About the Course

Build Wireframes and Low-Fidelity Prototypes is the third course in a certificate program that will equip you with the skills you need to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience (UX) design. In this course, you’ll continue to design a mobile app for your professional UX portfolio. You’ll start by creating storyboards and getting familiar with the basics of drawing. Then, you'll create paper wireframes and digital wireframes using the design tool Figma. You’ll also create a paper prototype and a digital low-fidelity prototype in Figma. Current UX designers and researchers at Google will serve as your instructors, and you will complete hands-on activities that simulate real-world UX design scenarios. Learners who complete the seven courses in this certificate program should be equipped to apply for entry-level jobs as UX designers. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Develop a goal statement. - Create two types of storyboards: big picture and close-up. - Understand the difference between low-fidelity and high-fidelity design. - Apply the basics of drawing. - Apply the principles of information architecture to organize a mobile app. - Create paper wireframes for a mobile app design. - Develop digital wireframes in the design tool Figma. - Build a paper prototype to add interactivity to designs. - Design a low-fidelity prototype in Figma. - Recognize implicit bias and deceptive patterns in design. - Continue to design a mobile app to include in your professional portfolio. To be successful in this course, you should complete the previous two courses in this certificate program, or have an ability to conduct user research to inform the creation of empathy maps, personas, user stories, user journey maps, problem statements, and value propositions. You will also need paper and a pen or pencil....

I loved this course!! Gives you a taste of what s UX Designer does and gets you thinking like one. I loved creating wireframes and prototypes. This course got me excited to continue on in the program.

This course was by far my favorite as it challenged my knowledge from the previous two courses and it really got fun with the digital wire framing and prototyping. I am excited as ever to learn more!

Time required is a factor of 10 or 20 more than what is stated, especially for the projects. It's disappointing to do so much work and have a peer dismissively grade it without actually reviewing the project or without understanding the grading criteria. I do appreciate the resubmissions. I enjoyed learning about the ethical principles relating to design, and it was gratifying to finally see the results of the design process materializing in wireframes and prototypes in Figma. But don't count on their time estimates of course completion, especially if you are trying to fit this into a work and home life, or you will be struggling to keep up and to generate a project that actually works well in the time allotted.

Good introduction to paper to digital wireframes, then tutorial in using Figma for low-fidelity prototypes. However, the course could be clearer in explaining the assignments. I was unaware that during the paper wireframes, it was expected to create several screens of a certain user flow of an user completing a task. As I did not create this, I had to redo the paper wireframe, so that I could translate the paper copy into a digital wireframe in figma. I suppose some module seen out of place in this course (e.g. inclusive design), but maybe this course could be their first one for some students (so they needed to provide some modules to cater for these individuals).

I got frustrated trying to create links from one screen to the next. I was unable to get help from anyone in the class or responses for help. I was told to read articles. I spent about 5 hours trying to figure it out. Someone from a Facebook page ended up showing me how to fix it in 30 seconds with just 2 clicks. I wish we had mentors for things like this. That was 100% wasted time and I was so stressed out by it.

While helpful there were compleatly unnecessary nasty crits. Like I used Figma for the first time ever, prototyping. When i have only ever desinged still wireframs with adobe. I got beheaded for forgeting to link up the back buttons. A good crit is constructive, should give instructions on how to use software. Not taring down and i think there should be a function to report nasty crits.

Peer reviewed projects are annoying. When grading people don't use PDF format which is weird that they are allowed to submit other types. Idk what I'm downloading when it's not a PDF

Also had someone who failed my project that followed the guidelines exactly. 3/3 people gave it full points. The one random person deducted points for something that wasn't even on the rubric.

I would like some more time to experiment in FIgma and direction on components and how to make sure elements are essentially autoapplied to all pages and update as you update them. I know Figma is supposed to do that, But i had a hard time organizing my designs to ensure that I didn't have weird duplicates and the right one to open.

The content was farly OK, but the fact that the one from the entire last week is nothing about wireframing nor prototyping makes me think that they were simply like "how can me make this one larger? Oh, I have an idea...".

I enjoyed learning about Figma and howto use it with UX design. However several things seemed out of order or just plain busy work. I would prefer to work on my own portfolio assignment rather than the Coffeehouse project.

When creating wireframes on Figma, it says to use FF0000 which is a red color, yet all of the examples are grey, black, white. Left me confused for the first assignment. Other than that, okay course 3.

Boring a little bit i find all the the courses in this certificate hard to finish, also there is a lot of readings, i would love to see less readings and more videos and quizzes.

Figma hasnt been taught in a way good for beginners. I had to take a different course for it to be able to create a proper functioning prototype.

Course is really good. But Peer review for assignment is not quite useful. Nobody gives proper feedback.

The peer review process needs to be improved. It ruined the whole experience of this course.

Figma is annoying

Figma is a terrible program. I am a graphic designer that uses a lot of the adobe applications, and for me, Figma was not user friendly. It took me a very long time to complete simple wireframes for the prototype. I don't understand why Figma has multiple unecessary steps for something that should be one step. For example: When you click on the make a square button, you would think after creating a square it would stay on that button, well no it doesn't. It went back to the cursor. I was clicking so many times through out making my project, it was mind numbing. Please use a different program, anything else.

learned a lot, content is great but there are some huge problems with synchronisation of the app on mobile and desktop, I completed the third course of wireframing but I can't see my certificate, frustrating, a dealbreaker for me if problems persist

I don't get the low-fidelity design tutorial, this course just a repetition. And why persona, user story etc should in this course? I think the course should focus on how to craft a low-fidelity design.

Not clear on submissions, there should be a option

in a list format that links you to your assignments that are not completed.
