About the Course

This design-centric course examines the broad question of what an interface is and what role a designer plays in creating a user interface. Learning how to design and articulate meaning using color, type, and imagery is essential to making interfaces function clearly and seamlessly. Through a series of lectures and visual exercises, you will focus on the many individual elements and components that make up the skillset of an interface designer. By the end of this course, you will be able to describe the key formal elements of clear, consistent, and intuitive UI design, and apply your learned skills to the design of a static screen-based interface. This is the first course in the UI/UX Design Specialization, which brings a design-centric approach to user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design, and offers practical, skill-based instruction centered around a visual communications perspective, rather than on one focused on marketing or programming alone. These courses are ideal for anyone with some experience in graphic or visual design and who would like to build their skill set in UI or UX for app and web design. It would also be ideal for anyone with experience in front- or back-end web development or human-computer interaction and want to sharpen their visual design and analysis skills for UI or UX....

I just wanted to point out sometimes we need constructive criticism but peers don't take it seriously.

Very useful course for the beginners, however the peer grading system is quite complicated. A new grading system can be introduced.

Very beginner-oriented. It seems a little outdated with technology and designs, but the foundation and material are very relevant.

It would probably be if more examples of digital interfaces are used and how the theory is evidenced in those digital interfaces

It’s great. But we need feedback on our assignments from experts. Not just regular students so we know what we are lacking.

It was a good basic UI Design course but the peer reviews portion is unhelpful, would like more constructive feedbacks.

I think it's better for intructors to show up their face during lecture. It'd create emotional bond with the students.

Theoretical concepts are well taught but connecting those to practical work is where one finds it a little hard to do.
