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....

This course gives a good theoretical overview of UI design which is important, but not much practical experience or any real world examples that would relate to a real world experience

The course was almost a bit too basic, not in its core lecturing, but the given assignments. I really didn't walk away from this course feeling like I did anything of substance.

The overall course is good but my point is they have to explain designing tools as well so that people can easily design their app easier with a more clear interface.

This course might be good for beginners, though examples of UIs in this course are way too old-fashioned, such UIs can't gurantee great user experience nowadays

It is good in general but quite far from today's design trend. I can say that I tried to make bad designs while completing assignments.

I am sorry to say that, but it's WAY TOO OUTDATED. Maybe basic info is ok, but the examples they gave.. ugh.

Der Kurs blieb sehr an der Oberflaeche. Ich wuerde ihn eher als Einfuehrung in das Webdesign sehen.
