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....

Great course with great instructors. I really enjoyed learning about wireframes and lo-fi prototypes. Figma is a great program and it was nice to have personal instructors teaching you how to use it.

After this course, I know how to create wireframes and lo-fi prototype. The course covers a lot of knowledge as well as exercises for you to practice what you're learning. You will learn how to create storyboards (big picture and close up), paper prototypes, and digital prototypes (using Figma). The instructor is very easy to understand. After each video, there will be readings so that you can review that topic. Also, quizzes are very helpful to test how well you understand the lesson. Overall, highly recommended course.

It was a great experience for completing this course 3, I was able to learn and implement the wireframing and prototyping phase in the UX Design Process with Figma. I learned how to build goal statements, create user flows, create big-picture storyboards, and close-up storyboards. Creating digital wireframes and building low fidelity prototypes on paper as well as in Figma was an interesting part of this course. I also learned about the different types of deceptive patterns in UX and how to avoid them.

Honestly, the most frustrating was working with Figma, and the best part was working with Figma! I had to re-do my wireframe and protoype initially because I wasn't using Frames correctly, but I figured it out. Now I just want to put in the visual design work in! Very excited to see something that I have created, putting 20+ hours into it. I had to walk away days at a time because I was so overwhelmed with this step but it opened my mind and I appreciate the new knowledge.

Muito bom! A teoria foi bacana, abriu minha visao para temas que antes eu nao conhecia e ele foi muito pratico! O curso dá uma base pra aprendizagem de uma ferramenta de design (Figma). A partir disso, voce pode se aperfeicoar de acordo com o grau desejado de conhecimento que voce desejar ter. Alem de te ajudar a focar em construir uma experiencia focada nos usuarios, cometendo menos deslizes na construcao de uma interface mais fluida e user-friendly. SUPER RECOMENDO!

by far the most enjoyable module of the course so far. Easy digestable small lessons of information combined with practicle activities made this a really great method of learning and actually remembering the information taught,

the other modules on this certification i.e module one are so full of information it is a real problem trying to remember everything, it also makes learning very labourious at times. This module is the complete opposite a breath of fresh air.

Awesome course!!! I love and enjoyed it. I didn't know anything about wireframing and prototyping until I took this course of the specialization. I love the way thew concept are explained in a clear, chronological and consise way.

The tutors at Google are really good. I recommed this courese to anyone who has no idea about ptototyping in UX Design and would like to develop skills in this area.

Thank you very much Google!!!

This course was very challenging but once I started understanding the basics I started putting my ideas together. I have a background in graphic design so I have experience in sketching and drawing and bringing designs into the computer to refine them. The challenge was understanding the paper wireframes and learning a new program called Figma. Overall I'm proud of myself for pushing myself to learn.

I had fun doing all the lo-fi wireframes and prototypes! However, I think it'd be better if the course offers more guides on using Figma. Not that it is hard to use but it's rather new to many of the students taking the course.

Also if the audio in some videos can be louder, that'd be really good. Sometimes, even when I set it to the loudest volume, it still came out almost hard to be able to hear.

It explains very clearly the logic of how to structure the skeleton of a mobile app and presents step by step how to draw a prototype on paper, how to reproduce it on Figma and transform it into a low-fidelity prototype, having an interactive prototype at the end of the course. For me the course was absolutely fantastic! Plus with the course you have access to the pro version of Figma for free!

This course has been my favorite so far in the sequence. The practices were exciting and the activites brought out the budding designer on the inside. The lessons were well written and full of enough information/examples to create a good start on the projects. There were plenty of materials that were available to cover the basics of Figma and set you up with success while learning the program.

It was an eye opener to learn the various deceptive patterns designers use to lure visitors into completing an action online. But I must confess the prototype was a very challenging task for me & so many peers I reviewed their project. Would be glad if more empahasis could be channel into that topic. Or betterstill have a hands on experts whom we can always reach out for help in real time.

The "Build Wireframes and Low-Fidelity Prototypes" course was very informative and practical. It taught me how to quickly create wireframes and basic prototypes, which are essential for the early stages of design. The lessons were clear and easy to follow. I now feel more confident in my ability to visualize and test design ideas. Highly recommended for anyone starting in UX design.

I really enjoyed this course. There was a lot of useful and valuable information. Great friendly lecturer, lots of additional material to study the topics. And it is very important to be able to study at your own pace, calculating your time and, if necessary, postponing the passing of tests. Overall, I really enjoyed studying UX and being part of the student community. Thank you!

Love this course so much! I had so much fun creating the digital wireframes. Finally feeling like a UX designer. I also enjoyed the challenge of creating elements and getting them to fit the screen.

The deceptive patterns too was very interesting to learn about. I could relate to the experience and I hope future employers allow me to exercise my right to design ethically.

This course is where bringing an idea to life through wireframes and lo-fi prototypes occurs. The course provides an easy-to-follow structure with clear instruction, as well as some optional tutorials for the Figma design tool. Having previously completed courses 1 and 2, course 3 really cemented the reasoning for following the design process without skipping steps.

Wonderful course, which is so interactive and fun to learn! Just a small suggestion that the audio levels of the videos kept on dropping and rising which was a distraction during learning. I had to keep on adjusting the volume during the course. It would be great if you could keep the audio levels same across the videos for a seamless learning experience.

The most interesting of the certificates so far. You start creating your app in this course beginning with paper wireframes and prototypes moving on to recreating them in Figma. You learn about big picture and close-up storyboards, info architecture, and deceptive patterns/ethics in design. This is where you start the hands-on design process. :-)

I enjoyed this course so much! I've learned so many things from it. Is amazing to see how my first app is slowly starting to take shape. The most interesting and at the same time the most challenging thing I've learned was building digital wireframes and lo-fi prototypes on Figma. I am very grateful to Coursera for giving me this opportunity!

This course was fun, and I was looking forward to taking this course. I'm familiar with a lot of design software, but I had been wanting to dive into Figma. This course made working with Figma very easy. Perhaps my experience helped with that, but I really felt like the walkthrough and how things were assigned, just really aided in the ease!

Dear All,

I never thought that I can work on UX. Create Wireframe, prototype and works on project with the help of FIGMA.

It's a great certificate course and most important that you can study according to your desire and while fulfilling other obligations. Please just keep going if you fail do not worry, just keep moving.

Good Luck !

Thankyou so much coursera, for giving me this opportunity. I have learned many skills in a very interactive way and i am looking forward to work more harder and get my desired goal to work for google as a UX desinger/ Visual designer. And our instructors were so confident and provided there in-depth stories, taught us and inspired us.

I learned a lot from this part of the Google UX Design Certificate program the most, namely because I finally can grasp how Figma works, compared to courses on Udemy where the instructor overexplains every minutiae of every function and button. Creating the digital wireframes and prototypes has been a tiring yet fulfilling achievement!
