What's included in this course?
Start by meeting Christian Vizcarra, who tells you about his professional journey of becoming a UX & UI designer and his experience working around the world for different startups and companies.
Dive into the world of applications, taking a look at the similarities and differences between UX and UI and the importance of good design in an app.
Every digital product must respond to a need, so one of the first things you do in the course is identify a real problem in your day-to-day life that you can solve with an app.
Then, look for the solution to your problem. Carry out a brief search for applications to use as a reference and create an inspirational mood board.
Apply the UX bases to define the main screens of the application and the objective of each one—or in other words, the user experience. Learn what a wireframe is and what it is used for. Christian then gives you some tips to create your own.
Get to know the basic fundamentals of UI—color, typography, and iconography—and put them into practice in Sketch. In addition, discover the native components of iOS and Android to design screens with all the key elements.
To finish, share your project on some networks recommended by Christian to get feedback from other professionals, improve your proposal, and promote your app.
