Course Description

User interface (UI) design determines the look and feel of technological products; while user experience (UX) design improves the customer journey. Businesses are increasingly reliant on digital channels, presenting an imminent need for UI/UX designers. The course takes students through the gold standards in UI/UX through case studies, drawing from diverse design ideas in historical and modern contexts. Students then apply these skills in designing and prototyping a web page or app. Finally, students consider the importance of UI/UX inclusiveness through accessibility features.
