This course introduces a design-centric approach to user interface and user experience design, and offers practical, skill-based instruction centered around a visual communications perspective. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating the stages of the UI/UX development process, including user research and analysis, choosing methodologies, defining a project's strategy, scope, and information architecture, developing sitemaps and wireframes, performing user testing, and producing prototypes. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate current best practices and conventions in UX design and apply them to create effective and compelling digital screen-based experiences.
