Course Content

Introduction to UI/UX Design
This topic lays the foundation for the course by clarifying the difference between UI and UX design and introducing the overall design thinking process that guides how professional designers approach problems.

User Research
This topic covers how designers gather insights about real users before designing anything, ensuring products are built around actual needs rather than assumptions.

Information Architecture & Wireframing
This topic covers how to structure content logically and translate ideas into low-fidelity layouts before moving into detailed visual design.

Visual Design Principles
This topic covers the core visual design principles that make interfaces look polished and professional, including color, typography, and layout.

Prototyping and Interaction Design
This topic covers how to bring static designs to life through interactive prototypes, simulating how a real product would look and feel to use.

Design Systems and Components
This topic introduces design systems, a practice used by professional teams to maintain consistency and efficiency across large products.

Usability Testing and Iteration
This topic covers how designers validate their work with real users and use that feedback to improve designs before finalizing them.

Final Project
This final topic lets students apply everything learned throughout the course by designing a complete product from research through to a polished, presentable case study.
