Syllabus

From Low-Fidelity to High-Fidelity Design

Module 1 focuses on transitioning from initial concepts to polished mockups. You'll analyze and refine low-fidelity wireframes, develop a comprehensive Design System for GreenLeaf Grocers, apply design principles for visually appealing interfaces, and use Sketch to translate wireframes into high-fidelity mockups leveraging the created Design System. By the end, you'll have mastered transforming concepts into high-fidelity designs, preparing you for advanced prototyping.

Prototyping and Interaction Design

In module 2, you'll elevate your skills through designing intuitive navigation and micro-interactions, implementing responsive design principles across devices, utilizing Sketch's advanced prototyping features for complex interactions, and developing a fully interactive, high-fidelity GreenLeaf Grocers app prototype. By the end, you'll master advanced prototyping techniques for creating captivating, responsive designs across platforms.

Usability Testing and Iteration

This module equips you with skills for usability testing and design documentation. You'll create comprehensive documentation, specifications, and asset packages to ensure effective handoffs to developers. Additionally, you'll analyze usability test data, applying an iterative design process based on user feedback. You'll also plan and execute usability testing using best practices and tools like Sketch to refine the GreenLeaf Grocers app's user experience iteratively.

Course Wrap Up

In this final module, you'll reflect on the key concepts and skills learned throughout the course. You'll also develop a compelling case study presentation showcasing the entire UX design process for the GreenLeaf Grocers project.
