User Interface Design and Prototyping

Students will learn an in-depth exploration of user interface design within the framework of human-centered design. This class will focus on methods for creating interfaces that are functional, usable, and engaging, with an emphasis on aligning design decisions with user needs and behaviors. The course covers principles of interaction design, visual hierarchy, and accessibility. Students will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard prototyping tools to produce low to high fidelity prototypes. By the end of the course students will have projects that show how the user experience and the user interface are inextricably linked.
