UI Track_

Evening Short Course

In this course we will introduce to you the ins and outs of User Interface Design in Figma.

You will learn the fundamentals of user interface design, including colour theory, type for screen and how to set up grids, giving you the confidence to create beautiful screen designs.

From setting up a project to creating components, drawing icons, prototyping, and exporting your work for developers, we will guide you through the process, step by step, working on a fully interactive design and prototype.

Today’s UI designers are fortunate to be able to choose from a variety of tools, the one which will best serve their needs. With a growing following, Figma has taken the UI design community by storm, proving to be the most powerful at responsive, fast-paced design and team collaboration. Those designers who list Figma as their preferred tool, have also found those skills easily adaptable to other alternatives such as Sketch or Adobe XD, making it the most versatile choice.
