UX 2021 - Interface Design II

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits

Course Description
Interface Design II is the second class in an interface design sequence that builds on the introductory topics covered in Interface Design I. The course expands on interface practices and topics and discusses concepts such as designing interfaces for multiple devices and designing for component-based interfaces. The prototyping concepts and practice of Interface Design I are expanded to include conditions, interactions, and workflows. Students will expand proficiency with prototyping tools, Adobe XD and Axure, through workshops and assignments. Students will also be introduced to front-end frameworks and JavaScript and learn how to work with these tools as part of developing interfaces. This course balances lectures with in-class workshops to maximize theory and practice with concepts discussed. (prereq: UX 2011)
