Students in this course will improve their ability to creatively solve problems as UI/UX designers. Projects will present students with advanced web or interaction design challenges that require novel solutions and creative problem solving. Students will work collaboratively by forming an in-depth understanding of a particular user problem and then conceptualizing and designing custom solutions using wireframes, prototypes, and mockups. Projects will also allow students to continue practicing their visual skills by creating consistent visual identities and style guides for web or app design projects. By the end of this course, students will have a greater ability to engage in the depth of thinking and level of problem solving required by complex UI/UX design projects.
