Hi there! My name is Dan & I’m an Adobe Certified Instructor. I’m here to help you learn Adobe XD efficiently & comprehensively. XD is a fantastic design tool used by industry professionals to product high quality & functional mockups. By the end of this course, you will be able to produce practical & effective User Experience (UX) & User Interface (UI) designs.

This video is an excerpt from my full course. But in the short free UI course we'll cover lots of awesome things in Adobe XD.

Throughout the course I’ll invite you to participate in a real-life freelance project which I’m working on. It’s a project that requires a fresh website & mobile app interface. This will prepare you for dealing with real world projects if you choose to move towards a UX/UI career path.

This course is aimed at people interested in UI/UX Design. We’ll start from the very beginning & work all the way through, step by step.

First, we will go over the differences between UX & UI Design. We will look at what our brief for this real-world project is, then we will learn about low-fidelity wireframes & how to make use of existing UI design kits.

I’ll go over all of the essential tools necessary for creating excellent wireframes, including: type, colours, icons, artboards, prototyping, models & popups, symbols & repeat grids. We will even make use of the new prototyping app so that you can experience your prototype on your mobile device.

An important part of maximising your UX Design workflow is being able to utilise other software such as Photoshop & Illustrator. This is why I’ll be teaching you how to make use of both to help boost your XD productivity.

One of the awesome new features of XD is micro-interactions. I’ll be teaching you all about those & how to use them to grow icons & scenes. This is one of the parts of web design that’s growing & being adopted rapidly so you won’t want to miss out.

There are two class projects for you to complete during this class, these will help develop your skills & will give you something for your own portfolio.

You'll need a copy of Adobe XD 2018 or above.
