Adobe XD UI UX Essentials 2022
Description
This comprehensive Adobe XD course is designed for beginners and those looking to master the essentials of UI/UX design. The course provides a step-by-step guide to understanding and utilizing Adobe XD for creating stunning and functional user interfaces and user experiences. Starting with the basics, you will learn what Adobe XD is and how it differs from other design tools, as well as the crucial distinctions between UI (User Interface) and UX (User Experience). You'll explore the concept of personas and task flows, essential for understanding your target users and their needs.
Next, the course delves into wireframing, covering both low-fidelity and high-fidelity approaches. You'll learn how to set up artboards, determine the ideal width for your website or app, and effectively work with typography to create clear and engaging designs. The course emphasizes practical skills, teaching you how to use rectangles, circles, buttons, and rounded corners, as well as how to implement color effectively in Adobe XD. You’ll discover techniques for working with strokes and how to copy and paste appearances to maintain consistency throughout your designs.
Furthermore, the course covers the importance of using free icons and UI kits to accelerate your design process. You'll learn how to find, use, and edit existing UI kits, and also addresses common issues encountered when working with groups. A significant portion of the course is dedicated to prototyping, teaching you how to add interactions, implement easing effects, and preview your designs on both iPhone and Android devices using the Adobe XD app. You will also explore advanced animation techniques using auto-animation and gain a deeper understanding of animation principles.
The course also covers collaboration and sharing, teaching you how to share wireframes for comments and feedback. You will learn to work with columns and grids to create structured and responsive designs. The course addresses the integration of Adobe XD with other Adobe products, clarifying whether knowledge of Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop is necessary. Practical techniques such as blurring backgrounds and objects are also covered. The course further explores the use of components to create reusable design elements and the repeat grid feature for efficiently creating lists and galleries. You'll learn how to use stacks to make forms and create micro-interaction toggle switches. Finally, the course concludes with how to export code from Adobe XD for engineers using design specs, ensuring seamless collaboration between designers and developers.
