Experience designers create things that better connect us, attract us, involve us and include us. They make our lives easier, more fun and more meaningful, in big and small ways.
This course covers aspects of User Experience (UX) such as:
user interface (UI) design
graphic design
apps
You will move beyond mere usage to understand, perceive, connect, and engage people through your designs. You will extend your creativity beyond the screen to create products, services, spaces, and more.
Experience design is where people, technology and design meet.
You will learn industry-ready skills across all of these areas. You will learn how to use them together professionally to take projects from first idea to beautifully crafted outcome.
In learning about people, you will find that people aren’t just ‘users’. They are the centre of your approach. They will very often act as your collaborators and your creative inspiration. You will learn to really see people and to understand them deeply. This will touch on understanding their culture, identity and how they see the world. With this understanding, you will see where your design ideas could fit into their lives.
You will creativety harness current technologies to design new experiences. You will learn how to work with emerging technologies. This will prevent you from being stuck to any particular platform or medium. You will also learn how to stay flexible and ready to experiment with new opportunities playfully and creatively.
Experience designers can influence what the future looks like. You will explore using AI and other emerging technologies as design tools. You will look at how new technology could impact people and society in positive, negative (and ambiguous) ways in the future.
