AG-UI
New Interface Design (UI) primer
Description
The Interface Design (UI) primer is a short but effective crash course that condenses the principles of UI design into 1 day of instruction, and introduces the latest and most effective tools in the trade.
Participants will learn about the key elements of visual communication, web standards, agile user interface design processes and how this relates to UX and digital product development.
In addition to the theoretical parts, the training will also focus on practical skills, so participants can learn how to sketch, use the Figma design software and create a mobile application framework in a series of workshops.
