Special Topic - User Interface DesignThis course provides students with an opportunity to learn to build interactive user interfaces and prototypes for digital products. User Interface (UI) Design is considered a critical aspect of modern product design, especially in digital products and products with digital interfaces.UI design is a process of visually guiding the users to communicate and interact with the products via interactive elements. UI design can be applied in mobile application/game design, software design, and design for digital devices across all platforms to enhance the users' experience.Students will be introduced to the design principles, research methods, and design approaches for UI/Ux design to create interactive interfaces that users will find visually appealing and mentally comfortable to use. Students will be able to identify users' needs of a specified context, construct, visualise, test, and present clickable digital prototypes in high-fidelity. Students will learn to design interactive interfaces for both digital and physical products in this course, which will expand their future career choices.
