Module Example

Web and screen design 3 – User interface design

A course for those who really want to understand why users often visit certain websites and feel “at home” while using them, whereas others may be visually attractive, but totally insensitive to user needs and thus off-putting. We will deal with the structure of websites and application interfaces, wireframes, navigation design, design components and styles, style guides, understanding user and customer needs as well as with the establishment of projects as integral complexes of best technology practices, basic design settings and requirements arising from user behavior.
