Mastering the Design Process

via Frontend Masters

Overview

Design is more than creativity. You must produce designs that provide real business value, even when faced with difficult stakeholders, scope creep, and iteration hell. In the course, you’ll learn a robust process to successfully take your design project from initial briefing to final delivery, avoiding common pitfalls. Gain new confidence in your design direction, and develop a strategy for managing client feedback. Most importantly, you’ll learn to get the design sign-off as painlessly as possible!
