The Path to Becoming a UI Designer

via XuetangX

Overview

This course follows the new business models of diversified interface terminal development, constructing mobile (reading check-in app interface design), PC (university official website interface), and vehicular terminal (Senova vehicle system interface optimization) interface design projects for practical teaching. It matches the demands of UI design roles, setting project tasks based on the UI design workflow of analyzing project requirements, designing interface interactions, designing interface elements, and aligning documentation delivery. Aligning with the professional skill level certifications (beginner and intermediate) for interface design, the course integrates fundamental knowledge of two-dimensional design, enabling learners to master the overall UI design process and methodologies, and equipping them with foundational interface design skills.

The course primarily features detailed video lectures by teachers and case study demonstrations, supplemented by PowerPoint presentations to highlight key knowledge points, and interactive posts for Q&A, complemented by multiple real interface design project cases. It establishes a theory-practice integrated project-based and task-oriented learning environment, empowering students to grasp the course's key points. The course includes virtual simulation training to help learners overcome challenges in composition design and color matching, effectively addressing the lack of artistic foundation. It also guides learners in tracking new design trends, staying updated with hot technologies like dark mode, promoting a comprehensive enhancement of design skills, creative abilities, and aesthetic appreciation, fostering the development of both rational thinking and emotional cognition.

Additionally, the course innovatively introduces a "Beginner's Exploration" module, inviting experienced learners to highlight key challenges, share learning tips, and offer a companion-style learning experience, catering especially to beginners. This aids learners in smoothly transitioning into the role of internet UI designers, laying a solid foundation for advancing to internet industry experience designers and full-link designers.

         Through the course, students are expected to gain a deep understanding of the UI design industry, clearly comprehend the professional ability requirements for UI design roles, possess UI product design thinking, be capable of designing product prototypes, master the standards of composition design, and apply knowledge of two-dimensional composition design in interface design practices. The course emphasizes the application of learned knowledge and skills in practical settings, requires students to engage in practical labor experiences, and guides them to develop autonomous learning abilities and positive value concepts, fostering their holistic development.
