UX and UI Design

Course overview

Course Objective The UX and UI Design course teaches the fundamentals and methods of user-centered design for digital products. It covers approaches for gathering user requirements, information architecture, and the development of visual interfaces. The focus is on the connection between User Experience (process, research, interaction) and User Interface (layout, typography, components). The goal is to systematically derive, conceptualize, and design usable interfaces based on understandable design decisions. Content Introduction to UX: Roles, process models, user research through interviews, observations, and surveys, creation of personas, scenarios, and user journeys as a basis for requirement definitions. Information architecture and interaction design: Structuring content, navigation models, user flows, task analyses, and defining interaction patterns for web and app. UI fundamentals: Layout grids, typography, color and icon systems, component libraries, states and error messages, accessibility and barrier-free design according to common guidelines. Prototyping and testing: Low to high-fidelity wireframes, clickable prototypes, planning and conducting usability tests, evaluation, and iteration. Design tools and hand-off: Use of common UI tools, versioning, design tokens, style guides, documentation, handover to development with specifications. Evaluation and metrics: Heuristic evaluation, analysis of qualitative and quantitative data, deriving measures for further iterations. Learning Objectives - Analyze user requirements through interviews, personas, user journeys, and task analyses - Create information architectures including navigation structures and user flows - Conceptualize and develop wireframes as well as create clickable prototypes - Conduct usability tests including test planning, moderation, and evaluation - Implement consistent UI components considering typography, color, and states - Evaluate interaction patterns and integrate accessibility criteria into design decisions Career Prospects The course content is applicable in fields such as UX design, focusing on user research, information architecture, and interaction concepts. Typical job roles include UI designers, with an emphasis on layout, component development, and visual specifications. The course addresses content for roles such as product designers in digital teams, with interfaces to research, design, and development. There are also opportunities in the field of UX research, particularly in planning, conducting, and evaluating user-related studies. Summary The UX and UI Design course covers user research, interaction concepts, and the visual design of digital interfaces. This training provides methods from requirement analysis to prototyping and testing, up to hand-off to development. The topics taught are applicable in fields such as UX design, UI design, product design, and UX research.
