Course modules
- 01~150min
What UX/UI design actually is (UX vs UI vs Product vs Visual)
These titles get used interchangeably and badly. UX, UI, Product Design, Visual Design — they overlap but aren't the same. This module pins them down so you know what job you're doing.
- 02~150min
User research — the cheap kinds that work
Designers who don't talk to users design for themselves. This module is the practical research playbook — usability testing, interviews, the 5-user rule, and avoiding fancy methods that don't beat the basics.
- 03~150min
Information architecture — how things are organized
If users can't find what they need, your visual design doesn't matter. IA is the silent foundation that makes interfaces feel intuitive — or doesn't.
- 04~150min
Wireframing & prototyping — from idea to clickable
Most designers spend too long polishing too early. The art is fast iteration — sketches to wireframes to prototypes, getting feedback at each stage before going to high fidelity.
- 05~150min
Visual design fundamentals — typography, color, spacing, hierarchy
The craft of making interfaces look right. Most beginners get the principles wrong; senior designers internalize them. This module is the practical foundation.
- 06~150min
Interaction & motion — how interfaces respond
A static mockup shows what the interface looks like. Interaction shows what it FEELS like. Motion done right adds clarity; done wrong, distraction. This module covers the principles.
- 07~150min
Design systems & accessibility — the rigor that scales
Design systems turn one-off designs into reusable, consistent, accessible products. Accessibility isn't optional — it's the difference between a product that works for everyone and one that excludes 15-20% of your audience.
- 08~150min
Putting it together — a full design case study
Modules 1-7 covered the parts. This module assembles them into one cohesive design project — the way a senior designer would approach it.
