Product Design 2-Day Intensive Workshop | Online
About this workshop series
Product Design (or User Interface Design) aims to shape and improve the user experience through means of visual communication, such as illustrations, photography, typography, space, layouts, and color.
We'll take a look at how a successful UI design enhances the product's content and functions by engaging users and helping to build their trust and interest. We’ll utilize the design tool, Figma, to further explore the elements of product design.
This 12-hour Adobe Creative Cloud 2-Day Intensive Workshop is the interactive and hands-on way to level up your product design skills. You will dive head first into history and theory, skill up with exercises, and by the end of the day have a refined and powerful design skillset!
