Course UI/UX Design from scratch

As a UI/UX Designer, you are what people see and what they can do with websites and applications. The job has two distinctive specializations in it, which companies have increasingly preferred to see in the same person.

User Experience design concerns the flow of a product: what people can do with the app/website and how they go about gettings things done. Ordering a taxi with ride-sharing apps is generally a simple and good user experience, while canceling a subscription service (especially during a trial period) often isn't. User Interface design is about what users see on their screen, and it's not just about the art. A good specialist can create the right associations with a color palette and shapes, while a mediocre one can make things very confusing with poor icon choice alone.

Our course covers design fundamentals (color, composition, typography), nuances of digital design (i.e. creating the same website for desktop and mobile), and modern tools. We primarily focus on Figma as the latest and biggest tool for both user experience and user interface design. It also comes with a ton of features that make collaborating around designs easier for the whole team. Figma runs on any device with access to the internet, so a Macbook is no longer a requirement for web designers. We also have a crash module in Adobe Photoshop so you can create new design assets and make advanced tweaks to the existing ones.

Beetroot Academy utilizes the flipped classroom strategy, which carries a heavy focus on practice for live classes. Our students go through theory between classes and come prepared to beef up their design portfolios. We make sure graduates have a solid number of apps and websites to back up job applications. Our teachers promote collaborative learning in the virtual classroom and beyond.
