UI Color Palettes

Colors are an important part of human communication, and affect how users feel and process information. Learn how graphic designers use colors effectively in designs, branding, app interactions and more. Apply your knowledge and build on your wireframes with the strategic application of color.

UI Accessibility

Accessibility ensures designs are inclusive. Learn the role UI design plays in creating accessible solutions by understanding the diversity of abilities, including auditory, cognitive, physical, and more. Apply this understanding to inform and elevate your user interface designs.

Unit 3

Responsive Design

Modern design and web development needs to accommodate the wide range of devices in today's technology ecosystem. In this unit, you will explore how to adapt your designs to a variety of responsive layouts and practice creating interactive prototypes to test your designs and define a near-complete experience.
