What you will learn

Design a mobile application while learning all the features from Adobe’s latest product: Experience Design

Create mobile app prototypes with your designs with no coding necessary.

Share the designs with stakeholders, developers and the world.

Description

You want to quickly design or prototype mobile, web or desktop apps, right? That is why you are here. It’s great to have you because this course will teach you exactly that.

Maybe you are an experienced designer who wants to try something new or create prototypes out of the designs with no coding necessary, or maybe you are new to designing apps and want to learn an easy enough tool that still delivers a lot of features and lets you have a prototype to show the world at the end. Maybe, even, you are a developer, who wants to design an app before developing it. This course presents to you with Adobe Experience Design, and teaches you how to use it from scratch to design and prototype mobile applications.

What makes me qualified to teach you?

My name is Eduardo Rosas, I am a professional mobile developer, and have worked on many mobile apps in the past 5 years, including apps for the Mexican government and brands like Powerade, and during this 5 years I’ve worked close with designers on making these apps better. My experience working along designers taught me the way the apps should look (along with my passion for mobile design, I even have an Instagram account dedicated for that: BeautifulSoftware), and my experience as a developer taught me the way these designs should be delivered to a programmer.

Besides, we promise:

I now represent a startup called AlphaBeta, our main value proposition lays on the fact that we want you to achieve every goal set for the course, so if you feel like there is something missing, let me know and I will gladly try my best to make everything work for you. I will also be here to answer your questions and guide you when you need help. Udemy also grants a 30 day money back guarantee, so if you weren’t 100% satisfied with your purchase, you can have your money back, no questions asked!

As a bonus, and as part of AlphaBeta’s value proposition, you will get a 1-hour coaching session with one of our digital companions (myself or one of my colleagues) to solve any doubt you have regarding design, or even app development or digital marketing. (Please note that this session must take place 30 days after enrolling the course, and must be programmed in advance).

So what will you learn?

Become fluent on the use of Adobe’s latest tool, Experience Design, and design mobile, desktop, web and even smartwatch applications that can be created into prototypes to be shared with stakeholders, developers and the world.

Practice and get inspired

This course is designed to create a community of learners, I encourage you to share screenshots with us to inspire us or to receive feedback on your designs, I myself will be sharing the designs I find beautiful (and that also go into my Instagram Account) to inspire you. You will feel like an experienced mobile designer in no time.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll be learning:

  • Mastering the use of Adobe Experience Design with keyboard shortcuts

  • Storyboarding your app and designing it

  • Shapes and properties

  • Working more efficiently

  • Prototyping and Sharing

  • Exporting assets

  • FULLY REDESIGN THE SPOTIFY APP FOR iOS 11

  • Work even more efficiently by sharing styles and color assets

Take your mobile app creation process to the next step by learning how to easily design and prototype your ideas.

This is a good course if you're new to design, however, it doesn't cover in detail about the advanced features of Adobe XD. 3/5 Stars only because of the final section showing you some features of adobe XD that improve your workflow.

Very well explained and broken up into easily digestible parts. I've never used this program before and now I feel confident in knowing how to use it and even shortcuts that help me use it more efficiently. If you already use Adobe products the tools function just like the rest. If you have no experience with Adobe, the instructor does a great job of explaining the tools and how to use them.

Was easy to follow but can't give this full marks because the resource files in which he uses in the majority of the course are not provided. This means you have to spend extra time finding your own resources in order to do the same work (kind of bad for if you are in a rush to pick this up). Also sound quality is not consistent and skips over a lot (or fast forwards sections). He does update the course and being able to look at his YouTube site is good so I could get more out of this. I would recommend this course but would check out his YouTube page first to see if this is the right presenter for you (UI Inspirations).

Está muy bien explicado, completo; pero se me queda algo corto (o puede que no necesitara el curso :) )
