Adobe XD: Get Started Building Interactive Designs

Effective immediately in response to COVID-19, most Technology Training classes will be delivered online until further notice.

In advance of each session, Tech Training will provide you with a Zoom link to your class, along with any required class materials.

Have you ever wondered what separates a good app from a bad app? This workshop will provide a broad overview of the user-centered interaction design process and user experience, along with practical tools to create an interactive app prototype.

Requirements: Computer with Adobe XD installed

Goal: By the end of this class, you would have had the opportunity to learn the tools necessary to build interactive, high-fidelity prototypes for website and app design. Knowing this information will help you make better interactive online experiences as you learn to see an interactive design or experience from a user's perspective.

Objectives:

• Understand common interaction design patterns and principles and learn how to apply them to create meaningful experiences
• Use high-fidelity prototypes tools to create a basic app prototype
• Acquire a high-level understanding of the benefits gained by implementing a user-centered design framework
