How to train your designer eye & develop your design skills udemy course free download

Learn how you can use design inspiration effectively, how to analyze UI designs and how to practice & experiment

You'll learn how to consistently improve your design skills by continuously getting inspired by the offline & the digital world around you, and by building a habit around collecting design inspiration, analyzing UI designs and practicing our design craft.

I'll explain how to collect and analyze designs and practice designing user flows, layouts and UI elements: I will show you some effective techniques, my favorite resources, and I'm going to give you many-many practice activities. As a result, you'll have an approach or framework for train your designer eye on a daily basis.

Main topics

• getting inspired by the offline & the digital world around you

• collecting design inspiration

• analyzing UI designs

• practicing and experimenting

• conducting UX audits (coming soon)

This course is for your if

• you read a lot about design theory, but there is a gap between your theoretical understanding and practice, or

• you completed a design bootcamp (or you are in the process of completing one) but you don't have a plan for developing your designer eye on a consistent basis, or you just simply

• need a systematic approach to develop your skills

So if

• You are in the process of getting into design or

• You are a designer or researcher who wants to work on UI or visual design skills

• You are a student who needs some guidance

• You just simply want to train your designer eye,

I’m confident that you’ll greatly benefit from this course.

This course is NOT

• This is not a comprehensive design curriculum, review what is included in the course before purchasing it.

• I won't teach you how to use a certain design tool (e.g. Figma or Sketch). However, you'll find most of the practice activities inside a Figma file, so it is easier to complete the assignments if you have a Figma account (it is free).

• The course is not about an end-to-end UX/UI design process.

My goal

I'm a design mentor and teacher with 10+ years of professional experience, and throughout my years I've noticed that many designers don't know how to develop their design (UX, UI and visual design) skills effectively. They attend a bootcamp or some online courses, then they don't really know how they can improve their design skillset.

I wish I had known these tactics and approaches when I was a beginner designer!

If you are searching for a comprehensive, A to Z design course, then this is not the one you are after. However, my suggestion is that you should still apply this as a complementary course (e.g. if you are in the process of completing a design bootcamp), I promise that you will find a lot of gems inside it!

My goal is to constantly improve the course material, the first update is going to be a new section about UX Audits!
