From basic principles of GUI design to practical know-how

Take the first step in GUI design by learning the essential basic GUI skills.

GUI design acts like a guide for delivering service content and communicating with users through graphic elements on digital device screensI will do it. Even if you see the same painting at an art museum, your experience at the museum may vary depending on what kind of docent you meet. The same goes for app design.

Even if we have the same content, the feeling that comes to us is different from person to person even if we talk about the same thing, such as an app that is friendly, an app that makes us feel fun, or an app that is rational and objective. It is the role of a GUI designer to create this kind of feeling. The most basic one is usability, but it provides a positive sensibility and leaves a good image in the user's memory. I think this is something only GUI designers can do.

While logical design that understands the cognitive characteristics of users is important, it also plays a role in clarifying brand identity and conveying emotional experiences. Therefore, GUI designers must have both rational and emotional visual expression skills.

What makes this class special

Learn all about GUI design with a four-step core process

❶ GUI concept and workflow

Edit Image Info First, let's look at GUI concepts and processes. I'm going to look at what GUI is, how it differs from UX and UI, and find out about the order and duties of GUI work.

❷ GUI design project planning

Second, we'll look at GUI design planning. When it comes to planning, you can think of it as the role of UX. However, when it comes to the visual domain, the GUI designer must lead both planning and implementation. Learn how to plan and conceptualize visual elements and start your own projects.

❸ Implementation steps using prototyping tools

Edit Image Info I'm going to try to implement an actual GUI screen. However, this is not a class dealing with prototyping tools, so it's a good idea to learn how to use basic prototyping tools. Rather than technical aspects, I'm going to deal with how to visually implement concepts and create the basis and logic for GUI design.

❹ Complete a career path as a design

We'll help you in class.

We created a class so that you can enjoy the entire design process in a short time, from market research for GUI design, concept drawing, design planning, and actual implementation. I think it will be a useful time for job-seekers who are preparing to become GUI designers, non-majors who want to try GUI design, and designers who want to expand their field of work into new fields.
