What you'll learn
Throughout this tutorial we'll follow the UX process in the creation of a mobile game. Along the way, we'll highlight how we can use tools and methods to help us apply our current UX thinking within the creative process to ensure a holistic and valuable experience. This training will require you to understand some of the basic methods of user research, visual design principles and layout design. Many people mistakenly think that "UX" is all about the user's experience, but it's actually more about a process of understanding and communicating ideas that solve the users' needs, the client's goals and the project's ambitions with a forever changing technological landscape. The goal of this training is to help creatives to connect the dots and grow better within their own work. Software required: Adobe Illustrator CC, Omnigraffle, Keynote .
