With the MGD User Experience/User Interface (UX/UI) Design Certificate students practice using a variety of media and tools, including Adobe Illustrator, Content Management Systems (CMS), and widely used prototyping tools with a focus on creative solutions and innovative ideas to create simple design projects related to the field. Additionally, students publish live websites using web editing software and File Transfer Protocol client as well as create wireframes, sitemaps, and design mock-ups. Students design effective and consistent User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX), projects using CMS and other open-source tools, and develop software implementation project plans. Students construct product design assets and employ user testing to validate designs and optimize user experience. Students also create electronic and traditional portfolios and participate in mock interviews with industry professionals.
