Chapter 2.2 — Advanced UI/UX design and tools.
This chapter is a natural continuation of the previous one, and therefore our supplementary material is located in Refactoring UI. It would be inefficient to also require you to read the course reader for this section, and so we ended up putting most of the required material in the slides and will require you to read some advanced techniques in the textbook.
Homework
We are almost done covering the design concepts that will be useful for your website. You just need to do the following:
-
Read the rest of Refactoring UI. We covered a lot of material in class, but there are advanced techniques which we believe you'll find useful as you design your website.
-
Finalize your website idea and sketch a few designs for it. Be prepared to present them in class and talk about your speficic choices! Make sure to use some of the techniques we covered in the last two lectures, especially what you learned about hierarchy, spacing, and prototyping.
