About the Course

Build Wireframes and Low-Fidelity Prototypes is the third course in a certificate program that will equip you with the skills you need to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience (UX) design. In this course, you’ll continue to design a mobile app for your professional UX portfolio. You’ll start by creating storyboards and getting familiar with the basics of drawing. Then, you'll create paper wireframes and digital wireframes using the design tool Figma. You’ll also create a paper prototype and a digital low-fidelity prototype in Figma. Current UX designers and researchers at Google will serve as your instructors, and you will complete hands-on activities that simulate real-world UX design scenarios. Learners who complete the seven courses in this certificate program should be equipped to apply for entry-level jobs as UX designers. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Develop a goal statement. - Create two types of storyboards: big picture and close-up. - Understand the difference between low-fidelity and high-fidelity design. - Apply the basics of drawing. - Apply the principles of information architecture to organize a mobile app. - Create paper wireframes for a mobile app design. - Develop digital wireframes in the design tool Figma. - Build a paper prototype to add interactivity to designs. - Design a low-fidelity prototype in Figma. - Recognize implicit bias and deceptive patterns in design. - Continue to design a mobile app to include in your professional portfolio. To be successful in this course, you should complete the previous two courses in this certificate program, or have an ability to conduct user research to inform the creation of empathy maps, personas, user stories, user journey maps, problem statements, and value propositions. You will also need paper and a pen or pencil....

This course was by far my favorite as it challenged my knowledge from the previous two courses and it really got fun with the digital wire framing and prototyping. I am excited as ever to learn more!

I had fun doing all the lo-fi wireframes and prototypes! However, I think it'd be better if the course offers more guides on using Figma. Not that it is hard to use but it's rather new to many of the students taking the course.

Also if the audio in some videos can be louder, that'd be really good. Sometimes, even when I set it to the loudest volume, it still came out almost hard to be able to hear.

It explains very clearly the logic of how to structure the skeleton of a mobile app and presents step by step how to draw a prototype on paper, how to reproduce it on Figma and transform it into a low-fidelity prototype, having an interactive prototype at the end of the course. For me the course was absolutely fantastic! Plus with the course you have access to the pro version of Figma for free!

This course has been my favorite so far in the sequence. The practices were exciting and the activites brought out the budding designer on the inside. The lessons were well written and full of enough information/examples to create a good start on the projects. There were plenty of materials that were available to cover the basics of Figma and set you up with success while learning the program.

It was an eye opener to learn the various deceptive patterns designers use to lure visitors into completing an action online. But I must confess the prototype was a very challenging task for me & so many peers I reviewed their project. Would be glad if more empahasis could be channel into that topic. Or betterstill have a hands on experts whom we can always reach out for help in real time.

I really enjoyed this course. There was a lot of useful and valuable information. Great friendly lecturer, lots of additional material to study the topics. And it is very important to be able to study at your own pace, calculating your time and, if necessary, postponing the passing of tests. Overall, I really enjoyed studying UX and being part of the student community. Thank you!

Love this course so much! I had so much fun creating the digital wireframes. Finally feeling like a UX designer. I also enjoyed the challenge of creating elements and getting them to fit the screen.

The deceptive patterns too was very interesting to learn about. I could relate to the experience and I hope future employers allow me to exercise my right to design ethically.

This course is where bringing an idea to life through wireframes and lo-fi prototypes occurs. The course provides an easy-to-follow structure with clear instruction, as well as some optional tutorials for the Figma design tool. Having previously completed courses 1 and 2, course 3 really cemented the reasoning for following the design process without skipping steps.

Wonderful course, which is so interactive and fun to learn! Just a small suggestion that the audio levels of the videos kept on dropping and rising which was a distraction during learning. I had to keep on adjusting the volume during the course. It would be great if you could keep the audio levels same across the videos for a seamless learning experience.

The most interesting of the certificates so far. You start creating your app in this course beginning with paper wireframes and prototypes moving on to recreating them in Figma. You learn about big picture and close-up storyboards, info architecture, and deceptive patterns/ethics in design. This is where you start the hands-on design process. :-)

I enjoyed this course so much! I've learned so many things from it. Is amazing to see how my first app is slowly starting to take shape. The most interesting and at the same time the most challenging thing I've learned was building digital wireframes and lo-fi prototypes on Figma. I am very grateful to Coursera for giving me this opportunity!

This course was fun, and I was looking forward to taking this course. I'm familiar with a lot of design software, but I had been wanting to dive into Figma. This course made working with Figma very easy. Perhaps my experience helped with that, but I really felt like the walkthrough and how things were assigned, just really aided in the ease!

Dear All,

I never thought that I can work on UX. Create Wireframe, prototype and works on project with the help of FIGMA.

It's a great certificate course and most important that you can study according to your desire and while fulfilling other obligations. Please just keep going if you fail do not worry, just keep moving.

Good Luck !

Thankyou so much coursera, for giving me this opportunity. I have learned many skills in a very interactive way and i am looking forward to work more harder and get my desired goal to work for google as a UX desinger/ Visual designer. And our instructors were so confident and provided there in-depth stories, taught us and inspired us.

The video tutorials were easy to understand and fun to watch. This course introduced me to a new software of Design Field i.e Figma. Starting from sketches to moving onto figma to build wireframes and lofi prototypes felt great. The examples very very relatable and realistic that helped me to better understand the process of design.

The course is great! I'm not new to Figma, so it wasn't very challenging for me to create digital wireframes and prototypes in this app. At the same time, paper wireframes and storyboards were really good training. I like the studying process very much, and the instructors are pleasant people. Thanks a lot, Google and Coursera!

It was very easy to follow. You definitely have to focus and do the work. You may have to watch a video a couple times and you can use Slack to join the community and get help from other members. I received a welcome email right away asking if there were any questions I needed. I wish I would of have taken it sooner!

It was a great experience. In that course I'ce learned a lot practical things, and the theory provided is very important in Ux design process. It was the first time I've done paper and digital wireframing, paper and digital lo-fi prototyping. I really deeped my consious in Figma and the options that are available.

I learned a lot with this course and although I am still not convinced that the peer-review system is really helping everyone understand what they are doing well or not, I understand its use because of the sheer number of students. I wish that there was more content in this course about basic figma features.

I really love being able to learn Adobe Figma :) Karen, the course teacher, is very thorough and relatable. It's been a fun course. This particular course has taken me the longest to complete thus far because it's a lot of new information and skills to learn but in the end I feel very proud of my progress.

I've learned Low-fi wireframing and prototyping. It was the best course in which we actually start designing our project and I enjoy the learning and the process of making assignments a lot. Thanks Coursera for this opportunity and Google for giving us the best knowledge through your Professional People.

I have learned so much more in detail. This course was really amazing because this is where we will learn so much in detail and this where UX designer comes into picture. So everyone new to this course I suggest you go in continuation from foundations of UX design course instead of starting thiss first.

The first stages of bringing things together from the other courses start here. The research and intentions come together in paper wireframes and then not too long after the digital wireframe process starts. Great build up and flow moving through the courses, excited to keep this forward momentum!

Absolutely loved this course. It was a great experience. The speakers were good designers who shared their vision from beginning to end. I do it just for a few weeks, and I am happy to receive my certificate. I will recommend those who want to learn UI UX Design from scratch. Thank you, Googlers!

A wonderful course especially concerning Figma! While I do think that some of the practice assignments needed to be actual end of the week assignments it was still a wonderful experience. I am in awe at the difference in regards to courses concerning coursera vs. udemy. Almost halfway done!
