CUXD 213 S001: Interaction + Motion Design

Interactivity and motion design engage users with a product, making it more enjoyable and memorable. When used effectively in relation to UX and UI design, motion design can optimize user interactions, communicate information, create a sense of flow and continuity, and give feedback to users. In this course, you will learn the key principles and frameworks of motion design for UX/UI, using human interface guidelines, gestalt principles, and 5 dimensions of interaction design to create meaningful and user-friendly experiences. From micro-interactions to custom animations and rendered interactive features, you will apply storytelling techniques, usability testing methods and validation processes learned throughout the program to explore the purpose and value of interaction design. This course will introduce industry standard tools like After Effects and Blender and how to integrate your designs into a UX workflow.
