Fail fast to succeed sooner: Design, Prototype and User Test
with Demian Borba
Full-day workshop • April 19th
The sooner you test and learn, the sooner you can iterate and achieve success. Learn how to design, prototype, and user test a modern iOS 11 application with Adobe XD, using Photoshop for complex bitmap editing and Illustrator for precise pixel-perfect icons. Start with high-fidelity designs, apply industry best practices, and use powerful UI kits to speed the design. Switch to prototyping to create interactions and define the best flow. Then wrap up with user testing.- On the Web
