Create Digital Wireframes for Mobile Apps With Adobe XD from Coursera

Adobe XD is a UI/UX design tool that allows users to create all kinds of graphic art and website design products including website wireframes, mobile app wireframes, Social Media images, and other projects. It has many of the most popular features of Adobe Photoshop, and it allows users to import files from Photoshop, Illustrator, and Sketch. In this project, learners will learn how to start a project with Adobe XD including getting a free account, how to get started with a website design project, how to create a mockup for a website homepage, and other basics that will help learners get any projects off to a good start. This is the perfect project for someone who needs an easy-to-use platform to create advanced-looking graphic art products. This will be beneficial to individuals and teams in creative departments, marketing and sales, design, and departments where creating presentations is a regular need. Having a basic understanding of creative terms and phrases is helpful. Understanding basic graphic arts principles is also helpful but not required to do well in this project. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. Weâ€™re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
