01What you will learn

What you will learn

  • Start every screen from its content
  • Build visual hierarchy with size, weight and space
  • Use a spacing system consistently
  • Design empty, loading and error states
  • Write a short rationale for a design review

02About this course

Learn to design interfaces that people understand at a glance. We work from the inside out: content first, then hierarchy, layout, spacing and interaction states.

Each module ends with a redesign exercise and a short written rationale, so you practise explaining your decisions as well as making them.
