By the end of this project, you will learn how to edit photos for social media using the free version of Canva. An essential role of your social media marketing strategy is to establish your online identity and to appeal to your users, many times on a lean marketing budget. You don’t need to be a professional photographer to create eye-catching images and photo projects. You can use Canva to complete this project because it provides all the tools you need to edit photos for social media, while offering a variety of options for sharing and publishing.

In this course, you will learn how to design technologies that bring people joy, rather than frustration. You'll learn several techniques for rapidly prototyping (such as Wizard of Oz Prototyping) and evaluating multiple interface alternatives -- and why rapid prototyping and comparative evaluation are essential to excellent interaction design. You'll learn how to conduct fieldwork with people to help you get design ideas. How to make paper prototypes and low-fidelity mock-ups that are interactive -- and how to use these designs to get feedback from other stakeholders like your teammates, clients, and users. Armed with these design-thinking strategies, you’ll be able to do more creative human-centered design in any domain. This is the first course offered in the interaction design specialization series.

After completing this project, you will be able to use the paint brush in many ways. First, you will learn how to navigate through Adobe Illustrator. Then you will learn how to use a basic stroke for your paint brush before you will learn more about the brush library. Then you will learn how to apply your paint brush outside of freehanding - to text and to shapes. Additionally, you will learn all about the expand feature and how this affects your paint brush depending on the result you are looking for. The aim of this project is to familiarize you with all that the paint brush in Adobe Illustrator has to offer.

In this 2 hour project you will develop a small website with no coding using Webflow, learning all the most important elements of building site with this tool. You will create layouts with containers, columns and grids, create static and reusable content, add forms and call to action, and ensuring a responsive design adapting the page to tablet and mobile devices.

In this course, we'll look at the object oriented patterns available in PHP. You'll learn how to connect to a MySQL using the Portable Data Objects (PDO) library and issue SQL commands in the the PHP language. We'll also look at how PHP uses cookies and manages session data. You'll learn how PHP avoids double posting data, how flash messages are implemented, and how to use a session to log in users in web applications. We'll then build the first 'complete' application that has multiple screens to Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) our data. This brings all the previous concepts together and will form the basis for all later web applications. It is assumed that learners have already taken the Building Web Applications course in this specialization.

By the end of this project, you will be able to create a user interface story map that your business can use as a roadmap for release planning and as a framework for version and improvement releases over time. The power of the user interface story map is that it places the spotlight of the release process upon the user. This enables the business to stay focused on user experience and needs throughout releases of products and makes it easier for cross-functional teams to home in on what is necessary to gain and maintain user acceptance so that an exceptional user experience is sustained. To design a user interface story map, you will gain hands-on experience applying design thinking, user interface knowledge, and context from each step of the customer journey in the Miro online visual collaboration platform for teamwork. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

Traditionally speaking, website designs follow a format based on newspaper layouts. Although that is an useful (unspoken) convention, it does bring limits to what one can create when building a webpage. The tool explored in this project challenges that by allowing users to work on a website just as if they were doing a paper collage with... HOTGLUE. With zero code and straight from the web-browser. The study object for this project is the website of a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) so you will also learn about this emergent paradigm for human coordination. However, you are most encouraged to bring your own website idea/need and develop that throughout our journey. Let's go?

Design, engineering, and manufacturing are undergoing a digital transformation, and the need for a collaborative product development environment is becoming an ever-growing requirement. Autodesk® Fusion 360™ meets this need by connecting CAD, CAM, and CAE in a single cloud-based platform unlike any other tool of its kind. This course builds upon digital manufacturing trends and foundational CAD concepts discussed in Course 1 of this series by introducing Fusion 360 as a problem-solving tool. In this course, we take the next step in connecting CAD, CAM, and CAE through a series of short exercises on 3D modeling, rendering, simulation, and computer aided manufacturing. After completing this course series, you will be able to: • Demonstrate knowledge of and apply job entry level skills in computer aided design, computer aided engineering (CAE) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) using Fusion 360 software. • Describe and apply design based workflows for design, engineering and manufacturing using Fusion 360 software. • Utilize Fusion 360 cloud based collaboration features for project sharing and design review.

By the end of this project, you will be able to leverage a Look Mock Analyze analysis to understand what customers want and learn from product designs that have already been tested. To complete the Look Mock Analyze to Identify Strengths and Weaknesses in Miro project, you will gain hands-on experience identifying opportunities for improvements and design features that resonate with customers in the Miro online visual collaboration platform for teamwork. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
