OCUX presents our second workshop that will teach you the fundamental of creating a functioning InVision prototype of an existing Google Material Design mobile app. The second half of the workshop you can bring in your own project to work on. The instructors will provide help in areas that you have questions on. The lead instructor has taught this same workshop to an international audience most recently at ConveyUX in Seattle earlier this year.

Details

Are you in the process of building a web site or an app and are intimidated with Illustrator? Are you transitioning into web design and need high-fidelity tools to build mockups? Have you seen all the job postings that required Sketch? Sketch was built specifically for the modern web designer (or app designer) in mind. Bohemian Coding’s Sketch is already in use by many fortune 500 companies.

In this hands-on workshop you’ll be learning from an expert who will walk you through this award-winning yet approachable software. This is a hands-on workshop where you will learn how to navigate the interface of Sketch and create a digital prototype that you can showcase.

Takeaways:

You have done your UX research, wireframes and are ready to design your app. This 3.5 hour workshop will cover fundamentals of interaction design by designing a native app in Sketch that we will prototype in InVision. The course will include:

• Creating artboards in Sketch

• Editing artboards in Sketch

• Using IconJar library to bring visual assets into Sketch

• Exporting artboards

• Adding interactions to the screens in InVision

• Team collaboration on your designs

• Time to work on your own project using Sketch and InVision
