Overview

UI design skills are one of the most employable opportunities of our lifetime. In this course you’ll learn how to design a professional website in Adobe Illustrator. We’ll start right at the basics of Illustrator and work our way through to building professional UI designs. This course doesn’t cover how to code a website but focuses on the design processes that professional UI designers use when working.

This is a project based class for students who are new to the world of app & web design. I created this for people nervous about changing their careers into the world of user interface design.



We’ll build a professional portfolio website. You can use this course to build your own portfolio website (the one you’ve been putting off for years). You’ll learn how to design desktop, tablet and mobile versions of your website. You’ll learn what you’ll need to deliver at the end of a project to your client.

This course is for people serious about becoming a User Interface design professional.

Know that I’ll be around to help - if you get lost you can drop a post on the video 'Questions and Answers' below each video and I'll be sure to get back to you.

Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor

I discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.

Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Transcript

First thing we need to do is to get the exercise files, so there'll be a link in the description or on the sites here somewhere, we can go out and get the exercise files, and they are just like the images that we're going to use, any text we use, any kind of resources that I talk about, so download those.

The other thing that's going to be there is, there'll be a link on every specific video to something called the completed file, and it just means, when I'm doing something in a course, when I get to the end, I'll hit 'Save', and I'll put it in a special folder, and name it the same as the video so that if you're doing it, and yours look not like the same, you can download my version, check it out, open up Illustrator, and go, "Oh, that's how he's done that." So just compare the two, they're called completed files, and they're only on videos that we're actually doing.

And the last thing is the cheat sheet. The cheat sheet is something that I make. There'll be a link on the screen, about here. You can go there, they're downloadable PDF, print it out, there's a video version too, share it around, and it's just that stuff. Once you're finished with this course, you'll be like, "I'm good now, I want to go faster, I want all the shortcuts." That's what those little cheat sheets are for. Go download all of that, and then we'll go onto the next video.
