Web Designer

Welcome to UX week! Hope you've enjoyed getting set for your Blueprint and starting to think about your project.

This week, as you learn about User Experience (UX), you'll be producing several deliverables. From mood boards to wireframes, you'll learn the skills needed to get started in User Experience design. Your goal during this week should be to gear these deliverables towards your course project.

Remember, even if you don't have any work to show off yet, you can still build a personal portfolio site that showcases who you are and what you're all about. And a portfolio will serve you well in the future as your "online presence", no matter what your personal and professional goals are.

SAMPLE PORTFOLIO SITE DESIGNS

Still thinking about what to do for your project? Good! The UX stage is all about thinking, refining, planning and prototyping so you're right on track.

To give you some ideas of what's possible, you can take a look at some portfolio examples from a few of our past students:

• cristykoebler.com
• magalidubourdieu.com
• shannacompton.com
• camille-collard.com

Today's lesson kicks off the UX planning process. Now that you've gotten some inspiration, let's jump right in!
