09.01. Methodology for learning user interface and prototyping
Learn how to design user interfaces to reflect in a tangible way all the design decisions and interaction models generated in the research and definition phases.
09.01. User Interfaces & Prototyping Basics Index
01. User interface design principles
The principles of interface design are governed by the common principles of design, but we have to adapt them to the specific casuistry of this type of media.

07. Bosquejo and Figma interface design software
Using good interface design software makes our work easier, but it is not everything. Due to the changing nature of this type of software, I am only showing an article on the two best known tools with the largest community, especially Figma.

08. Software for the design of the interface prototype
A prototyped artefact is the highest fidelity we can achieve, either through prototyping software or low-code. A must-have artefact in the evaluation of interaction patterns and micro-interactions.

10. How to transfer and print the user interface documentation
If we want our interface to be implemented correctly, we must learn to document our design and prepare the handoff or technical documentation for development.
