Learn how to successfully create wireframes for early stage product design with interaction designer Michael Angeles, as he shows how to use Balsamiq Mockups to design interfaces with product teams. Balsamiq runs on the desktop or in a web app, and also as a plugin for Google Drive, Confluence and Jira.
In this 51 minute class, you'll see how concept selection can be tackled with low-fidelity wireframes, learn to create rough sketches to explore ideas, and then transform them into interaction design solutions that can be refined quickly, and polished for presentation. The class is perfect for product managers, developers, and those new to designing with wireframes. No prior knowledge or experience with interface design is required. By the end, you'll be able to present wireframes for a finished product idea and demonstrate a clickable prototype.
Create Project Wireframes and Prototype for a Product
Create a wireframe presentation and clickable prototype for a product idea. This assignment will use a project brief for a hypothetical restaurant ordering app. The brief provides the product requirements as the basis for creating an interface design proposal to solve the problem described. In the assignment, you'll focus on how to build wireframes describing how the product will function, and how the interface should behave and appear to the end user. You can create your wireframes for your own project brief, or you can use the example brief I've provided. To make it fun, maybe you can design the tool for your own favorite restaurant. Just have fun with it.
