Great class. Coming from a development background with knowledge of Sketch and some basic graphic design concepts, I was able to relate to Dan's helpful and insightful feedback while working through the class website project. He provided suggestions covering a wide range of design elements - content, gestalt principles, typography, color, photo elements, the overall feel, etc.

Having some knowledge in visual design, I wasn't sure if I needed this course but decided to take the leap. It was a fantastic course than gave me more insight toward visual guidelines, ideas and strategies that I have already put into place the day after class. I recommend this class to anyone looking to gain more knowledge in this field.

Jemal McClary

My professional experience up to this point has been primarily print based so when I learned Noble Desktop had a web and mobile class geared toward visual designers, such as myself, I immediately signed up and was very pleased with the results. The three day course offered an in-depth overview of visual theory, communication design, technical processes, industry practices and standards as it relates to cross platform web design. The assignments were pertinent, engaging and offered an opportunity to learn from fellow classmates. The course instructor was a highly effective instructor, attentive to each student and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend this class to others seeking to make a positive career change.

James Massey

The Visual Design bootcamp is a must for anyone getting into the UI field. Dan Rodney is a great instructor with lots of knowledge and enthusiasm. I learned a great deal in a short period of time. Very happy I decided to go with Noble Desktop.

Design websites for mobile phones, tablets, and desktops

UI Design (Visual Design)
  • User Interface (UI) design—also called Visual design—is designing the look and feel of websites, apps, etc.
  • UI design incorporates color, composition, typograph, photography, illustraton, and more to create attrictive and usable layouts.
  • UI designers craft a visual language and hierarchy that combines UX (user experience), information architecture, and interaction.
UI Design (Visual Design) Applications
  • Figma, Adobe XD, and Sketch are design apps used by UX and UI designers. Not only can you create your visual designs (for website, apps, etc.), but you can even turn them into working prototypes to show clients and do user testing with. Sketch is a Mac only app, while Figma and Adobe XD work on Mac and Windows. Figma and Adobe XD have very good prototyping features (better than Sketch) and you can even incorporate some animation with them.
  • Photoshop is a photo editor with design features. Web designers who had used Photoshop have turned to Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch which were created solely for the purpose of UI (Visual) and UX design. They still use Photoshop though for editing photos used in their designs.
