Lynda - Designing iOS and Android Apps

Explore the differences between iOS and Android, and learn how to design cross-platform apps that take advantage of each operating system's unique strengths. This course opens with big picture concepts—application architecture and usability—before narrowing its focus to application components, interactions, and UI controls, as well as visual design and how it relates to icons, typography, color, and imagery. Using Sketch, you'll see how all these pieces come together to form a successful application, and get an opportunity to build your own mobile app. Your instructor, user experience designer Renata Phillippi, ends with some resources to check out and continue your journey.
