In the application store there are thousands ... many applications! But let's be honest: only a tiny percentage are well posed, in such a way, that they are successful and used by users.
In this course of José Vittone and Javier Cuello you will learn the bases so that your app is not one of the heap, but one that really stands out from the others for being easy to use, useful and pleasant. Do not worry, through the contents of the course we will be advancing step by step in all stages of the design of an iPhone application, with everything you need to know.
We will go from the initial idea, through the definition of wireframes and prototyping, to those little visual details of the interface that are never taken into account, but if you design them well, you will get a big difference with your app.

SketchWhat is this course's project?
At the end of the course we will have designed an iPhone app. We have chosen a kitchen app because it has a diversity of screens. You can choose the app idea you want and develop it based on what we will learn.

Who is this online course for?
The course is designed for enthusiastic designers who want to enter the world of applications and learn to design functional and well-finished apps. All those who dare to make mistakes, learn from the error and try again can do this course. If you have designed a mobile application before, this course will help you raise the bar in your next challenges.
Requirements and materials
We're going to need you to have paper and a marker. An iPhone mobile with the apps "POP - Prototyping on Paper" and "Sketch Mirror" *, already installed. A computer with "Sketch 3", or "Photoshop" or "Fireworks". We recommend using Sketch because it has tools that will make your work easier when designing for mobile. When focusing on the details we will use "Keynote" but you could also use "After Effects" or "Flash".
* There are also free alternatives to "Sketch Mirror" like "Skala Preview" or "LiveView".
Reviews
A course by José Vittone y Javier Cuello
José Vittone is originally from Argentina, but from the interior of the province of Buenos Aires. He currently lives in Barcelona, where he met Javier about four years ago when they were Master's classmates in Elisava. He worked at Usolab and there he learned what usability and user-centered design really means.
Javier "Simón" Cuello born in Mendoza, Argentina. A small town in the west of the country and at the foot of the mountains, known for its trees, ditches and the quality of its wines. "Simón" was lucky to want to be a graphic designer since he was very young and, as he was growing up, his visual training was adding a particular interest for interactive and new technologies.

Well planned, structured , quite comprehensive..thanks

This is a great course to use as a planning tool when you want to design an app. I am finding it really helpful to connect all the areas of an app (that I would not have considered) together. I hope there is a second one to actually create the app in code. :)

Very user-centred. I’m finding it very down to earth as this is for beginners. I would like if the previous comment would specify what content is obsolete so they could update it.

El curso me ha gustado pero hay partes de la locución en las que se escucha muy mal al profesor y que se debería corregir (cuando el audio está en off) y los recursos están obsoletos (se deberían de actualizar).
