About this badge

Visual design is one of the core disciplines of user experience (UX) design. Its focus on the aesthetics of the user interface ensures that it matches user needs and expectations, conveys the right message, and elicits appropriate emotional responses. Principally, visual design is concerned with typography, colors, images, symbols, and overall aesthetics. Effective visual design sets the hierarchy of a page or flow and informs users of what they will find within the site, how to navigate it, and why it may be of interest. This course offers specific design recommendations, examines numerous models, and delivers insights needed to increase your project’s visual appeal.
