Design Compass, a leading provider of online design education, has announced a significant upgrade to its popular UI design course. The addition of Level 5 (LV5) expands the curriculum to encompass 14 essential components crucial for creating intuitive and effective user interfaces.
This complete update focuses on the basic building blocks of UI design, elements that remain relevant across various platforms, from traditional computers to modern smartphones.Even as the landscape shifts with the rise of AI, the core principles of user interaction remain constant. The course systematically organizes these essential components, providing a structured learning path for aspiring and experienced designers alike.
Drawing upon best practices from industry giants like Apple, Google, Meta, Adobe, IBM, Airbnb, Uber, and Line, the course incorporates proven UI planning methodologies. Rather of simply mimicking existing designs, the curriculum emphasizes strategic planning, focusing on the purpose and function of each component. “Rather than simply following the form, we organized it with a focus on how to plan for what purpose the component shoudl be designed,” explains the course developers.
the course breaks down the learning process into three key areas: graphics (visual form),composition (relationship and arrangement of elements),and interaction (rules for user interaction). Students actively participate by designing their own UIs for each component and receiving valuable feedback.

David Lee: It’s a pleasure to be here, Sarah.
sarah jenkins: David, Design Compass recently announced a significant upgrade to their popular UI design course, specifically the addition of Level 5. What exactly does this new level entail,and why is it crucial for aspiring UI designers?
David Lee: Level 5,or LV5,focuses on solidifying the foundational knowledge of UI design. It breaks down the design process into its most essential components – 14 key elements found across all platforms and devices, from desktop to mobile. Think buttons, text fields, cards, tabs – the building blocks of any user interface. While design trends come and go, these core principles remain constant.
Sarah Jenkins: So, it’s really about understanding the “why” behind the design, not just the “how.”
David Lee: Exactly. LV5 emphasizes strategic planning. It goes beyond simply mimicking existing designs and encourages designers to think critically about the purpose and function of each element. How does this button contribute to the user’s overall experience? How can we use tabs to improve data organization? Those are the questions we want designers to ask.
SarahJenkins: The press release mentioned incorporating best practices from industry giants like Apple, Google, and even Airbnb. How is that reflected in the course?
David Lee: We analyzed the UI design choices of these leading companies,identifying patterns and trends that contribute to their success. The course draws upon these insights, guiding students towards creating interfaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional and user-friendly.
Sarah Jenkins: Design Compass is known for its practical, hands-on approach. How does LV5 incorporate that philosophy?
David Lee: Throughout the course, students actively participate by designing their own UIs for each component. They receive personalized feedback from instructors, which is invaluable for refining their skills and building confidence.
Sarah Jenkins: what’s next for the Design Compass UI design course? Any hints about future developments?
David Lee: We’re committed to continually evolving our curriculum to meet the ever-changing needs of the industry.
