Learning objectives

• Create a digital mockup that accurately represents the design concept for your chosen product or service, ensuring that it includes key design elements such as colours, typography, and layout.
• Develop a presentation that documents the design process, explaining the decisions made, and summarising the outcome of your mockup.

• Critically analyse your research and chosen design elements, evaluating their aesthetic appeal and functionality.
• Assess how user interactions and experience are influenced by your design choices, making adjustments where necessary to align with the product or service goal.

• Identify key online design tools used for creating digital mockups (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma).
• List the steps involved in the mockup creation process, including selecting a product or service, sketching, researching, analysing aesthetics and functionality, and using digital tools to create the final mockup.

• Assess the effectiveness of your mockup by evaluating how well it visually communicates the intended design vision and product functionality.
• Reflect on user experience considerations, and evaluate how your design decisions (colour schemes, layouts) improve or detract from the final product.

• Choose a product or service to create a digital mockup for.
• Conduct online research to gather design inspiration and apply the chosen design tool (Adobe, Figma) to develop a mockup, paying attention to user experience, colour schemes, typography, and layout.

• Explain why digital mockups are essential for communicating design ideas and improving user experience.
• Describe how key design elements such as colour schemes, typography, and layout can impact the effectiveness of a mockup and influence user interaction.
