Build job-ready UI skills with a free Figma course: design a mobile gaming app, learn responsive UX for portrait/landscape, and earn a certificate.

In this free course, learn about

  • Create a video game app UI in Figma: frames, components, layouts, and prototyping
  • Apply UX principles for streaming apps: hierarchy, clarity, and touch-target ergonomics
  • Design responsive layouts for portrait vs landscape orientations on mobile
  • Understand landscape mode purpose in streaming: optimize video playback and immersion
  • Plan UI behavior on rotation: reposition, resize, or hide nonessential controls
  • Use full-screen playback patterns and overlay controls that appear/disappear in landscape
  • Ensure continuity on rotation: preserve state, minimize disruption, and avoid jarring reflows
  • Consider safe areas and aspect ratios so video and controls render correctly across devices

Course Description

Step into UX and UI design by learning Figma from the ground up and creating a polished mobile experience you can be proud to share. This beginner-friendly course is built for anyone who wants to move from curiosity to real capability, guiding you through the essentials of designing an app interface in Figma while developing the design thinking that makes products feel intuitive.

Instead of getting stuck in theory, you will practice by designing a video game app screen-by-screen, learning how to shape layouts, choose components, and keep visual decisions consistent. Along the way, you will start working the way modern product teams work: making deliberate choices, iterating quickly, and keeping the user’s goal at the center of every screen.

A key focus is how great interfaces adapt across contexts, especially when a user rotates a phone from portrait to landscape. You will explore what changes in a streaming-style mobile experience when the viewing mode shifts, why landscape often supports distraction-free consumption, and how UI elements should respond without disrupting the flow. You will learn to think about hierarchy, spacing, readability, and controls so the experience remains clear and usable in both orientations.

By the end, you will not only feel comfortable inside Figma, but you will also understand core responsive UX habits that translate to real projects. Whether you are preparing a first portfolio piece, switching careers into digital design, or adding practical UI skills to your toolkit, this free course helps you build confidence through hands-on creation and user-focused problem solving.
