Excited to have completed the Design Composition Certification from Uxcel. One key takeaway that stood out: negative space is powerful. Strong composition enhances usability, readability, and user experience. Grateful for this insightful course!
Uxcel is the best UX learning experience I’ve had! I’ve tried many platforms, but Uxcel is on another level. I love its digestible lessons, real-world guidance, and short quizzes that reinforce learning. And all of this comes at an extremely fair price!
If you consistently follow Uxcel's recommendations (and do all including design briefs), you'll undoubtedly experience significant growth as a designer.
