Designer Stream: Mobile and Web Design Courses
The Designer Stream in the Web & Mobile App Design & Development (WMDD) Post-Degree Diploma at Langara College offers comprehensive web design courses tailored for those who aim to master digital design for both web and mobile platforms. Unlike the Development Stream, which focuses on programming, the Designer Stream emphasizes user-centered design, user experience, visual communication, and user interface best practices, equipping students with the skills needed to create user-friendly and accessible digital products.
No prior experience is necessary to start. The program covers everything from foundational graphic design and web design fundamentals to advanced techniques in typography, multimedia production, and 3D prototyping.
The program provides access to industry-standard applications, which include essential tools like Figma, Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Illustrator from Adobe Creative Cloud, for mastering graphic and user interface design. By the end of these web design classes, students will be industry-ready, capable of producing high-quality work and keeping up with the rapidly changing tech landscape.
