Together with the wonderful Penpot team, I’ve been working on this for a while! We’re bringing together:
Practical design principles that have helped me throughout my career
Hands-on demos showing you how to build professional materials step-by-step
(Optional) assignments so you can get creative and build up your portfolio
Loads of tips and tricks for making the most of Penpot
The course is for anyone who wants to learn more about UI design, whether you’re a designer starting out, or a developer who wants to know more about design. It includes around 10 hours of video tutorials (including captions + full transcripts.)
And we’d love to get your feedback! We want to make sure we’re producing a course that you find helpful and accessible. What do you think of the different video formats? Are the topics and assignments informative to you? What topics or assignments would you like me to cover?
I strongly believe this course will be extremely successful because it will highly accessible and widely used for many years. We needed something like this.
If you’re a Design school or teach UX/UI design and would like to repurpose this course’s material, reach out! We’ll be happy to make all this content super easy for you!
Hello, Penpot community & team! alright, @LauraKalbag This is my quick feedback. I just finished WATCHING the course today, and I really appreciate the work and effort in putting this course together. The pros for me are the pace and calm voice of the course presenter; it’s perfect. I like that the course is in short episodes (1-3 min), and also the hands-on practical lab design isn’t too lengthy, just within a fair timing of 15-20 min. I love the presenter’s teaching style. However, the cons… I had a poor experience with the media player; there was no next button or auto-continue play to the next episode on the media player, and I had to continually escape the full-screen mode to be able to access the next button.
Final remark: great job, @LauraKalbag and team Penpot!
I’m Brainer, a digital UX/UI product designer with over a decade of experience, and I’m absolutely thrilled to join the Penpot community! I’m here not just as a new member, but as a passionate advocate ready to contribute and help grow the Penpot ecosystem. My goal is to help drive Penpot to become the number one UI design tool, not just an alternative.
What I’ll Be Doing:
In the coming weeks, I’ll be launching a weekly teaching and video podcast series titled #MadeWithPenpot. I’m setting up a new YouTube channel specifically to promote the Penpot ecosystem and champion the design-to-code workflow with Penpot.
Kicking Things Off: My Portfolio Redesign
This week, I’m starting by redesigning my old personal portfolio (http://victorabang.dx.am/) entirely in Penpot. I’ll be sharing a step-by-step video studio recording of this redesign, walking you through my process and workflow. Plus, I’ll be exploring the design-to-code capabilities using the Locofy AI plugin—so you can see it all in action!
Contributing to Learning:
@diacritica@LauraKalbag , I’m currently building an LMS for our tech school (https://pspanalytics.com/). I’d love to repurpose Penpot course material and create a masterclass to be hosted within our LMS, helping even more people master Penpot.
If you’re as excited about the future of Penpot as I am, please hit that heart button! Let’s build something amazing together.
