– $499–$699 depending on sales. That's reasonable for a professional course but expensive for a hobbyist. (Sales happen every 2-3 months.)
— more UI depth than Google, more structure than Udemy, more affordable than Shift Nudge.
The core principles of UI design (spacing, contrast, hierarchy, affordance) do not expire. The 2021 update is still 95% relevant today because we are still using Figma, still designing for mobile/responsive web, and still following the same human psychology.
Prior to 2021, the course was beginning to show its age regarding software. The 2021 update addressed three critical areas:
Many beginner courses treat user interface creation as a subjective talent, but Erik Kennedy teaches UI as an objective system of repeatable rules. Kennedy’s software engineering background ensures lessons translate abstract beauty into logical variables.
This module acts as the foundation of the entire course. Erik teaches you how to control where a user looks first, second, and third. You will learn the tactical rules of spacing, margins, and alignment. Instead of guessing how much white space to leave, you are given systematic layout spacing scales (like the 8pt grid) that remove all guesswork. 2. Color (The "Color Intellectual" Framework)
The original course relied heavily on Sketch. The 2021 update is fully migrated to Figma. It includes advanced walkthroughs on Auto Layout, Variants, and Component Properties—features that didn't exist in a stable form during the original filming.
