Design a mobile app  設計一款手機應用程式

In this course, you will design wireframes and prototypes for a mobile app.
在這門課程中，你將學習設計行動應用程式的線框圖與原型。
Learners who have been taking the courses of this certificate program in order already selected a project prompt in the previous course of the program and will continue to develop that design project in this course.
已經依序修習此證書課程的學習者，於前一門課程中已選定專案題目，並將在本課程中持續發展該設計專案。
However, if this is your first course of the program, you have two ways to select a project prompt: using a prompt generator or building from starter materials.
不過，如果這是你在這個課程中的第一堂課，你可以透過兩種方式來選擇專案題目：使用提示生成器，或是從起始材料開始製作。
More information on each option is below.
以下是每個選項的詳細資訊。

Choose a prompt using Sharpen
使用 Sharpen 選擇一個提示詞

Sharpen is an online tool that creates randomized design prompts.
Sharpen 是一款線上工具，能夠生成隨機設計靈感。
Using a design prompt is a great way for up-and-coming designers, like you, to get started in the field.
使用設計提示是新進設計師像你開始進入這個領域的絕佳方法。
Why?  為什麼會這樣？
Well, the prompt you select for the project in this course is similar in style to the prompts you'll be asked in real job interviews!
好的，你在這門課程中為專案選擇的提示，風格和你在真實工作面試中會遇到的提示很相似！

For this project in the Google UX Design Certificate, you can choose from a custom list of tens of thousands of unique prompts on Sharpen.
在這個 Google UX 設計證書的專案中，你可以從 Sharpen 提供的數萬個獨特提示中，自訂並選擇適合的內容。
Your first project will focus on designing a mobile app, and the prompt generator provides lots of ideas to choose from.
你的第一個專案將會聚焦於設計一款行動應用程式，提示產生器提供了許多創意供你挑選。
 

Check out the Google UX Design Certificate - Project 1 prompt generator. You can click the “New Challenge” button to generate project prompts, and refresh the prompt as many times as you want to find one that gets your creative energy flowing!
快來試試 Google UX 設計證書的專案 1 提示生成器吧！只要點擊「新挑戰」按鈕，就能產生專案提示，還能隨時刷新，直到找到激發你創意靈感的那個提示！
When you find a prompt that you like, take a screenshot or write it down, so that you can submit your choice of project prompt in an upcoming quiz.
當你找到喜歡的提示時，請截圖或記下來，方便你在即將到來的小考中提交所選的專案提示。

If you already have an idea for a design project in mind, you will have the opportunity to work on the project of your choice in Course 7 of the certificate program.
如果你已經有一個設計專案的想法，你將有機會在證書課程的第 7 課中，進行你選擇的專案。
For this first project, please use a prompt from Sharpen to ensure your project has an appropriate scope and aligns with the course materials presented.
在這個第一個專案中，請使用 Sharpen 提供的提示，確保您的專案範圍合適，並且與課程內容保持一致。

After you select a project prompt, you need to catch up with where learners in the certificate program are at in the design process.
選擇專案提示後，您需要了解證書課程中學習者在設計過程中的目前進度。
Since this is the third course of the certificate program, you have a lot of ground to cover!
由於這是證書課程的第三門課程，你還有很多內容需要掌握！
You need to conduct user interviews, develop personas, create user stories, and develop user journey maps before proceeding with this course.
在開始這個課程之前，你需要進行用戶訪談、建立人物誌、撰寫用戶故事，並繪製用戶旅程地圖。
If any of these topics are unfamiliar to you, please complete the first two courses of the certificate program, which are linked at the start of this reading.
如果您對這些主題感到陌生，請先完成證書課程中開頭連結的前兩門課程。

Build from starter materials 
從起始資源開始建構

Alternatively, if you’d like to complete only this course of the certificate program, you can utilize prepared starter materials.
或者，如果您只想完成這個證書課程中的單一課程，您可以使用已準備好的入門材料。
 The starter materials consist of designs that the Google team has created, in alignment with the activities from previous courses of the certificate program.
起始材料包括 Google 團隊所設計的內容，這些設計與證書課程中先前課程的活動相符。
 In other words, you can complete this course based on an example persona, user story, and user journey map, if you don't want to create your own portfolio project.
換句話說，如果你不想自行創建作品集專案，也可以依照範例人物、使用者故事和使用者旅程地圖來完成這個課程。
To get started, follow the link to the Course 3 starter materials.
開始學習前，請點擊連結查看課程 3 的入門資料。

If you build your project in this course from the starter materials provided, you will not be able to include the designs in your professional portfolio.
如果你在這門課程中使用提供的起始材料來完成專案，這些設計將無法用於你的專業作品集。
Utilizing the starter materials is helpful if you only want to learn the concepts taught in this course: sketching storyboards, creating paper and digital wireframes, and developing paper and digital prototypes in Figma.
如果您只想學習本課程中教授的概念，例如繪製故事板、製作紙本與數位線框圖，以及在 Figma 中開發紙本與數位原型，使用這些起始材料會非常有幫助。

No matter which way you decide to design a mobile app, we're excited to have you along for the journey of this course.
不管你選擇用什麼方式來設計行動應用程式，我們都很高興你能一同參與這個課程的旅程。
Go ahead and get started!
盡情開始吧！
