Diving In with InVision Studio (Udemy.com)

A guide to creating interactive digital prototypes with InVision Studio.

Created by: Justin Jones

Last updated June 2018

Our take

Based on the ratings of 904 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in June 2018. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a one hour, 16 lecture walk through InVision Studio, aimed at designers who already know Sketch or Figma and want to see how Studio handles screen design, components, and animated transitions. The syllabus spends most of its time on screen design and rapid prototyping, with only a couple of minutes each on collaboration and developer handoff. Justin Jones keeps it short and practical, and reviewers say his explanations are clear and easy to follow. It's a quick tour, not a deep manual, and the course never pretends otherwise.

The rating breakdown backs that up: 481 five star and 329 four star ratings out of 904, with only three one star ratings. The praise is consistent. Students with zero prototyping experience say they quickly learned the basics and built hi-fidelity prototypes, and people coming from other tools say it got them comfortable with most of the program fast. The complaints are just as consistent. Most four and three star reviews ask for more: masking, complex animation, button states, overlays, multi page projects. One reviewer also notes the videos show an older version of Studio, which makes the interface a bit confusing to follow along with.

Value depends on what's wanted. Reviewers describe it as simple, quick, and easy to understand, which is exactly right for a first hour with the tool. It is short and paid, and the June 2018 update date shows. Next to it on our Invision page sit a course pitched at UI designers and one specifically about animating Sketch files; if the gaps matter, those are the obvious next stops. Pick this one for a fast orientation, then move to one of those if the tool sticks.

Best forSketch or Figma users who want to see what InVision Studio does in an hour before committing to it.
Skip it ifYou want a step by step build of a full multi screen app, or coverage of masking, overlays, and button states.

Pros

  • Clear, quick explanations; a total beginner reports quickly learning to make hi-fidelity prototypes
  • Six sections in 60 minutes, most of it on screen design and prototyping rather than padding
  • Covers Sketch import plus a look at the collaboration and developer handoff tools
  • 810 of 904 ratings are four or five stars, with only three one star reviews

Cons

  • Last updated June 2018; one reviewer says the interface in the videos no longer matches Studio
  • Too shallow for many: no masking, complex animation, button states, overlays, or multi page projects
  • Only 2 minutes each on collaboration and developer tools, and Studio was Mac only when recorded
Great intro if you've used other prototyping tools before. If you are starting from scratch, you probably need a more in-depth course than this one
Grant Bowen, a student

Beginner to Studio, not to design: it assumes Sketch or Figma habits, and Studio ran on Mac only when this was recorded.

Justin is explaining the software well and I enjoyed it. Thank you ! The downsides are that the video is not showing an up-to-date version of InVision Studio, so it's a bit confusing. Also, it was a bit hard to understand where to start : I created an account on InVision but it took me some times to understand that I add to download the software -I thought it was all online. The course could show few extra features too : creating several pages, artboards to show bigger projects and explain deeper the possible interactions.

I've never done any sort of prototyping before and this course is super beginner-friendly. I was able to quickly learn the basics of invision studio and learn how to make hi-fidelity prototypes for applications that I'm building either for a personal project or for work.

By NAVEEN KUMAR S on 9/12/2019

Awesome Justin Jones. I just loved the teaching technique. Thank you for such a wonderful and clear course. Feedback, Guess you have also add few more details like how to create new artboard. Initially, I was lost totally to figure out in adding ArtBoard, then I got to know eventually. This is my personal feedback. Thanks again

By Hugo H. Pereira on 8/18/2019

Great base content to get someone up to speed quickly. Wouldve liked optional content that, for example, showed how to set up the whole transition effects between the three art boards. We can infer from what's taught trhough the course, but a step by step (even if sped up) would be nice for this early hand-holding stages of learning a new piece of software

By Hanna Galeska on 6/18/2019

I just finished this course. It covers the basic info one should have when starting with invision studio. The info was presented clearly and lightly and quickly. I would have a few questions to things that were just mentioned but were not explained at all, but then again this course is described as basic. I recommend to all invision studio newbies, its a very good (& free!!) starting point. :)

By Greg Zen on 4/23/2019

Great for beginners. Still worth the hour for people familiar with design tools as an intro to Studio. The instructor is very clear and easy to understand with a good pace. There were a few instances were keyboard shortcuts were used without mention but if you are following along with the included source documents instead of trying to create from scratch on your own, you should be just fine.

By Siya Deshmukh on 3/5/2019

Perfect for beginners. Clean and concise explanations that are exhibited through one project the whole time, which was very helpful. From shape designs to publishing the design, this was a very good start. Always on the client side of inVision, this quick course gave me a good understanding of what my developing and designing team usually goes through when creating a website i'm consulting on.

By Lora Steele-Hicks on 2/13/2019

Yes; this is a good match for me. I'm a graphic designer, and I use Adobe programs, so it's interesting to check this out. Update: After completing the course, I'm really excited to begin using InVision Studio because I'll be able to refer to this tutorial all along the way. It was informative, fun and concise. I'm not intimidated now that I have this reference gem in my pocket!

By Osman Mert on 1/23/2019

Hi there, this course is absolutely perfect for beginners thanks to Justin Jones. He tells every detail in a proper way and you feel you can do it ;) I think Justin should add a new lesson that include 10 exercises for app and web page because he is a good tutor to listen. thanks.

By Vladimir Minaev on 12/13/2018

Awesome teacher and awesome kickstart for all who wants to begin his journey into Studio and prototyping web pages and apps. This course and some UX/UI knowledges/skills/creativity will lead anybody into anything they want. Justin gave me background needed for getting all the Studio can offer now and will offer in future. Highly recommended over same timed official Invision videos.
