UserInterface (user interface) for short. UI design refers to the software human-computer interaction, operation logic, the overall design of the interface aesthetics. Now more UI is actually GUI design. That is, the design of the graphical user interface, including software interface, cell phone application program interface, and other kinds of electronic devices can interact with the interface design. Different companies require different abilities for UI design positions, such as web companies mainly do some web interface design and interaction. Some companies also require the UI will be converted into sketches and then do landscaping, and then do the interaction and so on
UI design encompasses a lot of aspects of the web page also belongs to the UI, do software design also belongs to the UI, and so on, very broad, so do not be divided into such a detailed, and in the work of the work of the gradual search for their own direction, the development of their own hobbies. Select UI design depends on the work you choose, generally have a certain ability to operate the software, in the work of continuous accumulation. Suggest that you go to the domestic well-known design site, which has a lot of UI design works, many UI masters gathered in those places. The first two are the most important points that differentiate the UI design from the artwork.
The main work of UI designers is the need to deal with the relationship between the research page, people, the research interface and people.
Study page that is graphic design. But the design here is not just graphic design, it needs to locate the user, the use of the environment, the way of use and ultimately for the user design.
The study of the relationship between people and the interface, that is, interaction design. This lies mainly in the design of the software operation flow, tree structure, operation specification and so on. A software product before coding needs to do is interaction design, and establish interaction model, interaction specification.
The study of people, which is the most important work of UI designers. Any product needs to be tested in order to ensure quality, and software coding needs to be tested, so naturally UI design needs to be tested. This test has nothing to do with coding, but mainly tests the rationality of interaction design and the beauty of graphic design. UI design is mainly measured through a questionnaire for target users. When we develop a product, the most important thing is the user experience. No matter how good the product is, it is useless if it does not meet the needs of consumers. At the same time, if there is no test research in this area, the good or bad UI design can only rely on the experience of the designer or the leadership of the aesthetics to judge, which will bring great risk to the enterprise. So interface design should be closely integrated with user research, which is a process of continuously designing satisfactory visual effects for end users.
Summary of the above can be seen, UI designers will basically do what the artwork, and the artwork is likely not UI designers do. And this is the main reason why UI designers can get a high salary.UI design refers to: the human-computer interaction of the software, the logic of operation, the overall design of the interface aesthetics, also known as the interface design.UI design is divided into physical UI and virtual UI, the Internet said the UI design is a virtual UI, UI that UserInterface (user interface) for short.
The content of the work are:
1, according to the product demand, the overall art style of the product, interaction design, interface structure, operation flow, etc. to make the design;
2, responsible for a variety of interactive interfaces in the project, icons, logos, buttons, and other related elements of the design and production;
3, can actively communicate with the development, to promote the interface and interactive design. The final realization of the design.
4, responsible for software interface art design, creative work and production work.
5, according to a variety of related software user groups, put forward the conception of novel, highly attractive creative design.
6, optimize the page, make the user operation more humanized.
7, maintain the existing application products. When I was a simple p-illustrator, I refused to be called an artist! I told them that I was a designer, a designer who could add special effects in a duang. Suddenly one day, someone asked me what is UI, as a experience of the years sinking can write some code can P picture of the big beauty (at the moment I have not refused the name of beauty, because to do good-looking really not so simple) I told him that I am, but he did not believe that he felt that the UI designers should be a high and mighty, is the beauty need to look up to!
Back with the rise of a variety of UI training, a variety of aspiring young people such as the tide of this legendary rich and decent industry, however, the recruitment encountered a lot of training out of the children asked UI to do something do not know, so I'm ready to talk about this topic!
UI is the user interface (UserInterface) for short, refers to the user interface, so the UI design is to design a variety of user interfaces, the most common web pages, APP interface, software interface, smart watches, a variety of smart devices display interface, a simple and crude point of understanding is that the screen display of those interfaces actually belong to the UI design, many beginners! thought UI is to do APP drawing icons, this is completely wrong.
The following are the most common UI interface:
1, PC interface:
Common website pages, software interface (e-commerce is also counted as a web page, Taobao Jingdong and other e-commerce sites, is also based on a website platform, just this kind of thing is designed to be more in favor of the marketing side).
2, cell phone interface
Common cell phone theme, cell phone APP, cell phone station, H5 theme page or something.
3, smart wearable devices interface
Smart watches, bracelets and other display screen.
4, smart TV
5, IoT devices
In our daily life, we often have access to indoor machines, cash machines, ticket machines, call machines and so on.
The above is just a list of some of the common user interface, to see such a bunch of things, many want to learn UI children estimated to be scared, will certainly feel so many things to do ah, I can learn zero basis?
Don't worry, Chairman Mao taught us to see through the phenomenon to see the essence of the city set although deep, we can surround the city in the countryside. Since UI is the screen display of those interfaces, then the UI designer is to do these interface design, design things are similar, the most common way of working is to use PS to design the effect and then handed over to the program to achieve the function. Some training courses in order to highlight the high profile of this industry, the whole bunch of high profile vocabulary out: what GUI, AUI, WUI, MUI ... ... These are routines, in addition to adding inexplicable sense of professionalism to the students do not have any use, the real project, no one will go to give you a division of these things, at most, will be divided under the pc end of the mobile terminal, but ultimately it is all p picture. So beginners do not be these messy high vocabulary confused, first remember that they are a p map and first p map to learn to get started. Although there are many routes, but a simple understanding is to p a picture into a web page is web design, into an APP is APP design, into a poster is poster design.... All you need to know is what equipment this picture is used on, what is the screen resolution of the equipment, need to cut a few sets of pictures, know these and then go to do, in fact, is to do it on a different canvas. Of course, there will be a lot of people on the Internet said that they also need to learn interaction, dynamic effects, user experience, and so on. As a walk in the jianghu for many years the old driver, I can clearly say, since the name of the UI designer, then the essence of the work is still design, can do a good job of design in order to be based on the study of other interactive effects of UX code, etc. These are all to help you do a better job of design.
Additionally dreaming of being able to do an APP can get a high salary of children to pay attention to, in the first few years of the rise of smart phones do learn a few months to find a job and wages are not low, but now it has been very difficult, it is very simple, our cell phone loaded with so much APP, but really rely on an APP to fight the world of the Internet company you know how many? DDT, Meitu Xiu Xiu, Stranger... Familiar with the truth is not much, most of the commonly used APP is a platform foundation and then launched the mobile terminal, just do APP company a few years ago a lot, and now it is increasingly difficult to pull the investment, damned not damned are almost dead, not dead are also in the struggle, because in the case of APP flooding into the case of access to the user is more and more difficult to get users, there are users is more and more difficult to realize the cash, so rely on an APP is very difficult to support a large-scale company. So it is difficult to support a large-scale company with just an APP. And from the design, APP design relative to the web and e-commerce is the simplest, a lot of things are modular, do more you follow the rules to put together a good in fact, will not be ugly to where, because of the rules of the many picture limitations, so the space to play will not be as big as the other design.
On the drawing of icons, before many UI training to teach students to draw the fast fire into the devil, the results found that the work is not so much need to draw your icon, and do the work of the phone theme is even more unlikely to be able to find, because of this kind of work is only the Android cell phone manufacturers have, however, no cell phone manufacturers dare to give such an important design to a fledgling boy to do, unless you do not want to mix. But should you learn it? Of course you should, but the main purpose of learning this is to practice software operation and improve hand-drawing ability, not that you will be working in the future to draw this thing every day.
OK, said so much, I hope that beginners can first understand what UI to do and then go to decide to learn, do not dream of learning a few months will be able to get a high salary, the design is the need to build up, it is impossible to be able to get a quick success, a lot of quick success of the majority will only be operating the software and do not look good, in short, that is, it is not enough to reach many children's shoes despised by the level of artisan because to do good look is not really that simple! To look good must be skills and aesthetic ability to a certain level in order to do it. I hope that really want to engage in this industry partners can have a correct mindset to learn, do not be too impatient, must be more to see more learning and practicing can slowly do well. The work includes: commercial graphic design, advanced web design, mobile application interface design and some packaging design.
Interpretation of the so-called UI, is the abbreviation of UserInterface, meaning user interface.
Narrow DefinitionNarrowly speaking (that is, the industry's default), UI designers usually refer to visual designers engaged in the design of the interface of the PC (computer), mobile (tablet, cell phone).
Broadly speaking, all product design that interacts with users is UI design. (e.g. AMT ATMs, car steering wheels, TVs, etc.).
