UI design refers to the overall design of software human-computer interaction, operation logic, interface aesthetics, collectively known as interface design. Interface design is not just art painting, he needs to locate the user, the use of the environment, the use of the way and for the end-user design, is a purely scientific art design. The standard for testing an interface is neither the opinion of the leader of a project development team nor the result of the voting of the project members, but the feeling of the end users. Therefore, interface design should be closely integrated with user research, and it is a process of continuously designing satisfactory visual effects for end-users.
What does a UI designer do?
The functions of UI designers are threefold:
One is graphic design, which is traditionally called "artwork". Of course, in fact, they undertake not simply the meaning of the work of art workers, but the software product product "appearance" design.
The second is interaction design, mainly in the design of the software operation process, tree structure, operation specification. A software product in the coding before the need to do is interaction design, and to establish the interaction model, interaction specification.
Third, user testing/research, here the so-called "test", the goal is to test the rationality of the interaction design and graphic design of the aesthetics, mainly through the form of a questionnaire to the target user to measure the rationality of the UI design. If there is no test research in this area, the good or bad of UI design can only be judged by the experience of designers or the leadership's aesthetics, which will bring great risk to the enterprise.
