What is ui?

What exactly is UI? UI design is the abbreviation of English user interface, and translated into Chinese is user interface design. Generally speaking, what you see on your mobile phone basically belongs to UI design, such as APP mobile phone icons, interfaces, WeChat open pages, dynamic effects, interactions and so on. In the era of mobile internet, no one can live without your mobile phone, so UI design is becoming more and more popular!

So the UI designer is the person who designs the user interface. When the face value is contemporary, the level of UI designers directly determines the face value of Internet products, such as websites, apps and e-commerce. Regardless of the quality of the product, the first scene for users to contact the product is the face of the UI designer. For users with higher and higher visual requirements, if the product value is not enough, they will face closure and unloading.

What should I learn in UI interface design? Graphic design, WEB design, hand-drawn design, user interface design, product actual combat design, web front-end development.

As far as the average technology of UI designers is concerned, there are basically the following four kinds of software. Knowing these four basic UI design techniques is not a big problem. However, a few companies only have these four kinds. PS AI is mainly used for interface, AE for dynamic effect and ARP for interactive prototype.

Ps: It is best to use the latest version of the software. I saw some screenshots of exercises sent to me by some people, and I couldn't bear to look straight at them. The new software has more functions and is more convenient to operate. It is recommended to use new software.

Adobe photoshop

More than 90% UI designers know PS, which is the most used software in UI design. Its main purpose in UI design is to draw interfaces and icons.

Ps design works

Adobe Illustrator (artificial intelligence)

Ai is a well-known vector drawing software, which is very suitable for icon or graphic design. No matter how big or small the vector diagram is, it will not be deformed. This is the advantage of ai, which is very suitable for flattening. The disadvantage is that ai can't cut the graph and doesn't handle the virtualized icons very well.

Artificial intelligence design works

Sequela (ae)

Suitable for institutions engaged in design and video special effects, including TV stations, animation production companies, personal post-production studios, multimedia studios, etc. It belongs to the later software of layer type. But in the UI industry, it is to do some UI interaction. Dynamic effect is the most efficient software, but AE can't be used as an interface. This AE is not good at it.

Ae design works

Axure rp

Axure RP is a professional rapid prototyping tool. Enable experts who are responsible for defining requirements and specifications, designing functions and interfaces to quickly create wireframes, flowcharts, prototypes and specification documents of application software or websites. As a professional prototype design tool, it can quickly and efficiently create prototypes and support multi-person collaborative design and version control management.

High fidelity renderings

sketch

Sketch design works

The initial impression of this software may be just small enough and convenient enough. But if you use it more, you will find that its best feature is not that it has more functions than PS, but the operation and interaction mode designed for UI, which is very efficient to use.

PS can't do the best design for UI designers, because it has to consider the use of photographers. The operation/interaction mode of the basic tools of PS has never been specially designed for UI. That's how the sketch won.

Tool mastery

As expected, none of these UX tools stand out. Most companies do not require job seekers to have certain software knowledge. Instead, they want designers to be familiar with any wireframe and prototyping tools.

The emergence of UI designers is a design change in the Internet age. More and more designers have joined this new profession. Some people value ta's high salary, while others see Ta's bright career prospects. What exactly is UI design? Many online answers are too professional or too dry to understand. I'll give you a straight answer today.

Don't think too much; As long as you read this article carefully, you will definitely have a comprehensive understanding of UI design.

First of all, what is "UI"?

UI design, the full name of user interface, means user interface design when translated into Chinese.

UI design can be divided into four UI designs according to users and interfaces.

They are mobile phone UI design, PC UI design, game UI design and other UI designs.

The first one: mobile UI design.

Mobile UI design, that is, mobile phone users, the interface refers to the mobile phone interface, which means that all interfaces on the mobile phone are mobile UI design.

For example, WeChat chat interface, QQ chat interface, mobile phone desktop and all icon interfaces seen on the mobile phone will react after clicking, which can be understood as mobile phone UI design.

The second type: PC-side UI design

PC-side UI design, that is, computer users, interface refers to the operating interface on the computer.

Computer version of QQ, WeChat, PS and other software as well as some buttons and icons on the webpage. All belong to PC-side UI design.

The third type: game UI design.

Game UI design, the user is also a game UI user, the interface refers to the interface in the game, and the scene characters in the game just have no UI.

The interface, login interface and personal equipment attribute interface in some games such as the glory of the king and League of Legends also belong to the game UI design.

The fourth type: other UIS.

For example, VR interface, AR interface, ATM interface, and some smart device interfaces, such as smart TV, in-vehicle system and so on. There are fewer users, but they are needed, and it may be very hot in the future, so it is possible to maintain the status quo.

You may not understand the professional explanation. Let me say it with examples!

UI is the abbreviation of user interface. UI design refers to the overall design of human-computer interaction, operation logic and beautiful interface of software.

Give a chestnut: the icon you see on the desktop, the interface of the APP. Why does each icon look like this? Why is WeChat like that? This is all designed by UI designers. You use WeChat to send friends and Taobao to buy things. This is how you interact with the APP. You achieve your goal by using the APP, which is called human-computer interaction.

What is UI?

English name: User's Interface is translated as: user interface. Now UI is everywhere, divided into mobile terminal and computer terminal. It can be said that everything you see on computer terminals and mobile terminals belongs to UI design.

I want to think about it. You only care about these issues when learning UI. I, I will give you a good answer.

1. How much can I earn as a UI designer?

Nowadays, many people are switching to be ui designers, because UI design ranks first in the average salary of the design industry, and those who have no work experience can get 7000+. After several years of training, they can become UI designers with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan (provided that they are hard-skilled).

2.2 Is there a future? UI design?

At present, the Internet is developing very rapidly, and both mobile terminals and computer terminals are developing rapidly. The development of these technologies is inseparable from technology development and UI design. Where there are Internet-related products, there is definitely a need for UI designers.

More than 90% enterprises, units and schools will use Internet technology to some extent, so UI designers can have great development space in many fields.

3. Is it easy for 3.UI designers to find jobs?

To learn UI design well, we all go to Internet companies, usually in first-and second-tier cities. If you don't want to go to a big city for development, you can also take private orders at home.

4. It's 4. UI design is easy to learn?

A person's growth is like a butterfly breaking its cocoon into a butterfly, and the pain is doomed. Did you learn well? I also know what to say. I only know that when I was a little white, I thought this thing was so difficult. When I became a great god, I thought it was quite simple.

5. how to learn?

UI needs to learn four softwares first: Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Axure RP 8 (abbreviated as PS, AI, AE and ARP). As long as you get what you can use at work, the software will pass.

Boolean operation, hand drawing and interaction design all have many points. There are two ways to learn, self-study and training. Let's talk about self-study first, and you can use online learning. But the deadline is very long, it is easy to give up, and the study is also very chaotic. But there is one advantage, free ~ no money. Suppose you can teach yourself UI design in six years, and after six years ~ (well, I can't see the scene after six years, so I can make up for it myself)

Then there is systematic training and learning. The term is 4 months. It will be much easier to have a teacher to take you and take a lot of detours. But I found that many people especially believe what others say.

For example: recommend employment (find you 200 jobs with a salary of 2,000 yuan) (study is your own business, and you will never learn if you don't study), pay after study (to put it bluntly, loan study, and interest alone will cost thousands), pay tuition after employment (to put it bluntly, loan attracts your attention), and four months will make you a great god (all training will not make you a great god, but great gods are all working). Let you earn more than 10,000 yuan a month for four months (I learned in the UI signboard market that if you don't have more than one year's design work experience, no company will give you more than 10,000 yuan, please pay attention to whether it is a foreskin company) and so on. . .

Try not to choose training institutions and offline education institutions that advertise crazily, not because their courses are of poor quality, but because their courses are extremely expensive. Although we say that you get what you pay for, we should understand why they are so expensive, because advertising is expensive. As long as it is a regular training institution, the course quality is the same.

For example:

It took 20,000 to learn UI for 0 foundation. After 4 months, the salary is 7,000.

0 foundation spent 50 thousand learning UI. After 4 months, salary: 7,000 yuan.

It took 3,000 to learn UI. After 4 months, salary: 7000.

In fact, the training mechanism is the same. With such a high price gap, you buy more advertising fees.

If you spend more than 20 thousand hard-earned money, study for four months, but don't study, and then suddenly something happens and you can't learn, or you can't learn after studying for four months, then you can't keep up with the next period, wasting water ~ ~ ~

6. Which training institution is better to choose?

I recommend Xing Shuai Education, because it has not been advertised or ranked by Baidu, so the price is very cheap, and it is also a formal training institution. The first phase is also four months, which can be followed up for three years. . . reliable

Summary: If you are looking for a job by studying UI design, the sooner the better, right?

A powerful word:

Every era will punish two kinds of people: those who wait and see and those who refuse to change!

Finally, I said-accept-use-account name can be added.

Me, oh

These years are a period of rapid development of the Internet, and the popularity of the Internet has spawned a large number of Internet companies. The state also strongly supports the internet plus. Traditional enterprises are facing transformation, and relying on the Internet will bring new development opportunities to enterprises. A large number of enterprises need to have their own products. Where there are products, there will be designers, which is the industry opportunity of UI design.

I will briefly talk about what ui is based on the ui design I saw in Hangzhou Huaxin.

With the development of mobile Internet, there are more and more mobile devices and corresponding mobile software. People need to design these, and the concept of ui design is born!

Ui design includes human-computer interaction, mobile interface design and so on!

The emergence of UI designers is a design change in the Internet age. More and more designers have joined this new profession. Some people value ta's high salary, while others see Ta's bright career prospects.

Ui refers to the overall design of human-computer interaction, operation logic and beautiful interface of software. It covers all aspects of our lives, such as posters, advertisements, Taobao pages and mobile phone software interfaces. If you want to learn UI, you can go to Zhong Hui Education. Zhonghui Education has done a good job in cultivating UI talents. Since the establishment of 14, it has focused on the cultivation of animation and game talents. I'll believe that when I see it. You can't just listen to some comments from sunspots. You can learn more about it at the base site and listen to your favorite courses. After all, Zhong Hui Education is responsible for the placement work, so you should choose the professional direction that suits you in the early stage.

1, graphic design, "shape" design of software products.

2. Interaction design mainly lies in the design of software operation flow, tree structure and operation specification. What a software product needs to do before coding is interaction design, interaction model and interaction specification.

3. User testing/research. The so-called "test" here aims to test the rationality of interactive design and the aesthetics of graphic design, mainly through the form of target user questionnaire to measure the rationality of UI design.

4. In-depth design work itself is also very important, such as PS, sketch, blue lagoon.
