What does ui design study?

UI design is called User Interface in English, which means (user interface) in Chinese. UI design refers to the overall design of human-computer interaction, operation logic and beautiful interface of software.

Speaking of this interface design, it is actually very easy to understand, because we use it every day. The APP software in our mobile phone, the interface icon design of QQ and WeChat all belong to the work of UI designers.

In the era of mobile Internet, every student has a smart phone. Looking at the APP interface icon in the mobile phone, we can call it user interface, which is what I call UI design. Simply put, UI designers are responsible for designing these products displayed on electronic screens (including game UI, web pages, mobile phones, and currently popular VR, AR and other devices).

For example, the WeChat interface, as well as the icons, words and pictures in it, belong to the category that UI designers should design. So UI design has always existed in our lives!

UI design originated in Silicon Valley, and 20 12 was introduced to China from Silicon Valley. With the rise of the Internet industry and the popularity of smart phones, UI design has become out of control.

In recent years, UI design has flourished in China. At present, the average salary of UI designers in the domestic design industry is the highest, and the average salary of UI designers in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hangzhou exceeds 1 10,000. It is not difficult to see from the salary that the UI design industry is really hot in China at present.

The work that UI designers need to do includes: APP interface icon design, visual design, operational illustration design, interactive design, prototype design, graphic design, small program design and so on.

Good UI design not only makes the software personalized and tasteful, but also makes the operation of the software comfortable, simple and free, which fully embodies the positioning and characteristics of the software.

UI design is generally divided into four industries by industry.

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

The first one: mobile UI design.

So what is mobile UI design? The UI design of mobile phone is the design of APP on mobile phone tablet, such as WeChat chat interface, QQ chat interface, mobile phone desktop and all icon interfaces seen on mobile phone, which will react after clicking. We can all understand it as a mobile UI design.

So let's explain what a mobile UI designer does. The work of mobile UI designers is icons, text buttons and so on. Our application interface. This work is the work of our mobile UI designer. To do this job well, you need to learn a lot, such as understanding the theory, knowing what color to use, what font to use and what version to try. A seemingly simple design is often quite difficult, not as simple as it seems. Otherwise, the salary of UI designers would not be so high now.

The second type: PC-side UI design

PC UI design is the software and web buttons on our computer, such as QQ, WeChat, computer housekeeper and some button icons on the web page.

In fact, the design of mobile phone UI is similar to that of PC UI, but the platform is different. The PC is a computer and the mobile is a mobile phone.

The third kind of game UI design

So what is the game-side UI design? For example, the login interfaces in some games such as the glory of the king and League of Legends belong to the game UI design.

At present, the development of game UI design in recent years is not as good as before, mainly because big companies such as Tencent and Netease lead the game market, while others are small companies, so the development of this industry is not as good as before. Moreover, the game UI has higher requirements for art foundation.

This is a game-like interface. The buttons inside are all drawn by the game UI designer with a hand-drawn board. If you want to do this job, you must have an art foundation. Large companies also require a professional background, so this job is also tiring, so I suggest that those who do UI work can choose mobile UI design, because mobile UI design is still popular at present.

The fourth type: other UI design.

The last one is other UI designs, such as VR interface, AR interface and bank ATM interface, which belong to other UI designs. Other UI design users are few, but they need it. It may be very popular in the future and may maintain the status quo.

Today, the answer to what is UI design is here. I hope it will help you and your friends who want to learn UI design. I will share other UI design dry goods with you next time. Dear friends, I'll see you next time.
