Many Xiaobai comrades who want to enter the ranks of UI design may just hear how high the salary of UI design is and are eager to move, but they do not understand the essence. They go to the Internet to seek answers, but because they cannot understand a series of professional terms And hit a wall! Then these questions ; Jade Education Nanchang UI Campus is here to give you the answers today! Let you quickly understand the UI design industry!
If we want to understand what UI design is, we must first know the original intention of UI design. The original intention must be known as user interface design, so we have to explore this aspect of work, that is to say, UI design is responsible for the product interface. work! Next, we will talk about UI design from three aspects, which is responsible for the work of product interface.
The UI designer in the development process is responsible for the design of the presentation layer. The stronger the product awareness, the higher the design level. A complete APP cannot be completed by UI designers independently. First, there will be a development process, which includes five parts of work and a team to complete it. Strategic layer: A project is first initiated by the boss, who will choose the project to be done from the perspective of the strategic layer. Tactical layer: The product manager receives the task for the first time. After the boss gives a rough strategic direction, the product manager must ensure that the product is basically available, such as how to deploy each function of the product. Their output is a requirements document. The scope of functionality to be implemented is usually documented in the documentation. Structural layer: When the process goes to the interaction designer, he will get the abstract requirements document, which needs to be refined and refined to an operable level by the interaction designer. Usually, they need to design the information architecture of the product, the operation process and the control layout of the page. In other words, the smooth use of this product is mainly the work of interaction design. Eventually they will output a document of the interactive prototype, listing the elements of the interface in the form of wireframes. Presentation layer: UI designers should design the wireframe provided by the interaction into an interface, which involves branding, user experience, etc. To ensure a good initial impression of users and leave a brand memory, the entire use process must have a pleasant operating experience. The output document is the mockup.
Technical layer: The final work is handed over to the development engineer. Real-life APP application is realized by writing code.
2. Technical properties
UI design is a comprehensive skill combining science and art. For example, the play button in an interface needs to consider its aesthetics and operation efficiency. Usually, there is a lot of scientific research hidden behind a seemingly simple button.
3. Design purpose The core purpose of UI design is to maximize business value. According to the example of "Don't Find a Designer for Cats": Design should not be too abstract, only you can understand it, and only pursuing artistic effect is not a good design, and more should be considered for the purpose of commercial value.
