××Q: Is there any difference between UI and plane?
Xiaobian asked: Why is UI worth more than graphic design?
First of all, what is the difference between flat and UI ?
Graphic design: also known as visual communication design, uses "vision" as a way of communication and expression, and creates and combines symbols, pictures and words in a variety of ways to make visual representations used to convey ideas. Designers generally use professional skills in typography, visual art, layout, computer software, etc. to achieve the purpose of the creative plan.
UI design: refers to the overall design of the software's human-computer interaction, operation logic, and beautiful interface. A good UI design not only makes the software personal and tasteful, but also makes the operation of the software comfortable, simple and free, fully reflecting the positioning and characteristics of the software.
Differences in design ideas: Graphic design advertising behavior is simply understood as a process of "creative output -> delivery channel -> target customer group". For example, a promotional page is not a product for consumers, but for advertising Basically, it's a product that helps it achieve its sales growth goal. As an app , it is a product in itself. We must carefully study the habits of users. Its user experience determines how long it will survive. This is a design idea that is completely different from the past, whether it is a pop-up window or a status bar. Is it pull-down to refresh or pull-up to refresh... There are endless possibilities between square inches, and what we call interaction is the essential difference between the two design ideas.
In terms of skill mastery, UI designers need to master more content than graphic designers, which is one of the reasons why their salary is higher than that of graphic designers. Talents are not divided into industries, so there is no distinction between high and low for talents. In terms of average salary, the main difference between UI and graphic design is their own characteristics and industry needs.
Graphic design has existed for a long time, and then with the development of the Internet, the demand for UI design will only increase;
especially information browsing is gradually developing towards mobile terminals and more advanced wearable devices such as VR, which are all based on mobile terminal systems. The development of its interface pays more attention to user experience and interface design, which shows the demand for UI design in the future.
Of course, before we choose a position, we should not only look at salary, but also look at industry trends; if we want to be a UI designer, we must understand graphic design, in addition to web front-end, UE interaction design , are essential skills for management.
