The specific description is as follows:
The original meaning of "UI" is user interface, which is the abbreviation of English user and interface. Literally, it is two components: user and interface, but in fact it also includes the interaction between user and interface. Specifically, it also includes usability analysis, GUI (Graphical User Interface Design), user testing and so on.
A good UI design needs to make the software have personality and taste, make the operation of the software comfortable, simple and free, and fully reflect the positioning and characteristics of the software. Therefore, UI designers are not only engaged in fine arts painting, but also need to locate software users, use environment and use methods, and finally serve software users. What they are doing is scientific and artistic design, and all they need to complete is a process of constantly designing visual effects for users to satisfy them.
UI design can be divided into three categories from the work content, namely, research tools, research on the relationship between human and interface, and researchers. Accordingly, the functions of UI designers generally include three aspects:
One is graphic design, which is "art design" in the traditional sense. Of course, in fact, what they undertake is not the art work in a simple sense, but the product "shape" design of software products.
The second is interactive design, which mainly lies in designing the operation flow, tree structure and operation specification of the software. What a software product needs to do before coding is interaction design, interaction model and interaction specification.
The third is 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. Without this test and research, the quality of UI design can only be judged by the experience of designers or the aesthetics of leaders, which will bring great risks to enterprises.
