Everyone has their own standards of beauty, and all walks of life in society have their own standards of judgment. A lot of newbies to UI start out worrying that they don’t have enough aesthetic skills, interface design skills, and even basic elements. So, how can we improve our interface design ability so that we can improve our design level?

​

First, a large number of pictures, improve the ability to appreciate

At ordinary times something is ok, must look at the picture more, improve their appreciation. A good designer has seen tens of thousands of pictures. To look at a large number of pictures is not to glance at them, but to look at them with thinking. When looking at pictures, I should learn to analyze what elements are used in the whole picture and what creative ideas and techniques are used by the designer. If IT is me, can I do this or have new ideas to explore? In addition, we should always review their previous works, compared with the current works, to see whether their design level has improved.

Second, imitation and innovation

By “imitation”, I don’t mean to copy everything, but to imitate the essence of the interface, analyze the structure of the screen, the color scheme, and think about why they are combined the way they are. If you want to improve your interface design skills, you also need to redesign your theme. Put aside the inherent style, elements, in the case of keeping the theme unchanged, we can re-create the design, excellent points we can transform into our own works, and add our own creative elements.

Iii. Professional ability and knowledge development

If aesthetic ability is soft power for a good UI designer, then professional ability is hard power. Even a small business card design, but also contains your aesthetic, typesetting, creativity and other awareness, is also a test of professional skills. When your design to do more and more, more and more handy when you need to digest what used to be scattered, combined into a whole, should not only have global processing, also should have the processing power of local details, you need to through continuous learning to improve their professional skills, create value for themselves, to improve its market competitiveness. At the same time, the accumulation and expansion of knowledge outside design, such as social communication, psychological analysis, negotiation skills, etc. Because in the actual work, UI designers not only need to understand the needs of the customer, but also analyze the project as a whole, not only to let the customer recognize your professionalism, but also to let the customer recognize you as a person.

If you want to improve your interface design skills, you need to keep your feet on the ground and keep practicing. Read more excellent design works, more copy more study. Improve their professional ability, so that they do interface design more handy.
