Want to be a good UI designers in addition to should have certain aesthetic ability, to know more about the entire product development process, because of the current domestic software industry hasn’t due attention degree for UI design, so to our demands are higher, you need to be able to make eye-catching things, standing in the Angle of the users fully understand their needs and habits, Because there is only one or several UI designers in general software companies, they are all alone, and they often encounter inexperienced TEAM leaders who do not know how to coordinate the work of you and other TEAM members. Therefore, you should fully communicate with TEAM members to obtain the basic information needed in the design. You should be patient and have a good temper. Tools for interface design include PHOTOSHOP, AI, FH, CD, C4D, (at least one), Dearweaver, FLASH HEML; Programming should be able to synchronize with programmers, understand ASP JSP and other software development language, as well as development environment, server type; You should also be able to tolerate loneliness. During the long development process, your work may only be at the beginning of the project, and there may be a lot of space time at the end of the project, which is a good choice to learn and recharge.
In fact, learning UI design is a relatively long and boring stage, there are really a lot of things to learn, if you lack the patience to draw this knowledge you can not learn, in the process of learning xiaobian to remind you to pay attention to the following points:
First, always keep learning state and learning initiative.
There are many opportunities to learn. Whether it is in life, you can make a friend, watch a movie, read a book, browse a website, watch an advertisement. There are hidden opportunities to learn, not necessarily specific skills, but at least some spirit and professional inspiration.
Second, we must keep practicing!
In my eyes, design and programming are skills that need to be practiced by hands, and it is not enough to just read a book full of theories. Design Basics: You can practice drawing in a planned way to improve your painting skills. I think it’s good for design, including UI design. Starting from copying, you can first copy some examples on the textbook, the existing excellent interface, the works of excellent designers; On this basis, from time to time can add their own ideas and feelings, do some original. In a word, “tune from hand to hand” to adhere to practice, more hands, will get a lot of experience!
Third, basic theory and basic skills can not be ignored
Many designs have their own norms and knowledge points, which you can look for their own books, all kinds of design professional books can be specific from the composition; Typography, color, graphics and other aspects of the start to understand some basic knowledge. Then learn common UI design software, Adobe series of PS AI is commonly used, if interested in the WEB can also play with Flash, Dreamweaver or even HTML5 and so on
Fourth, early creation suggestions from continuous imitation start
How to student number UI design? In the beginning of learning, most people are constantly imitate learning, practice makes perfect, through continuous accumulation, eventually you will learn the essence of UI, of course, your imitation object should have standard, to choose those classic works.
Fifth, more insight into other people’s work, read more, think more
The Internet is a rapidly changing industry, we suggest that the college, in the future interface design work, do not blindly follow the trend, to know that design needs a period of precipitation to reach a new height. Look into other people’s work, read and think, and you will become a good UI interaction designer.
Write more, also more messy, but I am in the process of learning some summary, but also learn to give the new entry of the friends should come to some help, less take some detachs, finally wish you have something to learn, can smoothly find the UI designer’s job.
