UI design, as one of the popular and high-paying occupations, has a self-evident development prospect and a wide range of applications, from traditional computer web pages to the latest human-computer interaction interface in the AI field, all of which reflect its market value. However, this is still a new term in China. Only a few Internet companies have industry awareness and professional applications. At present, there are no colleges and universities for this major in China, so it is not easy to carry out this industry. So what do UI designers need to learn? Today, Wuhan Zhuoyi Design Xiaobian will talk to you about this topic and learn it together.
The predecessor of p>UI design is plane and web design. On the basis of the original major, some contents such as the logic of human-computer interaction, the application of controls, and the state design of components have been added. This is a new category extended by the refinement of Internet development, so the designed software application is the basic skill. You need to master design software such as Photoshop (image processing), illustrator (graphic production), After Effects (video processing), Axure (prototype design), Dreamweaver (web page production), Coreldraw (vector production), Flash (animation production) and the code basis of HTML5.1 and DIV+CSS web pages.
It is not enough to learn the application of all kinds of design software. At this time, you can't create independently. Because of the lack of creative performance skills, you need to master the skilled use of different hand-drawn tools such as pencils, watercolor pens, sketchbooks and hand-drawn boards. This part mainly focuses on the training and expression of design thinking, focusing on the study of design theory and composition skills, and learning to analyze the design principles and expression techniques of various icons.
Through the practice of the previous theories and tools, I basically have the basic ability of design, and then I need some complete cases for actual combat. It is necessary to learn to imitate excellent cases of various products, and to analyze their design points, and to introduce new and complete cases that make some innovations. It is necessary to master the design specifications, design processes, output and iteration methods of design drawings of different types of Internet products to ensure the continuous improvement of product user experience.
Although UI design is a popular major in recent years, the UI training in the market is relatively mature. For students who have no foundation, it is recommended to find a professional teacher to help them, so that the learning path of UI design will get twice the result with half the effort.
