How to learn UI design How to learn UI design?

Learning UI design can be self-taught or enrolled in a class, and it is recommended to enroll in a class for zero foundation or poor self-control.

1. About self-study.

Benefits of self-study:

1) You can exercise the habit of active learning and self-learning ability, and the learning time, progress and difficulty can be controlled independently;

2) Self-study can save a lot of expenses such as high tuition, transportation expenses, living expenses, etc., and reduce financial pressure.

Deficiencies of self-study:

1) Interpersonal occlusion, lack of interpersonal communication.

Opportunities for flow communication, difficulties encountered in learning may take a long time to solve, or even cannot be effectively solved;

2) It is difficult to systematically learn the knowledge system and experience skills of UI design, and it is easy to take many detours.

2. About class registration.

Benefits of enrolling in classes:

1) Follow the teacher's course, you will systematically learn the UI knowledge system, and master the UI design step by step, from shallow to deep;

2) If you encounter problems, you can consult teachers or classmates in time to avoid detours;

3) Homework can exercise hands-on ability, and virtual projects can exercise one's ability to communicate and cooperate with others.

Deficiencies in class registration:

1. Generally, you need to pay high tuition fees (tuition fees of more than 10,000 yuan are already very common), and you need a certain economic foundation.

2. It is necessary to screen reliable training institutions in many aspects, and some training courses regard profit as much more important than education itself, but the teaching quality is not satisfactory.

1. Painting: Learning hand-painting does not require everyone to reach the level of professional art students, but to let everyone learn to use hand-painting to express their works. Because the inspiration brought by software operation is far less agile than the quickness of thinking brought by hand drawing.

For every mature designer, good ideas and ideas must not come from the computer first, but from the book first, hand-drawn is the best way to express creativity and inspiration, develop the habit of hand-drawing and hand-drawing, which can further expand the designer's thinking, and quickly present your needs for graphics, sketches for rapid evolution, graphic attempts to compare, and then improve work efficiency.

2. Software: Software is an indispensable auxiliary tool for UI design, and the learning of tools is not much, but whether you can use tools to express your ideas, so that tools can be incarnated as left and right hands to assist you in completing the design. Choose one or two proficient operations for each type of design tool, and you can quickly get started when you encounter similar tools in your future work.

3. Design foundation: UI design is also design, so you must master the necessary basic knowledge of UI design in order to support future design work.

4. Web design, e-commerce design, and mobile design: learn the design specifications of web design, e-commerce design, and mobile design, and consciously cultivate your own design thinking. Infiltrate user experience, interaction design, and operation design into the learning process, and master skills in practice.

To learn UI design, you need to improve your design theory by reading professional design books and design works, and secondly, you need to master design tools, such as PS, AI and other tools. In the process of learning, it is necessary to copy a large number of excellent works of other designers, from simple to in-depth, think about the author's design concept and learn theoretical thinking when copying. The important thing for an excellent designer is to improve his judgment and aesthetics, and to master advanced design concepts.

1. If you don't have a foundation, find a school or institution to learn, because UI has some front-end knowledge that needs to be learned.

2. Professional technology is the foundation, but what can open the gap is the design creativity and interactive experience, so while learning the technology, constantly improve their creativity, aesthetics, experience, etc.

3. Look at more excellent works, and store these works in the computer, and you can also note the advantages and features, so that you can directly refer to them when you design.

4. Experience accumulation: You can get in touch with more UI content little by little by taking orders, because each list is a comprehensive improvement of technology, and you can also put excellent works into your resume.

Because UI design is based on art as a technology, the edges and corners of art, such as darkness or brightness, should be known.

Proficient in design skills, user interface design mainly includes graphic design, user experience design and application development. A UI designer first needs to have basic UI design skills, both to understand design and technology.

2. To start the study of UI design, you first need to learn design theory, mainly by reading professional design books and design works to improve your design.

UI designers first need to learn various software such as PS AI AE AXTURE, etc., and then need to have basic design aesthetics and specifications, and the rest is that the more experience you have, the more you will be.

UI design is also design, so it is necessary to master the necessary basic knowledge of UI design in order to support future design work.

See if you are suitable for learning, and then see if you can learn according to your own skills.

1. Improve your design theory through professional books.

2. Master the use of design tools.

3. It is necessary to copy a lot of designers' masterpieces.

If you are learning UI design from scratch, no one teaches you or your comprehension ability is relatively poor, you have never been in contact with design, and you are afraid that you will not be able to go to school, and you want to learn design as soon as possible, then it is recommended that you enroll in a class to learn.

If you enroll in a class, you can learn the complete course content knowledge and have teachers to teach, and you can learn to be employed if you study hard, if you feel that you have the talent and perseverance to design, you can challenge self-study, please see below.

Benefits of self-study:

1) If you learn UI on your own, you can save training costs and learn more freely.

1) You can exercise your self-learning ability and study without handing in homework.

Deficiencies of self-study:

1) Learning is lonely, lack of opportunities to communicate with classmates, and if you encounter problems in the process of learning, it may take a long time to solve them, and you may even ask others to answer them because the problems cannot be solved.

2) It is difficult to learn project design skills, design thinking, design techniques and design experience, etc., and cannot systematically learn comprehensive UI design skills, and there are many detours.

3) It takes a lot of time and energy, when can you learn well, you have to ask yourself to know, there is no teacher to comment on homework and works, I don't know how good my design is.

3) The UI skills that I learned by myself are relatively single and scattered, and it is difficult to find employment, because the general corporate recruiters are people who do not want to learn on their own, because the learning is not professional and comprehensive enough.

Deficiencies in class registration:

1) You need to pay the study and training fee and study is not so free, you have to hand in homework often!

Benefits of enrolling in classes:

1) You can follow the professional system courses, start from 0 basics, learn UI design technology step by step, from shallow to deep, and be able to learn professional UI design skills.

2) If you encounter any UI problems that you don't understand in the process of training and learning, you can ask the teacher or class group students to communicate with each other in time, which is easier to learn and does not need to take detours.

3) After signing up for the training course, you can learn with a group of motivated UI design students, and you will be more motivated and focused to learn, and you can enjoy employment guidance and recommended jobs after completing the course.

UI design is the overall design of the software's human-computer interaction, operation logic, and beautiful interface. A good UI design is not only to make the software personalized and tasteful, but also to make the operation of the software comfortable, simple and free, and fully reflect the positioning and characteristics of the software. You can go and see it, or you can recognize it. 、

First UI design the content of the study:

First of all, let's talk about the essential software, specifically: Photoshop, this is a necessary skill software for all designers, in the field of UI, we use more of the vector tool rectangular tool of PS software to do the interface.

Illustrator, a must-have software for designers, can easily draw icons, commercial illustrations, etc.

after effects this is a cross-acting effect. This is also very important, and in recent years, animation design has been very popular in the entire industry.

Cinema 4D I believe many students know this, 3D visual design software, mostly seen in e-commerce, the content in the UI interface, known as a designer who does not know C4D, is not a designer.

HTML5 designers also need to master some front-end knowledge, have the best thinking to better communicate with programmers, and you can better establish a folder structure when making visual drafts, which is convenient for later slicing online.

Axure RP prototyping software, this software is used for product prototyping, as a UI design is a must to learn.

There are also two key points: visual design, interaction design, product design, and user experience.

You will be able to use software instructions, skills are in place, but you need to master visual design, visual design is included, e-commerce industry content, app interface design specifications, including graphic design. These skills are directly useful at work.

Interaction design is now a must-have professional skill for UI designers, and most Internet companies want to find well-rounded UI designers.

Product design is to cultivate the product thinking of UI designers, and UI design without product thinking is called an artist by some companies.

Industry Outlook: The UI industry has a promising future for the industry.

New areas of future UI:

The field of future UI design is mainly reflected in holographic projection interactive technology, wearable devices, image enhancement technology, remote control, 3D printers, motion sensing technology, human-wearable medical equipment and driverless cars.

These industries are some new things, you can think about it, what is the medium for technology products to interact with people, of course, it is the screen, almost all Internet products interact with people, they are all screens, so the future UI designers will work in a wider field. It can be said that UI does not exist everywhere in life.

In addition to learning some basic operating software, such as PS AI AE AXURE, UI design also needs to learn such as color matching, typography, font design, three components, consumer psychology, communication, as well as mind mapping, prototype diagram, as well as interactive logic, specifications, tiling, understanding the program, user experience, and marketing content. A qualified UI designer should not only be a technician who can use tools, but also have the ability to control the progress of the entire project, be innovative and keep forward-looking in the industry.

First, first learn the knowledge of graphic design.

Second, learn UI design specifications.

Third, learn more about relevant design trends.

The UI design major is also one of the most popular majors in today's era, so if you are interested, of course, you can study it.

Proficient in sliding design skills, user interface design mainly includes graphic design, user experience design and application development. UI designers first need to have basic UI design skills, and Zen must understand both design, dust mitigation and technology.

If you are a zero-based person, it is best to apply to an institution, and it will be better to have a teacher to lead you to learn together; If you want to learn by yourself, here are a few recommended books: "Designers to Understand Psychology", "Design Books for Everyone to Read", "Principles of Color Design", "Principles of Plate Design", it is recommended to match ** to see the effect will be better, free information can be obtainedFree collection of materials

The main work content of UI design

UI design is divided into three categories in terms of work content, namely, research tools, and research on the relationship between people and interfaces. Researchers, correspondingly, the functions of UI designers generally include three aspects: First, graphic design.

They are not solely responsible for the work of art, but the product "shape" design of software products; The second is interaction design, mainly in the design of the software operation process, tree structure, operation specifications, etc., a software product needs to do before coding is interaction design, and establish the interaction model, interaction specifications; The third is user testing research. The so-called "test" here aims to test the rationality of the interaction design and the aesthetics of the graphic design, mainly by measuring the rationality of the UI design in the form of a questionnaire for target users.

The Internet industry is still one of the most popular industries, and after learning IT skills, you have the opportunity to enter Tencent, Alibaba, NetEase and other Internet companies with high salaries, and the development prospects are very good, and ordinary people can also learn.

If you want to learn systematically, you can investigate and compare popular schools with related majors, good schools have the ability to independently develop courses according to the needs of current enterprises, and it is recommended to conduct field trips and comparisons.

I wish you success in your studies, hopefully.
