Designer confession: I don't want to be a graphic artist from Dribbble.

For many designers in the internet industry, Dribbble has been a great place to explore and discover new design trends. To get the dribbble invitation code, for a designer is also a very glorious thing.

But a very serious fact is that some of the UI designs on Dribbble are now becoming more and more disconnected from product-based thinking and into a pure visual work.

At first there are a lot of aircraft on the dribbble, but most of the designers and demand side of the design of the inconsistent understanding, resulting in a designer's work can not be commercially available, but this design manuscript often contains a lot of designers on the product thinking, understanding.

But what does the dribbble on the top of the plane look like? It is often the designer who designs a page that looks cool.

What do these interfaces have in common? There are a number of buttons or plates that go beyond the page with a color projection, throughout the entire page of the Bezier curve. Of course, there are some big numbers. The most important point is that this interface is best to use a color, must be made into a card, and his color with a shallow background, plus the same color projection. This is basically OK.

Why is the button on the interface beyond the interface? Why do Bezier curves on a graph often have only one line and one click on the displayed value and never have a Y axis?

Want so much to do, be restrained by so many things, where there is innovation. Playing visual, you know?

Yes, I also admit that this comes out a lot of pages, concise, clean, the first impression is particularly good, but I also noticed that every time I see this interface, my focus is the page inside the various visual elements attracted, and when I slow God to want to delve into the actual operation of the page but found no way.

Think of Jjying in Anyway.fm said an allusion, in dribbble designers do the three big interface is calendar, weather and todolist. I think this statement can even be applied to more places.

The reason why design is different from art is that art is unrestrained. Then design in addition to good-looking, there are too many things worth thinking about. How to make a good design under limited conditions, so that the design to produce practical value is our thinking.

Give me a very simple example.

Here's an interface to keep. The top half is a fitness video, with the counters below, the overall progress bar, the music control, the action points, and the pause

I see this page from the visual speaking is very ordinary, OK, we come to simple dribbble.

I did it briefly and used the more popular elements mentioned above. In contrast, the first impression alone, it will be better than the screenshot above lot better it.

But this is an unqualified interface.

As a video-teaching page, the entire page is a variety of focus-grabbing elements. I come to this page is not to point to these buttons, see these progress bar, watching video to do the action is my core needs, the other elements of the honest to my weakening in the bottom of the good. I do not want to watch the video, the following flashing a multicolored light.

Spent such a large section of black dribbble on some of the aircraft manuscript, is not a black plane manuscript, Black is our vision as a visual designer can not grasp the balance between the practical and beautiful, and even clearly know this is not good, or to the visual plus function or chopping function, design for Dribbble.

Also know a lot of people who really "play the Vision"

Their practice has a study of font design, the composition of planar posters, there is a new vision of the exploration, there are illustrations of the form of expression techniques, there is a synthesis of understanding. But either way, you can see a lot of new things from their works, take a look at some of the works made by famous domestic designers Edisonwong7 this year.

From 3D to rendering posters, to photography, to calligraphy, to the expression of graphic language, UI design, Ai 3D font effect, the composition of graphic poster graphics, and then through fluid dynamics to convey visual language. Not only because he has been a top designer, but also because of his attitude towards design, it is a kind of love and constant pursuit of innovation and progress. As a top designer who has worked for so many years, you can also see him late at night sharing his new research on AI, or overnight just to adjust a rendering detail.

I think this kind of design love and delve into the attitude is worthy of our learning, have this attitude, I believe in order to produce more different vision, more design-driven cases. Instead of staying in a day to day homogenization design.

Finally, I also want to say that in fact dribbble itself as an international top design forum, there are many worthy of our learning design. And a lot of domestic design for dribbble designers, in fact, are quite a good designer. After all, every day to take out the time to think about the practice is not as easy to say, and a lot of people feel good about color. It's just that sometimes it's easy to be fooled by a few short successes and slow down the pace. Hope that in the future can also be more in the Dribbble,behance home to see the works of the people.
