Chinese web design has no characteristics

About the traditional festival 315 &http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; Showcase of Web Design in China:from imitation to innovation this interview, I saw a lot of the comments in the chicken blood of Chinese counterparts, there are two issues I would like to ask you to find out. First, the text cited in the article is not because of how good the work, but the most can convey the meaning of the text to express (specific what meaning oneself want); second, the interview of several designers can not fully represent the Chinese counterparts, web design is a technical work, at different levels have a deeper attainments of many.

Also think of paragraph tidbits, in answer to the "Chinese web Design What characteristics?" "When the problem, my brain with a fast search, anyway, I can't think of the Chinese web design features, just in line with a sentence" The biggest feature is no characteristics. "Because the Chinese web design is generally very rotten, rotten to a variety of, rotten wudu and taste, not to plagiarism as a disgrace, to learn from the proud, so can not be summed up." At the same time, it also shows that the current situation is immature, nothing praiseworthy.

This problem can be pulled back to November 2005, smelly fish summed up the "long, flash, squeeze, flower" four characters of the characteristics of a legendary, the people from all walks of life nod recognition. Fortunately, so far nearly 5 years, in addition to "long" as if longer, "flash, Squeeze, flower" have been a certain degree of improvement. Note that the original text is "Home page" features, rather than "site" features, a lot of reprint, reference, plagiarism accidentally put the title to omit, the homepage is just the façade of the site.

Chat to originally smashing Magazine prepared to write an Asian design, the result found that the topic is too big, can't go deep, then decided to China, Korea, Japan and several other countries independently. Indeed, although all belong to the whole Oriental culture system, but Chinese, Korean, Japanese three kinds of websites but the style is very different, especially Japanese and Korean websites have very distinct characteristics. For example, Korean websites commonly used bold color, flash animation and picture utilization is very high, hand-painted style everywhere. and the Japanese website is generally fresh and elegant, with Japanese culture peculiar "gray" feeling, occasionally using pixels and cartoon style.

Previously turned over a number of posts recommended "Chinese web site", summed up two features: animation glaring, elements piling up. The so-called animation, almost all works are flash completed, I see "show" the majority of the target rather than convey information. The so-called element piling up, almost all works to "Chinese style" of understanding all stay in some elements, such as calligraphy and painting, cinnabar seal, silk bamboo slips and so on. I wonder, does the style have to be done with this complicated graphic plus the dazzling interaction and a lot of loading? I think the "Chinese style" site should not be a few drops of ink, the whole few dragons so simple. Korean style website with obvious characteristics, it seems to have not seen on the page attempt to use "Laver rice, big long This" to performance, right?

The view of Web design is 95% typography that "web designs are all typography." "I understand that there are two layers of meaning in the original, one is the decisive factor of page effect, the other is almost completely negative the importance of visual design." Whether this conclusion is correct or not, I think it depends on the premise, if the narrow understanding of "web design" for information, typesetting accounted for 95% yes; if the user experience of "web design" is broadly considered, typesetting accounts for 95% of the wrong.

I have carefully studied the Web pages of different languages good works, found that really good design even if you remove the color, graphic decoration is not bad. If you put aside the visual performance, indeed typesetting mode is similar, the technique is nothing more than a few, such as alignment, white, gold division and so on. However, the results of the final presentation of the pages, but the "visual design" in the leading, as described in the Japanese, Korean website to my impression. To understand this problem, perhaps we can have a better idea when we innovate Chinese web design.

I think the breakthrough is still on the character of words. Originally very good English interface, translated into Chinese after the second-rate goods, is it really "Chinese" has the innate flaw in performance? Is the calligraphy art that our ancestors summed up thousands of years in the digital age completely unworkable? The view of Angela in the September 2006 English-Chinese web site design differences summed up the views:

In addition, because the applicable font, font size, glyph too little, the combination of the effect of a single, so it is easy to create a sense of the Web page level is not enough, lack of expressiveness. Three Pieces of detail:

Fonts, can be in the browser to display the normal number of Chinese fonts, when the definition of the system does not have fonts, browsers are in accordance with the default "song body" display. This disadvantage is fundamentally limited from the operating system and cannot be matched against the effects of English writing.

Font size, English most fonts from 8px to 22px have a good sense of beauty. In order to ensure the "founder" of the model, usually only use a double digit number, such as the most commonly used 12px and 14px (with no PX unit problem is not discussed here, a small number of 13px effect of the font), because the two font size looks the most natural, coordinated. The 16px,18px,20px is also OK, but 13px,17px similar singular font size, you can see the effect of the sawtooth and the sense of weightlessness.

Font style, English has italic effect, HTML and CSS have a dedicated statement to define. But the Chinese use italic effect is very unsatisfactory (Chinese font size is large enough italic effect will be better), perhaps some people at the time when the norms, completely did not consider the feelings of non-Roman writing country. For example, the reference items of academic papers, as if international regulations must be in italics.

August 2006 I discussed the Web page does not need to be beautiful this very controversial topic, so far, I am puzzled by the "Chinese" understanding, and the "Chinese" design. Every time I see Chinese being mixed (mix and Match) to the European and American style template, the Japanese-Korean style template website, will reconsider this issue. Chinese is the soul of web design in China, I think the truth should be so.

Having said so many questions and not, is there no solution? The answer is there is a way. Chinese web designers have been trying for nearly a decade and have accumulated many lessons. The recent international Standards Organization of the environment, coupled with the revolutionary progress of "Microsoft Ya Hei" font, as well as the importance of local companies, I believe that Chinese web design will gradually and truly form their own characteristics.
