The importance of the designer

In the era of backward industrial technology, many people will feel that design is the product of the goods, there is no existence is the same. From the era of unified slogan across to the modern, personalized culture is not everyone accepted the , even in some ordinary products, the design instead let the viewer disgusted, think too ostentatious, there is the suspicion of pretending.

Smartphones make the status of virtual products more and more prominent, and application highlights the link of product design. Design is no longer dispensable, more often it becomes the protagonist. When people discuss an application, they often feel that its user experience is good, the interaction is perfect, and the design is very strong. Wait, do we all know these nouns? Does the programmer who is responsible for product development have a preliminary concept of these requirements?

The first section of the Hack design class introduces the status of design in product development, while many founders of startups are also excellent designers.

Interactive designers focus on electronic products and interactive software design, such as Web applications, mobile applications, and operating systems. Graphic design pursuits are discovered, and interactive design helps people experience or manipulate software, or interact with interface based hardware. Interactive design includes user interface design (UI), User experience Design (UX).

UI Design is a design that relates to user experience and interaction, with the goal of making user interaction as simple and efficient as possible. The good UI emphasizes the goal and completes the task, besides enhances the user goal, it does not steal, disperses the user attention.

UX design combines psychology, anthropology, sociology, computer science, graphic design, industrial design and cognitive science, and UX is designed to achieve seamless, simple, and effective interaction between users and products.

For example, clear. Ifanrank the best application of the year is precisely because it pursues minimalism in UI design, ensuring the purpose of the application, while full gesture operation enables perfect interaction between users and products.

Technology companies have long been composed of a senior executive and an engineer, such as Facebook, Microsoft and Apple. Now these companies have excellent designers, no designers, they can not afford to lose. The Up-and-coming start-ups are not as successful as the winning designs, such as Push Pop Press, Path, Airbnb. And their founders have designers.

Joe Gebbia, who worked in Chronicle books before creating Airbnb, created a green design website and developed several user products. He hopes to achieve a relaxed user experience through intuitive design. The previous role of Path CEO and co-founder Dave Morin on Facebook was the head of the product, market and strategy. Push Pop Press was recently acquired by Facebook, co-founder Mike Matas, a user interaction designer, who worked on Apple's design work before.

If your team is just starting out, you can not afford to hire a professional design team, you may also learn by yourself, Hack design is designed to help programmers learn, but I think its curriculum is also suitable for our picky users to learn, when we face the product "pick", it can be said well.
