Interactive Designer is an emerging industry, generally only some large companies will set up this department, most of the planning, art, the front-end in part-time.
As a new industry from the programmer and GUI, it has its own shortcomings, the norms are not much, low threshold (planning also has its same embarrassment, everyone can do the planning, but not everyone can do the program or art). and the full-time interaction designers are not enough years, resulting in the industry's overall salary is generally lower than the programmer and GUI.
Of course, this situation is only temporary, with the gradual improvement of the standard, the industry more and more attention to user experience, the role of interaction designers will continue to improve. In the increasingly fierce competition in products, the emphasis on interaction, the user experience to focus on products will stand out.
PS: These years due to neglect of user experience, ignoring the interactive design, production of many only focus on product stability, the interface beautiful "industrial waste." In this case, the industry will re-examine the importance of interaction design.
PS: The entry time is not short, touched by a few companies will occur in almost all of the following:
1, do not attach importance to version progress, version of the program to add a variety of functional modules (including human and non-human factors), this product even on the line have problems, talk about how to interact?
2, attaches importance to the product on-line, but does not pay attention to the plan. Lead to the online version and design seriously inconsistent, weight problem serious. function changed beyond recognition, interaction? Pass。
3, emphasis on version planning, but there is no standardized management tools, SVN supervision, programmers upload code often modify other function module variables, resulting in the game crash. At the same time do not pay attention to QA testing process, resulting in frequent bugs after the line. Interaction? are busy resolving the program vulnerabilities.
4, attach importance to version plan, advanced management means, but lack of interactive design concept, only pay attention to the interface beautiful, the products are mostly Shanzhai goods. Interaction? How do you make it?
