A preliminary understanding of UI design

Just beginning to touch the UI design, presumably for any beginner will have a lot of confusion, how do I start to learn this new field, the following is just I share the superficial understanding of UI design and learning UI can use some of the better site, later with the depth of learning will continue to update, we can learn from each other exchange!

L Knowledge of the UI:

User Interface (UI), which includes three parts of the user, the interface, and the interaction between the user and the interface. UI design refers to the whole design of human-computer interaction, Operation logic and beautiful interface of software.

　　How do you look at UI design in this area?

The emergence of any industry will not be for no reason, the so-called need must be asked. In fact, it is the emergence of a market economy to compete for the need. Around 2000, the domestic UI design began to sprout, but then the UI equivalent to graphic design, the main focus on web design, and then with the popular flash, began to think of interactivity. By the year 2002, some companies have begun to focus on the importance of UI design, separating it from the software coding team and starting with graphic designers and interaction designers that specialize in software products. After 2004, with the development of mobile phones, computers and other scientific and technological products, UI design has gradually been elevated to another level of attention. Now the domestic UI, relatively mature, it has three branches:

1. Research interface-Graphic designer (GUI), including web design, software interface, mobile interface design, most of the current UI workers are engaged in this industry.
2. Interactive Designer, to do the whole project interaction process.
3. A user experience researcher who understands the user's needs as much as possible to make decisions about the overall experience of the project.

The above is only from the overall development process of the UI, the following is from the design aspect:

Whether the software or the app, in recent years, their interface design style has changed rapidly, from 3D, to the development of a flat, simple. The original objects are more test details, and today's flattening is more focused on color. Of course, I personally think this is an innovation in succession. Now more attention to the user's feelings, from the user's sense of the body, evaluation to maintain and improve the software, but also from the psychological level can be proven, they divide the interface into sensory (visual, tactile, auditory, etc.) and emotional two levels, today's software first use the interface to attract the user's eyeball, Because the development of technology related to the realization of almost the same function, so the interface design is certainly the key to the competition of similar products. At the same time from the user interface design of the three principles: the interface to the user's control, reduce the user's memory burden, maintain the consistency of the interface, that is, to conform to the user's mental model, to analyze is also a good revelation of this concept.

　　Understanding of excellent UI design:

Personally think that good UI design will make the software has a personality and soul, so that the software operation more simple and comfortable, the minimalist concept into the United States, so that users enjoy more.

In a nutshell, two words are simplified and enjoyed. First, the visual impact of the interface is very important so the first impression, will make users have the impulse to choose your software. The second is to use the simplest operation to achieve the most comprehensive functions, the design of the interface function keys to be concise and easy, convenient for users to get started quickly.

　　Some of the problems facing:

I think the biggest problem is the collaboration between the UI designer and the developer. How to mitigate? To understand each other's basic knowledge in their respective fields to facilitate communication
