Uitimes, Lemon website length: 璩 Kay

Uitimes and Lemon net webmaster: 璩 kay, Network name: Kay. Jiangsu Huaian People, industrial design professional origin. As a professional interface interaction designer already 7 years. Worked in Jinshan Software, France Telecom, is the mobile phone Big Head Interactive Design Center manager. 2005 founded the domestic well-known interface design website Uitimes, 1 years later private investment in the construction of lemon nets. July 7, 2007-The first Encyclopedia of Chinese Art and design online lemon line.

Blue ideal: Talk about Uitimes first. Uitimes online for 2 years now, what's the situation?

Kay: Well, it's been more than 2 years. Uitimes is a long, immature "fruit". The fruit has the value of eating, but it also has a feeling of bad taste. The place that Uitimes attracts net friend should be content. Very many original article design works to appreciate. And because I have been doing design for many years, I know more about what you want to see. But that was my first time to do the website, there are really a lot of unsatisfactory places. So, she is a character woman with no amorous feelings, compare "a".

Blue ideal: Oh, why do you think "a"? What's the problem or are you not satisfied with the place?

Kay: interactivity is weaker. The interaction is weak although can guarantee the individuality of the website content is distinct, but this is not writing personal blog. The distinctive content is indispensable, but should only occupy the part. There is also a weak sense of participation and reward. In addition to the comments, there is the release of the work. This model is the most existing art design site model, at most there is a forum. I think this model is mature, but not enough.

Blue Ideal: Is this your original idea of making a lemon net?

Kay: That's pretty much it. An upgrade to Uitimes.

Blue ideal: But why not continue to make Uitimes 2.0 and make a new lemon net? After all, Uitimes has been there for 2 years, and has a good reputation.

Kay: Well, this problem bothers me a lot of time, uitimes at that time the main definition in the interface design, the beginning of the creation is not ready to make a comprehensive class design community, is a love of their own career extended to the network with everyone to share resources behavior. But then I thought the web was amazing and wanted to try some new interactions and modes of operation. But this time the uitimes name is very limited. So I listened to a friend's advice, and pushed back a "art and design Encyclopedia lemon Net".

Blue ideal: it sounds like a fruit planting base, but it's easy to remember and special.

Kay: Haha, it's kind of. When I told my friends, a lot of people asked me the first words, "Do fruit trading?" "Fortunately the name can explain a lot of things."

Blue ideal: lemon net What is a simple website?

The slogan for Kay:uitimes is the design was power. This is a belief in the ability to design. Lemoons want to do is: about design. is trying to make a circle of artistic design. This includes everything you want to know about art and design.

Blue Ideal: ambition is not small, difficulty is not small. So you're trying to get an encyclopedia of this form of expression?

Kay: Yes, so this sentence is not written on the website, I do not know what to achieve. Encyclopedia is my summary of uitimes experience after an attempt. Wiki,blog,bbs is a product of different times, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, I want to do is to try to combine these several Web forms. Can make a comparison of the "new" product.

Blue Ideal: This project feels a certain degree of difficulty, it should be a quite complicated system. How did you design it? Lemon Encyclopedia relative to Baidu Encyclopedia, what is the difference or advantage of wikis?

Kay: It is very complicated, so I took a few steps, the current online lemon net is only the first stage. You can go to the Lemon Web blog and look at my list of schedules. This design was actually done 2 years ago. Soon after the uitimes was online, the problems that had emerged forced me to rethink the new changes. It's a little more complicated when you first start designing. But not the right program to cooperate with the team, has been dragged for a long time. The current encyclopedia or BBS or blog. All in the face of all the public. Mature encyclopedia advantage in extremely rich information. All inclusive, astronomical geography, ancient and modern everything. But that's not all I care about for designers. What the designer wants to know is what the works of the German master So-and-So, what is the new art show in the United States, and how does this texture effect work? Sort of. I would like to see the origins, development, and representation of this style, and I would also like to see a great deal of appreciation and interpretation of the work of these people, and I would like to make some comments on these works. This is not currently available on the wiki. Plainly, most of the encyclopedia is defined in the information on the floating layer of a subject, and the lack of attention to new things. They will not be included in the domestic a 20-year-old excellent designer works and introductions, its main crowd is not here, but the lemon encyclopedia can be done. For more professional entries, the lemon net is definitely more advantageous because most of the founders themselves are designers. Their sources of information and industry experience are strong advantages. For example, the explanation of "Egyptian blue" on the lemon Net, from the history of this color to its standard Egyptian, to the product application, to his chemical composition is very detailed, but also in English explanation. is a better example of the lemon Encyclopedia. Such an explanation, the Chinese network is basically no second home.

Blue Ideal: This explanation is really professional, but it is also very expensive to produce, how to ensure that such a more and more items, and the standard of lemon network evaluation?
