Introduction to Software Interface Design

With the continuous development of science and technology, the mobile phone function is powerful, and the software based on the mobile phone system came into being. The Humanization of mobile phone design is not limited to the appearance of mobile phone hardware, the mobile phone software system has become the main body of users' direct operations and applications. It should be favored by users with beautiful, practical, and convenient operations. The standardization of user interface design is particularly important.

I. integrity and consistency of Interface Effects

The mobile phone software runs in the software environment of the mobile phone operating system. The interface design should be based on the overall style of the application platform, which is conducive to the integration of the product appearance.

1. Unified UI color and style with System Interface

The overall color of the software interface should be close to the overall color of the similar system interface. For example, the system color is mainly blue, and the default color of our software interface is the best match, if you use a different color, such as red or yellow lemon, a strong change in color will affect your mood, assume that you have bought a mobile phone that is satisfying in terms of appearance and system interface. During the operation, you suddenly find that the built-in application software is inconsistent with the system interface. What do you think? First, do our users still use the bad things? Therefore, we need to know that the appearance and system interface of the mobile phone are already customized by the mobile phone manufacturer according to the user's Aesthetic habits. It should have their aesthetic groups, if we want to make software for this mobile phone, we should effectively use the manufacturer's Aesthetic Characteristics Based on this phone to win users who love this phone, so that their affirmation and love of the system interface can be effectively transferred to our products. Of course, the system interface should be reasonably designed, including the icon, button style and visual effects in different operating States.

2. Systematic operation process

The operation habits of mobile phone users are system-based. Our interface design must follow the system specifications in the operation process arrangement, our software allows users to use their mobile phones to simplify the user operation process!

Ii. personalization of Interface Effects

Is it true that we ignore the software interface personalization when pursuing integrity and consistency? Integrity and consistency are taken into consideration based on the harmonious unity of the visual effects of the mobile phone system, while personalization is based on the features and purposes of the software. Therefore, this cannot be ignored!

1. unique interface architecture

The practicality of software is the foundation of software applications. We should arrange the layout reasonably based on the application scope of the software in order to achieve the purpose of aesthetic application, this may not necessarily be consistent with the system's standards. It should have its industry standards, such as securities trading, map operations, and other interface features, it is necessary to analyze the features and processes of software applications to develop a relatively standard interface architecture. The functional operation areas, content display areas, and navigation control areas of the interface architecture should be unified and standardized. The element styles of the same operation areas of different functional modules should be consistent, allows users to quickly master the operations of different modules. In this way, the entire interface is unified into a unique whole.

2. Dedicated Interface icons

The software's icon button is a command set based on its own application. Each of its graphic content maps a target action. Therefore, as an icon that reflects the target action, it should have a strong ideographic nature, in the production process, selecting a graphic operator with typical industry characteristics helps you identify and operate easily. The image creation of icons should not be too cumbersome. To adapt to the screen with a small display area on the mobile phone itself, use a pixel image as much as possible to ensure the image quality is clear, you can consider the effect of partial pixel appearance to enhance the impression of the icon.

3. personalized settings of UI colors

Colors affect a person's mood. Different colors lead to different psychological effects. On the contrary, colors acceptable to different psychological states are different. changing things can attract people's attention, the color personalization of the interface design aims to coordinate users' psychology by changing colors, so that users can maintain a freshness of software products, it allows you to change the default system settings based on your needs, and select a personalized setting that you are satisfied with to achieve coordination between software products and users. In many software products, the interface skin replacement technology is involved. In the software interface design process of mobile phones, the application of this personalized setting can greatly improve the charm of the software, meet various needs of users! In the specific operation implementation process, color matching is particularly important. We need to consider the color contrast and effect of the icon color and the skin replacement color, so as not to cause the interface effect of flowers or chaos.

Iii. Specifications of interface visual elements

1. Quality of image elements

We recommend that you use images with less colors and rich colors to ensure that the data volume is small and that the image effect is good. This minimizes the amount of data that graphic images occupy in the software system, improve program efficiency.

2. Combination of line color blocks and graphic images

The line and color block on the interface will be implemented by a program later. This requires the combination of the program part and the image part, and the natural combination is required to coordinate the overall effect of the interface, therefore, programmers need to communicate closely with the interface designer to reach an agreement.
