First, write in front

As designers want to design a good enough work, in addition to have skilled skills, but also need to have outstanding creativity and aesthetic. If there is not enough experience and feeling for all things, there is no understanding and understanding of beauty, it is difficult to improve the level and make a satisfactory design.

"Broaden one's horizons and improve the aesthetic" is undoubtedly a compulsory course for designers. You can start from the point of http://idesign.qq.com to start yo.

Ii. early stage of the project

Whether you are a beginner's entry-level designer, or an experienced senior designer, you need to "look", which is to read and organize all kinds of information and messages and chaff, to improve the aesthetic, expand the thinking.

designers need a variety of information in the work of various knowledge reserves, how to "see" is the first problem we have to solve.

Iii. Exploration of demand

We started a further analysis around how to look at this key point. We sampled a few designers and looked at their daily browsing habits, content and purpose. Discover that their activities can be grouped into the following two situations:

Look-efficient look (find, absorb beautiful things) it's not just a lot to look at, more is to see more excellent content, and these content is not only limited to the interface design, need from more other disciplines, such as music, literature, photography and so on to learn from the knowledge, to find inspiration, to find the driving force forward.

Look-the quality of the look (for reference, the creation of beautiful things) can identify what is good design, which content can be used for me, can inspire creative inspiration, to combine and create a better work.

Based on this demand, the design of navigation design keywords gradually clear:

Four, design the plan

"Design Navigation", a service for designers, was born. Our aim is "aggregation of quality sites, screening quality content." Let designers in the design of navigation can enjoy a one-stop reading experience, more convenient browsing and gathering information, as a source of their own inspiration.

The implementation of the requirements is the way of doing things and process management, teamwork and the rhythm of the industry knowledge.
