"Design Frontier" junior web designer needs attention

I am honored today is the last day of July, think for a long time did not summarize their own work, then today take this opportunity to say. There are a few things to start with:

(a) How do the junior designers do the web design.

(ii) How junior designers communicate with users

(iii) How should junior designers improve themselves.

(a) How to do web design for beginners

On the internet usually we will see a lot of design of the great God's work, color and typesetting looks very comfortable, stay white is just right, the most important is the layout is not so complex, it seems to open a PS can draw out, but the fact is true? The answer is only in practice to know, the actual development of the design is not only the technical level of the designer, but also a comprehensive ability. Junior designers in the design from the basic requirements of the Web page, do not be ambitious, to make some outdated design drafts. What are the basic requirements of web design?

1. Clear Business processes

The ugly site should also let users know what the site is for, but the business process generally in the low-fidelity prototype will have a detailed description of the designer to do is to further integrate the process in the page, and through visual elements to make the process easier and easier to operate. So the most important thing for designers in this step is to understand the needs and business structure of the site, and to integrate the page information.

2. The hierarchical relationship of font size is clear

In the preliminary design draft must have a design code, here is to say that the font size of the hierarchical relationship must be clear, such as the title size, color selection, two-level title font size and so on. Font hierarchy clearly helps to clarify the hierarchical relationship of site content, and if so, the page will become cluttered and will cause great inconvenience to HTML writing.

3. Specification of spacing and size between elements

4. Style meets site content requirements

The biggest factor affecting website style is color matching, after the basic elements are well designed, color matching can often affect the success or failure of the design, the basic role of color matching is to determine the site style, highlighting the key elements, generally speaking is to guide the user's vision. about how to color is a profound knowledge, not much to say here.

(ii) How junior designers communicate with users

Here are a few examples of how I communicate with clients to entertain.

Customer: How is the gap between the two pages different?

Xiao Ming: negligence, I adjust.

(for the objective problems must be learned to accept, it is true that they do not standardize the timely correction)

Customer: This 14px font is too big to change 12px.

Xiao Ming silently a picture of Baidu Library to the customer: This is 14px, you see need not change?

(Sometimes the facts are more convincing to the customer than their own talk.)

Customer: This color is too light, to a lively.

This is the kindergarten website, Xiao Ming wanted to match up with two sets of solutions: Which do you think is better?

(Let the customer have a choice, never ask the customer: what color do you think is better?) ）

No matter what the problem, to give customers an open-minded, low-key but adhere to the principle of the impression, can not snub customers but can not be led by customers. In fact, the purpose of the designers and customers are the same, are hoping to be able to make the site a better visual experience, so designers do not have to go through with customers, more need not to cross with their own.

(iii) How should junior designers improve themselves.

Because of the time is not much, simply write, the primary web design is the most important to abide by the Web page specifications, not too casual and fancy, simple is to look like a regular website, rather than patchwork. But with the My darling of time, if the designer still stay in the daily modification of irregular design, is not thinking upward. This time we can think about, what kind of color style to better foil the style of the site, what kind of pictures to better convey the site information, the site's banner map needs to design, how to design banner and so on.

Talking about the design of the picture requires graphic design knowledge, so now popular a point of view is that good web designer must also be a good graphic designer, this sentence is very reasonable, especially the large map of the site, the design of the background map determines the success or failure of the entire site design.

After learning the above knowledge, we can think about the layout of the site, such as absolute symmetry or relatively symmetrical, is the upper and lower columns or left and right columns, these need to be considered.

Speaking of the website design department does not say a user experience problem, designers can not always behind closed doors, more listening to other opinions, there will be good, good night.
