The older generation's weather forecasts, whether the medium is newspaper, radio, or television, are annoying. "Jinan, clear, 15 degrees to 27 degrees." Suzhou, overcast to cloudy, 20 degrees to 28 degrees "who listens to be able to not bother?" But in recent years mobile phone weather application has been very good, the designer solved this traditional problem, let the weather forecast become style.
Although each system has its own built-in weather applications, but third party designers to promote the development of weather applications, so that weather applications can be linked to the user's application, so that the weather application is beautiful generous, now almost everyone on the phone have a weather application.
The most notable feature is that all weather applications in the case use slender sans-serif fonts, such as Helvetica Neue (Yahoo Weather application), Gotham, and hero. These sharp-edged fonts bring a fresh, modern sensation that caters to the user's visual scans and facilitates the reading and understanding of the information.
Okay, now let's start with five design trends in weather application design:
1. Photographic style
Yahoo! Weather makes people feel very modern, and is minimalist style, very visual appeal. The weather forecast will be fitted with a local landmark building.
The overall design is clean, orderly, a glimpse of the world weather, and a slide can get more weather information.
The innovation of this application is that it is a very good user experience to be associated with the region, and then with the weather forecast, through the iconic photos of the region.
2. Colorful
The world is colorful, color can arouse our emotional response. Red evokes our passion, the yellow optimism, the feeling of trust and reliability in the blue. The color is closely related to us, this is solar application will use the color to the extreme, to show the temperature and environmental conditions.
You can get a few hours and a day's weather forecast by simply sliding, which is displayed by a gradient of colors.
3. Information Map Style
The information map is very suitable for decomposing and classifying weather forecast data and presenting it in a clearer and more intuitive way. The turntable is interesting with illustrations, icons and images, such as partly cloudy applications.
This "a bit like clock" style of the main screen presented a lot of information-time, temperature, precipitation probability, wind-the complexity of the simple, very magical bar.
4. Flat icon Style
The lazy way is to follow the tradition, right? Minimeteo uses the super simple flat design, the card type flat interface, the information presentation is more intuitive.
A straightforward design is a good design
5. Realism
More people like this style called the design of the object. Weather Dial's weather application is inspired by German industrial design guru Dieter Rams.
button to set (Lenovo to control the switch), fan-shaped for the actual information (Lenovo to the dashboard display information), both functional and aesthetic.
