What are the details of the interface design and how to go deep?
We often say "the details determine the success or failure", some of the interface will make people feel not exquisite, lack of detail, and these details include what? How to go deeper?
- interface element Alignment , I have seen a lot of classmates alignment is always by the eye. Indeed in the layout of the time often need to do the visual alignment, rather than mechanical alignment, but this is not the interface elements can be placed at random excuses, the alignment of the content needs to be aligned, sometimes just a little effort to develop good habits is very important, a bit obsessive-compulsive disorder is not a bad feeling.
- pixel accuracy , although the resolution is now more and more high, but many icons, the edge of the button is best checked to ensure that the vertical and horizontal edges will not be falsified.
- The consistency of the interface light source , consistency is a big topic, should be able to write a paper so long, the details of consistency should include interface elements, text shadows, icons and other light sources. Assuming that the dark headline text is shaded with a downward tint, the body should avoid using darker text to cast a darker shadow.
- Icon Area consistency , which is also a problem that has been difficult to avoid, and there are many subjective components, the best way is to put on the actual screen at the time of design to look at a longer distance, is not what will be particularly light or special weight, and then to adjust the size
- copy , although this is not a direct interface design elements, but rigorous, complete the copy is also for all design points. Common problems are Chinese typos, English capitalization, spelling mistakes, etc.
- don't use Windows to bring your own Arial/boldface English !!! This doesn't explain.
- careful use of high saturation color, big difference gradient , we GUI designers always like to think of themselves as an artist, even if the GUI is really art that is the limit of the largest art (the celestial films, TV dramas do not count ...) ), most of the cases encountered in the design scene does not have a very large color space to play, so some eye-catching jumping colors and gradients to use to be more careful, otherwise it is easy to produce "tacky" feeling
- proper white , white is a good thing, especially when the boss/client/PM asked you to do some "atmospheric" design time can become a good speech, but it is difficult to stay white at the same time, excessive white will sometimes play a counter-productive, so that our work looks no details, content empty. Just like those students who learn to draw pictures on the computer often horizontal mirror inspection screen, and sometimes I will do half of the design to color, and then anti-white, to see if the black screen will produce a frightening feeling (OK, I admit that I am a very emotional classmate, a lot of design ideas and methods are not scientific) ...
In fact, the list of these problems is very easy, but the daily work to do is really difficult, we all share it ~
