Design Reuse

The theory of software reuse has the function of reducing the cost of software development and maintenance, including the reuse of code, reuse of design, reuse of analysis, and reuse of test information. The idea of reuse is interlinked, advertising design, architectural design, http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/11910.html "> Industrial design, interactive design and information architecture and other fields are embodied, Only in various areas of expression and use of different ways.

The most vulgar but effective advertising design in daily life I'm afraid it's going to be a platinum ad, and every year it's the same persona and advertising word. Excellent design with absolute vodka ads, the shape of the wine bottle different ways to achieve the effect is even if only the line of wine bottles, but also to remind people of products.

The design style of Gothic, modernism and deconstruction in architecture also has the unified shape characteristic and the design idea. Specifically, the Japanese architect Tadao The unique application of cement and light source in the overall geometrical form.

In the industrial design of palm and apple styling, palm, although the product sales are not successful, but like the pebbles of the design or left a profound impact. Apple's unified aluminum-alloy one-piece fuselage avoids the exposure of parts and the extreme rebellion against the mechanics.

A large number of cases can be found in the design field, which are inseparable from the concept of reuse. In the interface visual design, there is the re-use of color and shape, which helps to form a unified brand influence. But in the interactive design and updated information architecture has not such a scientific design concept, these development less than 30 years of discipline is still in the early trial and error stage. such as mobile phone interaction design, but also in the "form follow function" to solve the technical feasibility of the trivial problems, in the absence of standardized design, it is difficult to get away to study more design possibilities, and will not form more differentiated design style.

However, summing up the existing reuse ideas in the design, the interactive design and information architecture can be summarized as follows:

the use of existing elements. Use a custom control if the custom control does not achieve better results. Extract a high quality element to magnify the overall feature of the product form. Reuse of cell elements. The use of modular design elements, to strengthen the brand image, reduce the user's cognitive costs. Be cautious about adding new elements. If you add new features, consider whether an existing element can complete the function. The premise of adding new elements is that the role of existing elements has been played to the extreme. such as in the mobile phone client to increase the message, the first thought of whether the program is too complex design to make users difficult to understand.
