"Reborn" or "changed" to see how we design for iOS7

IOS7 is the biggest change since iOS was born, he abandoned Scott Forstall's physical design, using the Ive advocated flat design. At the same time in the original system added more dynamic, colorful, card and other effects, and strive to let iOS get an unprecedented sense of science and technology instead of reality. With the release of IOS7, many application developers have also modified their apps to conform to IOS7 's overall style and functionality, and the App Store also specializes in a "iOS7-designed" channel that will put iOS7 redesigned apps into this channel. However, careful users may have found that some applications are really the overall style of their own biased iOS7, and some applications are simply optimized or even changed the logo. First, the impression note notes can be said to be the current stage for the IOS7 update the largest changes in the app, not only the logo before the redesign, fully in line with the flat. And the app's interface has been redesigned and laid out. Previous UI has been completely broken, in addition to the function does not change, the UI has no previous "notebook" concept, all in the way of the split-plate presentation. And in addition to the theme still adopt the consistent green, whether from the functional plate or the bottom of the shortcut operations, are similar to the IOS7 "control center" style. This design has also attracted a lot of opposition, they have said that the change to make impression notes lost their original style. But for new users (especially the new iOS7), the impression notes are completely consistent with the system interface and function, without any sense of being abrupt. Second, Instagraminstagram is also regarded as one of the first batch of large flat UI app, also in IOS7 beta version, Instagram made a lot of changes, remove the constantly added functions, Instagram all the details of the UI are changed in iOS7 style. Whether it is the homepage of the five function buttons, photo interface photos selection, information prompts the interface to refresh and switch, especially in the message response interface "reply" and "delete" two options, are based on the layout of the iOS7 design. Also in any level two or two below the menu, slide to the right can return to the previous level menu, this design and iOS7 with the app design. If you're looking for something a little different, it's that iOS7 cancels out a piece of information. Swipe right to remove this gesture, while Instagram supports left and right sliding. Third, Sina Weibo said Sina Weibo, may be many friends hand the most commonly used app. The new version of Sina Weibo official client is also designed to fully fit the iOS7 design concept, whether the above mentioned flat borderless interface display, or right sliding back to the previous level menu, and informationInterface left-click to remove the button. It can be said that a copy of all iOS7 design. But from a personal perspective, the difference between Sina Weibo and impression notes is that the impression notes redesigned their UI in "IOS7 style", and Sina Weibo is more like a complete copy of the IOS7 design method. For example, in the timeline interface, if you choose a personalized background, then the foreground effect will become like the control center of the same "hair glass" like, and this effect is good to see? At least I think there is a strange pattern behind the text, which affects the reading experience. Four, NetEase news compared to the above three app, some applications of the evolution is not so appropriate. For example, NetEase news, also recommended in the App Store area, flat design changes, just remove the UI frame, color is the use of a single transparent tone, the button is also a line, landing interface menu and Options menu also uses a colorful effect of the background, the technology is full. But that's all. Although in the visual effect, more in line with the overall style of iOS7, but after use, is not really in line with the concept of iOS7? For example, in the news category of the selection interface, remove the button and reduce the area, will cause user clicks on the difficulty. After all, NetEase news is a kind of reading app, what users want is a good reading experience and sufficient content information. The other reason why, because of the addition of apps recommended in the IOS7 section of the App Store, there are also many apps that modify their own icons or UI. As the above four application said, some applications through the iOS7 design concept, redesign their own app, some are copied iOS7 elements, discard their original design style. There are some just the icon and button line, the interface without Borders, the color transparent. IOS7 's flat design is not just a change in these aspects, ive as a well-known designer, in the details of the obsession is out of the name. Many applications in the flat design, the first thought is the IOS7 control center of the "Hair glass dazzling color" effect, and then moved to their own interface. And do not say that the iOS7 of this design itself is not by the majority of the affirmation, but at least not in any interface to adopt this effect, because the notification center and the control center of the two functions as the auxiliary function of the whole system, translucent design does not cause the system itself to cover up, more like a system extension. These details of the design, not overnight can learn, and not one or two words can be said clearly. Similarly, not every application will be a flat design of their own UI is good, how better to combine the app and system style while ensuring the user's experience, is "iOS7" under the premise of these apps to make changes.
