Vision, a familiar word for designers, everyone has a set of their own theory, may be any one of the design of the people will say, visual is able to see the chant.
Indeed, in the broad sense of vision, it is possible to encompass all visible things, a kind of experience that occurs between people, and a form of presentation. As a terminal http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/10243.html "> visual designer, we are working on the screen every day." Want to create a world in a small terminal. But often we are in the process, in fact, there are quite a lot of distress, such as in the processing of requirements, interaction, vision, development of the relationship between the time. We will always encounter problems of how to break through too much restriction.
1. Trends in Visual effects
Breakthrough means to comb the present, anticipate the trend, and categorize the summary. So let's analyze the terminal visual trends first. Do not know if you have contact with the following resolution products,
Figure 1.1
The table contains most of the products in the market, in fact, can also see a certain pattern
Figure 1.2
As shown in Figure 1.2, with the development of the product, the resolution of the mobile terminal products is more and more high, the formation of a certain category, the more functions, the more complex interaction, and can play the current 720p or more high-definition video. So with the production of these products, the user, visual design, interactive design are influential. Let's talk about both user and visual design.
Impact on users
Figure 1.3
The influence of
on visual design
Figure 1.4
As you can see from figure 1.3 and figure 1.4, the changes in the hardware of the product directly affect the experience and have three effects on the user.
1. Use content,
2. Operation Mode,
3. Visual senses.
As a result, visual design also follows these three aspects to change,
1. Due to changes in content, it shows the terminal plate, more categories, the same page will be more than the previous products have more content, then require the designer must have a strong overall grasp of the ability to achieve tonal unity, clear distinction, change subtle details.
2. Products from the button to touch, more operations to focus on the screen, then the size of the control, shape, color, location also has a certain requirements, easy to click, semantic clarity becomes more important.
3. The user's direct visual change to the product is that the screen becomes bigger and finer, which requires the designer to do the graphics more deeply, to imitate the nature in a certain degree, to create another "real" world in the screen. Of course, the world always has two extremes, in the natural comfort of the operation, simple style, flat feeling is also a big trend.
We see changes in the hardware of the product that have changed the user experience and visual design, and this trend will certainly continue to evolve in the future. Microsoft Surface is a commitment to NUI products, but also the impetus of this trend. If the application of the holographic projection technology in Avatar would be a further technological future, then the trend above would affect us most recently.
From the beginning of my UI to now, in fact, there is a product that I feel very deep, that is, the paper book. Nearly two years turned out it is also a small force. Because he completely changed the traditional use of digital products of the senses, using electronic inkjet technology, making the page closer to the paper. This traditional reading habit was once again taken back, returned to basics, and is always a human aspiration.
Figure 1.5
But because of all the technical and cost factors, the screen hasn't been used very quickly, so let's just be a special case.
To go back to what we said earlier, our recent visual effects are developing trends. Imitate nature, simple plane two main style route. A certain meaning to guide our visual design direction. We are also required to make a variety of preparations to solve the design bottlenecks.
2. Search for a visual breakthrough solution
From the above, we draw the development trend of visual effects, then we need to get rid of some of the conventional ideas to achieve design, improve design, and design the future. The iphone's debut was a landmark. In addition to some of the reasons people often say, in fact, from a visual point of view, Apple has a unique view of design, and has a stubborn aesthetic, jobs for many years the same dress, visible clues.
Figure 2.1
From my understanding of design basic to seek breakthroughs in the following points:
Natural Evolution Method
Figure 2.2
For the body in fact, we can often find a breakthrough from nature, this is an aquarium landscape design, then use the sand and gravel to form a natural feeling
Figure 2.3
The interior of the color and lines are very coordinated to show the style of the water family.
Figure 2.4
Hook design, then took the liquid flow of the modelling, the traditional breakthrough. We are in the interface design many times can also use this idea. is a natural evolution method, and has a certain composition.
Life Refining Method
Figure 2.5
The most common technique in industrial product design is to present the new elements produced by the present technology to life and to realize the function. In fact, the reverse mentality of this way is that we put the life of the actual elements, cleverly extracted into the interface visual design. Creating a new World on the terminal screen is also the most fulfilling result of the visual design process. Which is the method of life refinement.
Figure 2.6
phenomenon and ridicule method
Figure 2.7
Figure 2.8
Often there is a picture of the truth, figure 2.7 and figure 2.8 is a kind of ridicule of the phenomenon, in fact, this is a designer should have a thought. It is very ingenious to turn some scenes of life into something that is functional and indicative. If the ax hit the wall when the hook is not enough function, the following stainless steel cup reflected on the plate in the words is full of charm and a certain indication. The interface visual design can also open some of the present ideas here.
Environmental Control Method
All design in the process is always faced with a variety of constraints, and in a creative realization, there are some not very good solution, in the limit to seek a perfect breakthrough is also necessary, is what we call the environmental control law. The MacBook has always been known for its lightness, but the plug it carries is thicker than it is, and it is obvious that this commonplace problem is not considered and designed.
Figure 2.9
Interface visual design believe that there must be such a problem, commonplace, can optimize not for it, is the designer's biggest key. So we always have to be in the habit of restricting the search for a new way in order to experience the details of a revolutionary change.
Of course, in addition to the above four kinds of methods, in fact, there are many we can learn from the form and ideas, here is not one by one, hope that in the search for a breakthrough designers to a point of sparkle sparks.
3. Conclusion
Through the face of visual trends in the comb, and visual design to seek breakthroughs in the method of selection, I can see in the future design, all the vision is to have the same thinking point, Vision is Datong, and in the same way, we can achieve the best bottleneck breakthrough, at different latitude service different users, To more actively grasp the design, to drive the development of products.
Terminal visual design, is a powerful situation to affect a generation of aesthetic and use, we work together.
