2. Adobe Illustrator (ai) AI, a well-known vector drawing software, is very suitable for icon or graphic design, and vector drawing will not be deformed regardless of its size. This is the advantage of AI, which is very suitable for flattening. The disadvantage is that ai can't cut the graph and doesn't handle the virtualized icons very well.
3.Adobe After Effects (AE) is suitable for organizations engaged in design and video special effects, including TV stations, animation production companies, personal post-production studios and multimedia studios. It belongs to the later software of layer type. But in the UI industry, it is to do some UI interaction. Dynamic effect is the most efficient software, but AE can't be used as an interface. This AE is not good at it.
4.AxureRP AxureRP is a professional rapid prototyping design tool. Enable experts who are responsible for defining requirements and specifications, designing functions and interfaces to quickly create wireframes, flowcharts, prototypes and specification documents of application software or websites. As a professional prototype design tool, it can quickly and efficiently create prototypes and support multi-person collaborative design and version control management.
Add a new software released by Sketch some time ago.
The initial impression of this software may be just small enough and convenient enough. But if you use it more, you will find that its best feature is not that it has more functions than PS, but the operation and interaction mode designed for UI, which is very efficient to use. PS can't do the best design for UI designers, because it has to consider the use of photographers. The operation/interaction mode of the basic tools of PS has never been specially designed for UI. That's how the sketch won.
Tips: Generally speaking, it is enough for UI designers to master four softwares: ps and AI are mainly used for interfaces, AE is used for dynamic effects, and ARP is used for interactive prototypes. However, some large enterprises have a wide variety of businesses and require relatively high skills in UI design, so UI designers need to master more design tools to meet the job requirements. "No amount of skills will crush you." Students can learn more software tools if they have free time.
