The emergence of UI designers now is the result of design changes in the Internet age. More and more designers have joined this new profession. Some people value the high salary of UI design, while others see bright career prospects. As for UI, it means "user interface". The fields of UI design include: design psychology, emotional design, visual design, and knowledge of artistic principles. In the process of UI design, we actually used a lot of software, but some novice partners still don't know it. Let me give you a list below. Let's have a look! Software sharing commonly used in UI design: First, UI design visual design software: PS, SketchPhotoshop is a powerful image processing software, so you can use it to complete UI design not only for retouching photos. In addition, for the icon design, it is made by vector drawing software, so that the amplification will not be distorted and there is no virtual edge, and AI may be needed. However, according to industry statistics, the main softwares commonly used in the UI design industry are PS and AI. In addition, there are new era products focusing on UI design, as well as sketching software, which is a very friendly software focusing on UI design. It allows us to minimize complex software operations and put the time of thinking about UI in the first place. It allows us to focus on responsive design instead of photo editing in ps, focusing on interaction and animation instead of materials. However, its market share is still growing slowly because it is limited to the Apple system. But it doesn't matter, when you take it all away (I believe skecth is 1-2 days for you, a few hours of course, because his interface interaction is so friendly: intuitive, simple and easy to operate). Second, MindManager: MindManager or XMindMindManager or XMind are MindManager. It doesn't matter which software you use, just according to your personal habits. Mind mapping must have been used by everyone in planning, analyzing and brainstorming. It is also often used in UI design. This course is specially set in the training of Youtu UI design, which is mainly used to sort out product demand ideas, product architecture, product interaction logic and so on. In short, before doing vision, he is a good helper for everyone to sort out their ideas. 3. Rapid Prototyping Design Tool: AxureRP is a professional rapid prototyping design tool. AxureRP is the flagship product of AxureSoftwareSolution Company in the United States, and it is a professional rapid prototyping design tool. It mainly enables experts (product managers and UI designers) who define requirements and specifications and design 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. Fourth, dynamic design: AE software More and more domestic companies begin to pay attention to dynamic design, and more and more teams realize the importance of dynamic design in product user experience. As UI designers, why do we need dynamic design? Finally: let users use your products (App, webpage, software, intelligent hardware, etc.). ) It's cooler and cooler. Dynamic effect design can easily express static pictures or abstract dynamic effects. Therefore, UI designers usually design and produce dynamic effect drafts, express abstract interactive experience in addition to the necessary interactive effects, and let the development team have an intuitive understanding of the products to be developed. In a word, it is very useful and powerful in interactive experience design. 5. Front-end design: Dw software (learning html, css, jsp)Dreamweaver is the development tool of html. Writing static pages and CSS styles is very powerful. Front-end engineers use it more. Of course, there are other more friendly writing software. You can choose according to your personal preference, because software is not the key, but thinking and ability are the key. UI designers need to learn the layout and design of the front end, but they don't have to be proficient. If you can really achieve interactive design and visual design, it is already a leader in the industry. Speaking of the original intention of UI designers to learn front-end, it is probably because all kinds of gorgeous webpage special effects/interactions are so attractive. This feeling is probably: "hey, my design draft (static picture) can be made into a web page to visit!" Fortunately, "presentation" is the easiest part for front-end technology. So, let go of the fear of the word "programming" and start with the non-programming language HTML/CSS, and do something with a sense of accomplishment first! For designers, the most fulfilling thing must be "what can you see", and HTML/CSS is used to do this. Of course, UI designers master this skill not to grab the job of front-end development, but to better cooperate with front-end engineers in product development. If you want to be an excellent UI designer, you must learn how to use software! I hope everyone can master these UI design software well! Finally, I wish you all by going up one flight of stairs in the study of UI design ~ Well, what software is commonly used in UI design? "That's it, more wonderful sharing is here ~
