Extended data:
UI design (or interface design) refers to the overall design of human-computer interaction, operation logic and beautiful interface of software. UI design can be divided into entity UI and virtual UI. The commonly used UI design on the Internet is virtual UI, which is the abbreviation of UserInterface.
Good UI design not only makes the software personalized and tasteful, but also makes the operation of the software comfortable, simple and free, which fully embodies the positioning and characteristics of the software.
UI is actually a broad concept. Modern Chinese Dictionary defines "interface" as the contact surface between objects, which generally refers to the interface (interface) during the interaction between people and objects (utensils, tools and machines). Take the car as an example, the steering wheel, dashboard and central control all belong to the user interface.
Literally, it consists of two parts: user and interface, but in fact it also includes the interaction between user and interface, so it can be divided into three directions: user research, interaction design and interface design.
Generally speaking, UI is the abbreviation of UserInterface. The prefix "Inter" of "Inter" means "together, interacting", but the concept of "interaction" has not been reflected after being translated into Chinese. Understand the concept of UI through the following three levels.
First of all, UI refers to the medium of interaction between people and information, and is the functional carrier and typical feature of information products. UI exists as an available form of the system, such as visual interface, which emphasizes the organization and presentation of visual elements.
This is the design of the physical presentation layer. Every product or interactive form appears in this form, including graphics, icons, colors, text design and so on. Users can use the system through them. At this level, UI can be understood as UserInterface, that is, user interface, which is the basic level of UI as human-computer interaction.
