What is the wireless icon?

icon is as important to designers as LOGO is to graphic designers. And the interface design, it is also composed of points, lines and surfaces. Face is color, line is typesetting, and point is ICON (the most elementary threshold for designers).

What we need to think about is what changes have taken place in the design pursued by people from the first generation ICON to the latest ICON, from the initial pixelation to realism to ultra-realism to the current flattening. It is from being able to use it to being able to understand it, to being easy to use and look good, and to the efficiency of the fast food era now.

only by understanding the development of ICON can we better judge how to find the right future direction in the tide of UI design-the development trend of wireless design.

ICON is only a point of UI design. As the most complicated and lowest layer of UI design, OS is a system-level design, which can basically lead a development trend of the whole wireless design. For example, IOS: Since the advent of iphone1 on January 9, 27, it has changed the world; Then iphone 3GS added some functions of mail push application store, and began to support multimedia SMS copy, paste, cut and so on. Apple's pace of changing the world is so fast, just like the next products, iphone4 and iphone4S, it seems that the whole world is clear, and the visual effect is so good. Its resolution is four times that of iphone 3G. Apple calls it retina screen, which means that it has exceeded the recognition limit of human naked eyes; Iphone 5s(ios7) began to be flat; Iphone 6s/plus (ios8/9) It is an upgraded version of Point.

To sum up, IOS is an industry leader, willing to challenge and break through; Serve the content with minimalist flattening, form following function and vision; He is also a radical reformist, from the design of semi-realistic simulacra to flattening; It also dares to challenge the existing aesthetics; It guides rather than caters to consumers; With a leading and innovative style. There are also Android and Samsung, which have their own advantages, but the design of the wireless side is from functionality to flattening. * * * The same point is that the colors are more and more vivid, and the body vision is more and more concise.

after understanding the development of ICON and starting to do it yourself, you should first know a big module in UI design-emotion module.

the overview of emotion module is to classify, induce and summarize various design elements that we use daily, so that we can apply them to other scenes and similar products.
