Study Notes
UI Design
- UI design focuses on the visual appearance and interactivity of digital products (websites, apps).
- It often complements UX design, which focuses on the overall user journey.
Key Elements of UI Design
- Layout: Arranging elements logically on a page/screen for clarity.
- Typography: Choosing and arranging fonts for readability and aesthetics.
- Color: Using colors to evoke mood, branding, and hierarchy
- Icons & Graphics: Using symbols and images to clarify information.
- Buttons & Controls: Elements users interact with (buttons, sliders).
- Feedback: Visual cues indicating the results of user actions.
- Consistency: Using consistent colors, fonts, and elements throughout the interface.
How to Approach UI Design
- Understand the User and Context: Research users, their needs, and usage context.
- Wireframing: Create basic, low-fidelity layouts to map out structure.
- Prototyping: Develop higher-fidelity representations with interactivity.
- Design: Adding visual details (typography, colors, etc).
- Iterate: Continuously test, gather feedback, and refine the design.
Tools Commonly Used in UI Design
- Sketch (MacOS-based)
- Adobe XD (for design & collaboration)
- Figma (web-based, collaborative)
- InVision (prototyping)
- Zeplin (collaboration for designers and developers)
