With the emergence and development of the computer technology and new media network, interface design has become a new and important member in the field of art design. The design can be broadly divided into three parts: structural design, interaction design and visual design. The graphical user interface studied in this article belongs to the visual design of the interface design, which is the most intuitive part that digital products present to the user and also the interface between users and digital products to operate each other.When the art design develops into a deep level, it not only has a further contact with science and technology, but also surely happens to cross with some branches of culture, such as history, folklore, study of human culture, social psychology, social ethics. Implementation through the design is not just commercial purposes, but also the reflection of politics, economy, culture, philosophy, aesthetics and social psychology in a certain period. As a product of modernly-advanced science and technology and rapidly-developed cultural media industry, graphical user interface which is a new and special media, carries abundant but complex cultural information. One important aim of interface design is to convey information, which itself is just a phenomenon of information dissemination. Graphical user interface design is not only an act of information dissemination, but also an act of cultural symbol; its process can be seen as a cultural process of information dissemination. Therefore, graphical user interface and cultural transmission are two concepts of two completely different areas, but this article will still link the two closely.This article from the perspective of cultural transmission gives graphical user interface design a new thinking and exploration casts back the history of graphical user interface design and clarifies the concept, boundary and artistic characteristics of graphical user interface design. By analyzing the typically representative works, it also deeply explores the modern cultural environment and traditional cultural resources involved in development process of graphical user interface design, mining the theory of value in graphical user interface design, in order to better grasp the development trend after the integration of graphical user interface design and new technologies. This trend has a far-reaching significance to enrich our theoretical research of graphical user interface design, promote the creation of the design of graphical user interface, help our graphical user interface design accurately to position itself to the track of international development of graphical user interface design and benefit the development of our digital products and prosperity of traditional culture.The thesis is divided into the following eight chapters.Chapter One-- Introduction, briefly introduces this study's the premise, causes, research purpose, meaning and method, and concisely expatiates the concepts related to the dissertation research and the study conditions at home and abroad;Chapter Two-- Ontology, gives an overview of graphical user interface's concept, classification, application areas and the main form , and an understanding analysis of graphical user interface from the point of view of cultural transmission ;Chapter Three—Environment theory , mainly introduces graphical user interface design environment which is based on cultural transmission, including geographical cultural environment, consumer cultural environment and the spread of post-colonial environment;Chapter Four-- Resource theory, discusses in detail traditional cultural resources of graphical user interface design , reviews the global perspective and the modern shift of traditional Chinese culture and on the basis of analyzing the relationship between graphical user interface design and Chinese traditional culture, explores symbiotic interaction of the Chinese traditional culture and graphical user interface design;Chapter Five—Effect theory, includes the influence factors of effect, the specific effects of culture which is also known as the culture of communication and integration and cross-cultural conflict and cultural transmission;Chapter Six—Trend theory, at the above address, imagines the future of graphical user interface, and comes up the trend of graphical user interface design based on cultural transmission, that is, the development from the previous design technology and the concept of "Western supremacy" to the present " East-West fusion ? pluralistic coexistence "situation, will eventually move toward the design of the concept of" return self ";Chapter Seven-- Conclusion, in the final part, the author first gives an overview of research findings, pointing out their inadequacies and limitations of the study, while make the prospect in this field and calls for more scholars paying more attention to the cultural transmission of graphical user interface design .
