Research On Digital Graphical User Interface Visual Designing

Looking back to the history, we find that the range of the"thing"was expended and evolved continuously when mankind was learning and rebuilding the world. Every great invention of humanity society brought brand-new face to our life, and people was also experiencing totally new life during the process exchanging with the"thing".The digital age's arrival made our life full of kinds of digital productions, like computer,mobile phone , PDA etc., these digital screen products have close connection with our life and even become a necessary part of our life. Maybe we will find out carelessly that nowadays we begin to get rid of the habit of reading the instructions when we are using these high-tech productions, so what make us so dependent and unworried to use these productions? When we are operating these products, we can learn more about the product by screen and we can handle it easily through the screen's guidance. The personalized interface design helps us avoid bothering reading the instruction, the beautiful interface makes our life more comfortable. Under such circumstance,"Human-computer Interface Design"becomes a new and important subject. The working process of interface designing mostly can be divided into 3 parts: structure design,interactive design and visual design. The graphical user interface design researched by this article belongs to visual design, which is the most intuitional part the digital product displays to customer; it's also an interactive platform between customer and the products. Graphical user interface uses windows,menus,buttons and symbols as transmitting way to guide customer how to do the next step. As the technology is developing day by day, graphical user interface is applied to more and more products, and its elements are not only confined to the initial WIMP(Windows, icon, menu, pointing device), other elements like sound,image,cartoon appears to the graphical interface more and more , bringing new developing space to the graphical interface. The characteristics of the present digitize screen productions and their visual designing elements are the main point of this research.The interface we are using at present is GUI—graphical user interface, which is designed for the operating system of computer and developed with other new technologies,new productions and its own designing change. Nowadays, page design of website, net interactive serving interface, net application procedure interface and user interface of some mobile equipment are all brought into the GUI's category.At the same time, with the unceasing seepage of computer and network technology to mankind's life, humanity society is transforming from the industry society to the information society, from the industry society's material civilization, to the non-material civilization of the after-industry society. Marco Diani mentioned in his book"non-material society—designing,culture and technology": many post-modern design has no longer focused on the tangible product, but shifted to a series of more abstract'relations', the most basic of which is dialogue relationship between man and machine. " Modern design is no longer limited to the physical design about the object, but emphasizes on designing about "non-material", such as system,organizational structure,intelligence,interface, interactive activities, information and entertainment services . The pioneer of digital age Marvin Minsky mentioned in his "mental society" : whether human or artificial intelligence's thought, both are composed of original simple elements, when these elements form a whole, they become a infinitely complex thing, which is called thinking and feeling by us, These thoughts and feelings can transform into human experience. Empahsis on human-computer and the human experience makes the interface designing not simply rely on computer technology any longer, it becomes a complex project which is integrate designing,congnitive psychology,linguistics and other disciplines.Graphical user interface designing is still an emerging discipline, because spread widely, inclusive, and rooted in computer's powerful technological potential, GUI attracts more and more designers join it to create works. In such a situation, more and more types and quantities of graphical user interface design works emerge contiously, including some experimental and conceptual works. The emergence of some GUI websites and designing competition also stimulated the development of graphical user interface , however, as a developing subject, its current research focused on the technicality about GUI, still lacking the theoretical study and the experimental exploration on combing theory and practise. In light of this, this Paper studies on the graphical user interface's features, the development and evolution since its birth , its background and application areas, combining excellent example of graphical user interface for multi-level, multi-angle analysis.User interface is not only an external manifestation of an internal system product, but a platform for exchanges between users and designers, user interface design has infinite space. Its development and improvement not only rely on automatic technology and the designer's talents,imagination, but also depend on user's inspiration and demand. Finally, surpassingly sparkles are crashed out in the unceasing adjustions and dialogues between the designer and the user.
