Have a go at browsing different websites<\/strong> on the same theme. You\u2019re bound to stop at one in particular, but why? At first, you won\u2019t find any coherent explanation, but it does make sense. The answer lies in the Interface Design<\/strong> o User Interface<\/strong>, which ensures that everything a user sees and experiences is consistent with the website\u2019s objectives.<\/p>\n

At Euroinnova, we\u2019d like to explain what the User Interface (UI) Design<\/strong>, as well as telling you about its components and the main tools used by professionals in this field. If you want to become a User Interface professional, you\u2019ll need to familiarise yourself with these essential tools.<\/p>\n

Are you ready? Let's get started!<\/p>\n

What is User Interface (UI) Design?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As we have hinted at, User Interface (UI) design is responsible for designing all the elements that users interact<\/strong> directly. Everything you see and click on in a website<\/strong> o application<\/strong> It has been worked on by a user interface professional. Behind it lies the UX<\/strong>, which can be defined as the hidden part.<\/p>\n

Bear this information in mind, as you will see the concepts of UI and UX used together. Understand the difference: when we talk about UI, we are referring to the visible part of a website, and when we talk about UX<\/a>, the hidden side that nobody sees. The same applies to the concepts of frontend<\/strong> y backend<\/strong>.<\/a> Whilst the front end is responsible for developing the part that the user sees, the back end focuses on the hidden part.<\/p>\n

What exactly does interface design involve? Among other things, it involves colours<\/strong>, typefaces<\/strong>, icons<\/strong>, forms<\/strong>, animations<\/strong>, buttons<\/strong> and even the notification sounds. However, above all else, the User-Centred Design (UCD)<\/strong>, which is both responsive across all devices and functional.<\/p>\n

In their day-to-day work, UI professionals make use of the creation of wireframes<\/strong> or screen wireframes. Furthermore, they often work with design methodologies such as Design Thinking<\/strong> o Design Sprint<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

User Interface Elements<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What tools does a UI designer use? At this point, we need to explain a few important concepts to you, as they may be confusing or unfamiliar to you. This will also help you become more familiar with this ecosystem. We hope you\u2019ll become a true UI professional!<\/p>\n

Guidelines<\/strong><\/h3>\n

These resources are extremely helpful because they are developed by the operating systems themselves. If you want to create elements that maintain visual consistency between the interface and the platform, you should refer to these documents:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Google Material Design<\/strong>: This is the guide for Google\u2019s Android operating system.<\/li>\n
  • Human-Computer Interaction Guidelines<\/strong>: this is the app for the iOS operating system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Icons<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Interface designers bear this in mind every day, as they have to use them in different sizes, styles and colours.<\/p>\n

    Moodboard<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    This is a visual board containing the elements required for the design and conceptualisation of the interface. From here, the following can be generated: UI Kits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    UI Kits<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    This is the document that your entire company will use to develop each design. Why? Because it contains all the instructions to ensure that no one deviates from the organisation\u2019s visual identity. This User Interface Kit includes the following elements:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Colour systems: the three primary colours.<\/li>\n
    • Icon systems.<\/li>\n
    • Typography: the typeface family, typographic variations and the main hierarchies.<\/li>\n
    • Components such as forms or cards.<\/li>\n
    • Buttons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Key design tools<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      There is currently a wide range of tools available for creating your designs. However, at Euroinnova we would like to highlight the three most popular ones on the market. That said, we encourage you to try out different options and choose the one you feel most comfortable with and find the most resources for.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Figma<\/strong>: The advantage of this tool is that it enables real-time collaboration, as well as allowing you to make corrections online. Furthermore, it also lets you share the design via a URL, without the user needing to have an active account.<\/li>\n
      • Sketch<\/strong>: This tool works 100 % in vector format, with pixel-level precision and in a non-destructive manner. However, it can only be used by users who own a Mac.<\/li>\n
      • Adobe XD<\/strong> or Adobe Experience Design: choosing a tool from the Adobe ecosystem is always a good decision, as they are available for both Mac and PC. Furthermore, they offer a range of other tools which, when used together, can help you become a truly unique professional.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Jobs arising from Interface Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        To round off this post on UI (User Interface), we\u2019d like to introduce you to some of the careers that stem from this discipline. After all, designing and implementing a website requires people with a range of different skills.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • UI Designer<\/strong>: The interface designer is responsible for the visual aspects of the interface, taking usability into account and prioritising the user\u2019s experience over aesthetics. User retention on the website depends on their work, which is why they work closely with the front-end developer.<\/li>\n
        • Motion Designer<\/strong>: It is responsible for designing visual narratives through animations. Motion design enhances the user experience on the website, thereby raising brand awareness.<\/li>\n
        • Front-end Developer<\/strong>: The Front-end Developer is responsible for translating designs into a programming language, such as HTML, JavaScript (JS) or CSS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Mobile design: the trend that\u2019s already here<\/strong><\/h2>\n

          Mobile First<\/strong>. This is the prevailing trend in the world of interface design, driven by the growing use of these mobile devices. At this point, it is important to distinguish between responsive design<\/strong> and \u2018mobile first\u2019, as the latter is not simply an adaptation of the desktop version, but is based on designing everything for mobile devices first and then scaling it up for other screen sizes.<\/p>\n

          Mobile browsing is an aspect that is being taken into account in the world of SEO<\/strong>, given that Google only takes the mobile version of websites into account for indexing and ranking. And what factors do they take into account?<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Speed<\/strong>: The time it takes for a website to load is a metric that Google uses to rank different URLs.<\/li>\n
          • The size of the buttons and various elements on the page.<\/li>\n
          • Pop-ups: avoid these elements and any others that hinder users\u2019 navigation.<\/li>\n
          • Optimised images, of a suitable size and resolution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
