"Okay, that's it for the first chat interface. Everyone can refer to this for other interfaces."
Chen Yu stopped writing and handed the designed interface to everyone, "Xie Zhang, tell us, what's the difference between this interface and QQ?"
"It's much more beautiful than QQ."
Chen Yu then asked Zhang Jianming, "Brother Jian, what do you think?"
"It's beautiful and elegant. It's also very simple. It's much better than QQ."
Zhang Jianming also nodded.
Later, Chen Yu asked Li Nan.
"It's not just beautiful and elegant."
Li Nan thought from time to time, "I feel that Boss Chen's interface design isn't as simple as it looks."
"Oh, Li Nan, what else?"
"Boss Chen, I can't say anything right now. I still have to study it."
"Okay, Li Nan, take it back and study it."
Chen Yu didn't say anything else.
Li Nan was a very good programmer.
However, no matter how good he was, he couldn't compare to Chen Yu's foresight.
The reason why Chen Yu vetoed step by step and didn't do it all at once was to cultivate Li Nan's way of thinking.
Software didn't just have to be beautiful. There was a deeper level of pursuit.
…
"Brother Nan, why are you staring at this interface design in a daze?"
Holding Chen Yu's interface design, Li Nan returned to the technical department and fell into deep thought.
He felt that this design seemed to contain countless principles, but he couldn't pinpoint the specific principles.
There was a flash in his mind, but he just couldn't grasp some of it.
"What do you guys think of Boss Chen's interface design?"
Li Nan raised his head and asked a few of his subordinates.
"Didn't I say that the design is too beautiful? It's going to beat QQ."
"That's right. If we follow this interface design and create our instant messaging service, we'll definitely take over the market quickly."
Everyone chimed in.
But Li Nan shook his head, "It's too naive to think that we can take over the market with just one interface. Have you forgotten how UC died?"
Everyone felt a little awkward after hearing this.
At that time, they were full of lofty aspirations and thought that they could compete with QQ. Unfortunately, they died prematurely.
"Brother Nan, I think that Boss Chen's design is not only beautiful, but it's also easy to understand. It's very convenient."
"Oh, go on. How convenient?"
"How should I put it? I think that even if someone who has never touched a computer before, he will know how to operate it after familiarizing himself with it."
"Yes, you're right."
His subordinate's reply made Li Nan overjoyed.
He finally understood what was so special about this interface design.
The best thing about this interface design wasn't its beauty or simplicity, but its logic.
This kind of logic allowed one to immediately understand how Lenovo operated.
For example, there was a message design here. There was a loudspeaker drawn on it, indicating that there would be a message here.
Another example was the logo of a document, which represented mail.
There was a picture logo here, which meant that it was sending pictures.
There was also the logo, the button … Just by thinking about it, he could roughly understand the meaning behind it.
"That's great, brothers. Let's get to work."
"There are still a few interface designs left. Let's not let Boss Chen design for us anymore."
"Let's follow the ideas that Boss Chen gave us. We'll redesign all the original page boundaries."
This time, Li Nan was extremely excited.
He felt that he had grasped the true meaning of Internet software design.
A few days later, when Li Nan submitted all the interface designs, including the sub-interface designs, to the general manager's office, Chen Yu couldn't help but secretly nod his head. It seemed that Li Nan was indeed talented. The inspiration that he gave him a few days ago was not in vain.
"Li Nan, not bad. These designs are simple and convenient. They're much better than the previous designs."
"Boss Chen, don't tease me. I also designed them under your inspiration. The interface design that you gave me before was simply amazing. I'm still researching it. "
"Still researching?"
"Of course I have to study it. This design contains too many philosophies."
"It's getting more and more exaggerated."
Chen Yu smiled. "Actually, it's just like that. Good software not only has to be beautiful and elegant, but it also has to take into account the human way of thinking. In other words, it has to be logical. It's just like when computers were first introduced with windows. In the beginning, there were no windows and all operations were done with codes. This kind of operation was too troublesome. Unless you were a professional, you wouldn't know how to use it. When we're developing software, we should do the same. "
"We should know that the software we develop is not for experts to use. It's for ordinary people. Even if it's for experts, they'll want it to be logical. This design involves the issue of human-computer interaction. "
"Human-computer interaction?"
"Yes, human-computer interaction is a field of knowledge that studies the interaction between humans and systems, and between humans and computers. Not only do we have to understand computers ourselves, but we also have to design computers that humans can understand at a glance, including the computer system and software. In real life, this is just like this cup of mine. When I pick up this cup, you'll know at a glance that this cup can be used to hold water and can be used to drink water. If you design a cup and you don't know where to put the water, then it's obvious that your cup is a failure. "
"Therefore, in the future, our software not only has to implement various functions, but we also have to think from the perspective of the user. Do they like this function? Do they need it? Is it convenient for them to use it? Is there a more convenient way to operate it? "
In fact, this field of knowledge did not require any special discussion in the future.
Because in the mobile Internet era of the future, UI design was already a problem that countless people understood.
It was just that the traditional Internet had just emerged. Many of the theories of the future were not clear and thorough.
But now, under Chen Yu's constant guidance, Li Nan was able to see the sun. All the things that he couldn't figure out were suddenly cleared up.
"Ah, Li Nan, why are you still here?"
"Boss Chen, I want to continue listening to your inspiration."
"Uh …"
Chen Yu's face was covered in tears.
This guy is addicted to listening to me.
How can that be?
I'm only at this level. If I continue, there's no need to say so much.
However, he still had to finish his act. Chen Yu said calmly, "The knowledge of computers and the Internet is as vast as the ocean. Even if we spend our entire lives on it, we may not be able to finish talking about it, explain it thoroughly, and research it thoroughly. If you want to become the best among them, you have to personally dive into the vast ocean, observe it, and practice it. "
"Thank you, Boss Chen, for your guidance."
