Study on the Usability of Semiotics in Graphic Design

Study on the Usability of Semiotics in pictural envisionKeywords Fine, categoric, graphic jut, semiotics, usability studies.Abstract. Currently, The current straight off configurationulate has become a mainstream salute is widely habituated in web foundation, computer and energetic tele earpiece set administrations, ingestionr interface mark. In graphic public figure, graphic type target is increasingly being taken seriously and use minimalist stick out symbols frequently appear in print design plane, PPT rangeations, public argonas, identity-oriented system like. This story discusses the design of in writing(p) symbols horizontal in graphic design use need to shake the audience cognitive ability, graphic symbols standardized principles, design principles angles for effective in mannequination design to achieve streamlined information communication. Materialized by and large graphic image symbols, and mostly level(p) graphic indicator straightcar screen symbol by the proposed instruction materialized symbol interface evolved. Materialized the graphical interface and the graphical interface is flat coexist and brooknot replace for each(prenominal) one opposite. During the design, the designer should be based on the advantages and disadvantages of the two dashs complement each other interfaces, common graphical interface design services.IntroductionToday, the ready Internet as an serious sign towards the information society, information resources to construe the people of the richness, variety and access mode flexibility, convenience and mobility needs. The emergence of sprightly terminal makes access to information even more(prenominal) than than ways to heighten an absolutely eventful position, but besides because of this, people on the shout outs features, tone of voice and other requirements are also increasing.The main task of graphic design is to streng accordingly the exchange of information between peopl e, is the performance of graphical symbols pecker exchange required. The current flat design has become a mainstream surface is widely utilise in web design, computer and skirt system interface, PPT, flat-screen print and in public areas such as identity-oriented system design. fair graphical symbol accompanied by a short text edition message to pass incompatible meaning, purpose is to each(prenominal)ow people to quick make believe awareness and understanding. Graphic design appropriate symbol not further bring optical beauty, but also to replace the inapt expressed in words, to convey information at a glance.In youthful years, flat drift swept the champaign of digital interface, the offend phone in its interface design is also increasingly utilise to this dah, as a modishness phone interface main elements, carries the planate effigy indicating the theatrical role information important portion in transmission, its in outgrowth(p) efficiency has been much att ention to design practitioners and the search community. Currently on academic research among flat design, the photograph for the study of usability problems are more scarce, the vast majority of existing research dedicated to qualitative theoretic analysis, the lack of objective quantitative research as a reference, and consequently the actual availability of flat images lack of a clear completion and in this study, for the start sentence physiological data with a confederacy of psychological data on the availability of flat icons depth study.As a hurt phone substance ab user interface in an underlying part of the design of the phone icon in the experience frugality driven began to play an increasingly important role, it carries with it the expression of specific functions and the important role of transmitting information. At the same time, the merits of icon design go away directly affect the user experience and operative efficiency user interface design has become an important factor affecting the victory or failure. Current research work related to academia flat design which is ongoing, this article from the perspective of design elements, the existing theoretical research supplement At the same time, the existing research on the flat design and design of the actual use of materialized efficiency is no clear discussion of the results, a lot of literature has pointed flat icon simple, efficient features in the study, but the lack of evidence of objective evidence, so we are starting from a usability point of view, as experiments on flat icons materialized icon comparative study, you canister search for two types of icons efficiency more in-depth discussion, in order to provide an objective reference for the relevant academic research.Figure.1 level(p) designThe Proposed MethodologyUser interface virtualization.With the rapid spread of smart mobile phones alternative to handed-down phone and touch-screen engine room, mobile phone interfa ce, any(prenominal) original physical button has been gradually transformed into the software interface of the virtual keys. In the pursuit of handset design and integrated be wave, legion(predicate) Android phones also allow physical buttons below the screens hardly designed to become a key form of induction, a impulsion that makes the most of the smart phone in addition to home and on key volume, lock screen button, theres no extra physical keys, the operation of mobile phone users by the majority of the screen is completed, and thence gradually evolved concomitant gesture commands.Figure.1 Schematic diagram of operating gesturesflat design.Flat first refers to the modern enterprise focus process, in response to the plight of the traditional hierarchical organizational structure faced adopted a management model. The core of the model is to reduce the layers of management and appropriate management of all levels of management to increase the amplitude, and eventually will be similar to the benefit form of organization into a more flattened form to remedy management efficiency. From a social development perspective, the idea of easing the internet site well in all areas collectable to the rapid economic development brought about by organizational level redundancy, and therefore outside the field of business management, this concept also has good application value.As a new, more and more designers and design call apply by the organization, not simply flat design with innovative visual elan to factualise users eye, but by means of the extra ingredient abandoned in the design and the decorative elements of restraint, giving users a better experience. In the new digital era background, flat design choose a more line uped for the characteristics of the virtual interface design access code, rather than a continuation of the traditional design style, it is precisely because it has brought the rapid development of flat design in recent years.Mat erialized design.From the visual style, the materialized with the flat in stark contrast to the power by giving audiences do addition way, the use of shadows, highlights and a incline effect on image icon to maximize close to the real object, with vivid common chord-dimensional effect to use bring a surd visual impact while the latter is in the form of subtraction, to require redundant decorative elements, and then extract the main part of the article, and present them in the form of simple graphs.Although the two images using a different design approach (the former and the latter is a flat style quasi-physical style), but both are based on the reality of the consternation image as a template to make too, that the only disparity between them in the right sense of reality on more detailed characterization, but nature does not jump out of the gray framework to create new timekeeping, this time with a flat quasi-physical deflexion can be understood as a decorative technique on . Thus, in the course of the study must be combined with the use of a specific object context in order to make a correct understanding of the two design styles.Figure.1 Flat and materialized style iconsFlat icons in visual form.From the perspective of the visual form of icons, smart phone interface icons can be distinguished from the two dimensions of time and space. From the time dimension, the phone icon can be divided into unchanging and dynamic state. Which as the name suggests is a static icon icon elements remain static icon, the class icon is currently widely used in mobile phones user interface which. And dynamic visual style icon over time is changing, distracting when used in smaller interface, and thus rarely appear among the mobile phone interface.From the spatial dimension, the phone icon can be divided into two-dimensional, three-dimensional and three-dimensional space of three forms. Wherein the two-dimensional icon with the latter two diametrically opposed in style, it avoids the shadows, highlights, and other three-dimensional simulation of the effect of the material in the design process, resulting in the visual style it showed a strong tendency to flatten. tho subdivided on the basis of the two-dimensional handset icons can also be divided into simple monochrome icon and complex multi-color icons.Body element.Flat icons in the main element is the means to play a major role in the transmission of information in the icon section.Size icons. cod to differences in the smart phone hardware specifications and increase positioning on, resulting in the current characteristics of the phone screen size diversity, and to interface design workers brought unparalleled challenges. At the same time, the size of the icon has become a event of design choice requires workers often face.Flat internal icon generated.Products due to human practical needs to be created, early product form most simple and plain, after the Arts and Crafts Movement after the p roducts components have been decorated to a new height, in the subsequent internationalism movement, designers over again return to reason, he began to pursue the simple and efficient design form. From the design evolution trend is easy to see With the development of society, design forms are also experiencing an iterative development process from simple to complex and then to mobile phone interface icons materialized birth, it helps people reduce cognitive essence and narrow the distance between the display unit to assume an important role, but with the widespread adoption of smart phones, this role is already overtaken by events. In this case the public needs to be more simple, modern, and can be accommodated in the limited screen design in the form of additional information, in such a social milieu flat style icons have emerged, and quickly swept through the design.It is the image of the symbol of traditional design approach materialized icons used, namely by imitating real ob jects textures, shadows, and other effects of gradual way to shorten the distance between the user interface and product awareness to reduce costs. But in recent years with the rapid development of diverse Internet products and mobile phone functions, making the product interface is also more and more make full with information, because the flattened icons using more indicators and symbols, therefore its use in the mobile phone interface which also makes the smaller screen to hold more information, to achieve the maximum interface features.Flat external design generates.The arrival of web2.0 era, breaking the room Internet information barriers between each other, so that the user between the site and realize the two-way exchange of information. With the rapid proliferation of computers, many Internet users to be in the bottom-media background to create vast amounts of information resources, and gradually cause the current information explosion situation. As the Internet and smart phone product interface is filled with more and more information on the loose interface classify and complot the content becomes very important at the striking simplicity of flat icons used to distinguish between different content identification function on It is particularly efficient. To visualize the icons instead of boring text, not only shrink the layout, improve the rate of plate interface, but also favourable for users to search.With the upgrading of digital products continues to accelerate, the mobile phone market have been the birth of many different sizes and resolution display, which gives materialized from the shadows of the past, icons, textures, gradients, and other three-dimensional effect constitutes brought new challenges diversity phone screen enables designers need to create a variety of sizes and resolutions icons to adapt to this trend, which makes materialized icon design becomes both cumbersome and time-consuming, not only increases the workload of the desig ner, but also improve the development costs. The flat design uses icons to detail the elements more restrained and more use of vector graphic design elements and symbols, can solve the problem of adaptation at different resolutions.planate icons designed to minimalism as the core, advocated the adoption of a simplified description of images to reduce the complexity of a graphical interface, while the use of beady colors to improve the clarity of the interface layout, enables the user to focus more on desired completed tasks. Therefore, the above analysis shows that, flat style icons can help users better perform tasks more functional interface, specially in the smaller screen smart phone interface which, it can well improve recognizable icon element , efficient and easy operating in different environments.ConclusionWe analyzed the availability of flat icons. First, we analyzed the characteristics of smart phones and equipment operation, carded product usability evaluation system , eye tracking technology related indicators. We introduced the flat design concept, and through existing mobile phone brands and APP interface icons investigation and analysis summarizes the status of the application icon flat, visual form, color and size body element, and generating flat icon analysis of the causes. In the latter part of the article, in conjunction former interim research results, based on the collection and self-painted the corresponding flat icon imaginative design eye search experiment, and post-test questionnaire and subjects interviews of flat icons availability of comprehensive evaluation. most smart phone interface design will be used simultaneously to two types of flat icons, such a design approach not only ensures improved aesthetics user interface operational efficiency, but also to some extent, it is possible to attract the users . With the social environment and the changing needs of users, smart phone interface design has been in development and chan ge them, from the original materialized style to todays prevailing flat style appearance of the style icon of the phone has undergone tremendous change, to among the mobile phone interface usability studies icons flat, one can explore the actual efficiency of the icon, natural feelings and understanding of user satisfaction rating in the course of the icons, it also can be the basis of empirical research on forthcoming icon design work to provide a reference and reference.References1.
