Research On User Interface Icon Design

User interface and icon design is a new development in the field of human-computer interface. Icons as interactive visualization tools have been vigorously developing, but more or less long been an icon of the research has been neglected, even though studies have only focused on the field of psychology, research design involves less. However, in practice a direct decision icon design icon can assume corresponding interactive features. Icon in the computer user interface design to give new content, it is different from other graphic symbols, one way to show the difference between different icons, the second is constrained by the display carrier bottleneck.In this paper, the icon for the current vague understanding of the prevalence, first define the concepts studied in this paper icon, icon design starting point clear visual oriented, explains the purpose and significance of the study of visual icon design factors and user awareness. From the perspective of icon design, the use of semiotics, the theory of cognitive psychology on the basis of in-depth study of the icon, the icon of cognitive characteristics, functional characteristics and effect analysis, and combined with icon design metaphor, the function of the icon research and summarized, so that the visual language of symbols to icons such information quickly and accurately convey to the public and consumers. Finally, the aesthetic trends and future development of icon-depth analysis. Therefore, this paper has a strong icon design theory and practical value for the icon to play a role in promoting the use of the interface, so that more good icons to convey information, and ultimately improve the practical efficiency of the user interface icons in function to play guide the user’s role.Based on the summary of existing research, summed up the icon design methods and principles, combined with icon design principles Android2.0environment, with examples analysts pointed out the pros and cons icon in the creative, visual performance practices and other aspects. Similar icons for the current user error icon prone to summarize, in order to better guide icon design. And proposed possible future icon design trends.
