The Application Of Flattering Method In The Design Of Cellphone Theme

Nowadays people spend much time on cellphones. They browse news, watch photos andvideos and use Apps of entertainment, life and health. So it is necessary to develop thefunctions of the cellphone, formulate interaction form and design user interface according tothe need of users. The aim of studying the theme of the cellphone is to conclude thecharacteristics, emotion, habit, psychology demand of the users in order to formulate thereasonable interaction form and suitable user interface as well as to connect the applicationprogram of the cellphone with user’s experience fluently, serving them in a better way. Forexample, if we have two cellphones which are completely same on technology, function andappearance, the one which has better and reasonable user interface and interaction form mustbe popular among the users.The methods of survey, design and creation, analyzing literature and empirical study areused in this thesis. The method of survey provides basic gist to applying flattening design tothe research and development of cellphone theme by way of planned and purposeful survey.Using the method of analyzing literature to study the theme of the cellphone with the aim offinding the advantages and developing trend of flattening design, we present the flatteningdesign to the users by way of applying cellphone app icons. The method of empirical study isused to confirm the direction of the development of flattening design on cellphone app iconsand widen the value of the connection of flattening design, theme of cellphone and thecellphone app icons. Using the method of design and creation mixing with special techniquesto explain the function of cellphone app icons towards the space expansion in variousbackgrounds, we try to present a colorful world of cellphone theme.The design of cellphone interface is so complex, therefore flattening design is verypopular. More and more practitioners begin to agree to this designing method which ispresented completely in the work of designing cellphone app icons. A clear structure and areasonable overall arrangement are helpful to the understanding and using the cellphone bythe users. So it is necessary for the practitioners of this field to learn how to apply flatteningdesign to cellphone app icons. This thesis concludes the principle of flattening design of cellphone app icons to five parts, including simplifying app icons, arranging reasonableoverall arrangement, highlighting the comparison of colors, weakening the levels of app iconsand reducing visual effects.The presentation of cellphone app icons is changeable. The flattening design, theflattening design-to-be and other methods of designing app icons are similar during thedesigning process, that is to say it is not so difficult to design reasonable cellphone app iconsif you grasp the designing process of app icons.This thesis discusses those five designing principles, five stages of designing app icons,the way of designing flattening app icons and the flattening design-to-be elaborately, pointingout the difficulties and the main points. The main points are the creation methods of graspingmono-lines app icons, cucoloris app icons, seal app icons, long shadow app icons, projectionapp icons, gradual changing app icons. The difficulties are the degree of simplifying the appcions, arranging the overall arrangement of the app icons in a reasonable way, and adjustingthe colors.The flattering design of cellphone theme is very popular nowadays because it cantransfer the function and information of the cellphone clearly and definitely. With thedevelopment of the software and hardware of the cellphone, the amount of informationcoming from the cellphone table is increasing. The flattering design can bear systeminformation to the largest degree within a limited space, helping users to acquire their neededmaterials in a short time, and this is the reason why people focus on the flattering design.Above all, the flattering design of cellphone theme brings good visual sense andinteraction experience to cellphone users, and the future of it is optimistic. The practitionersof this field may try to understand this method and apply it in the practice, widening the valueof usage while contributing one’s own power to the method of designing cellphone theme.
