A Semiotic Study On Flat Interface Design

How to allow users in the fragmented time for efficient operation and get a good user experience is "design" is trying to solve the problem in the rapid development of science and technology and the pace of life today.Smart phones or mobile devices(electronic products)become the new standard of the new human with the fourth medium-the development of Internet media.The speed of information dissemination is like a maneuver in general.How to get the recipient in the explosive information quickly get effective information or how to seize the receiver's attention is the information sender need to consider and face the problem.Interface design in recent years in the design circle can be described as flourishing,flat interface design style to the user experience has also given the new experience of the Internet industry,Apple's products using a flat interface design,flat Design quickly spread to all areas of the design community especially in 2013.A time to form a style,as a phenomenon.Reflection of the turbulent flat interface design,carrying the aesthetic orientation of the changes and functional needs of the transformation.From the perspective of design theory(design semiotics),the interface is changed from quasi-materialized style to flattened style.Its essence is to re-code the information code.By changing the original symbol text,remove the tedious decoration,the information semantics more clearly,so that the recipient of the symbolic text decoding more accurate,From the Pierce symbol theory,it is to reproduce the iconic characters and indicators to improve the user's awareness,reduce visual impairment and visual association.The biggest highlight of the flat interface design is to optimize the hierarchical structure of the interface information.Through reasonable layout,highlighting the main information content,alleviating the user's visual fatigue and so on are the main contents of this topic discussion.It is meaningless to argue about whether the materialization and the flattening are better.The professional designer will not be interested in what kind of style to use,but how to help the user achieve the goal of using the product efficiently.
