3 If you are a white person, and the software will not be used, then learn the software first, start messing around with PS, read the basic tutorials first, or buy the book, or read the free ps tutorials online.
4 first master some of the core functions:
5 shape tools and Boolean (learn to do wireframe icons, and some simple graphics, such as gears, ah, coordinates, like, and so on)
6 Layer styles (can be copied by copying the realistic icons to practice)
7 Masking (to do some of the mask, image compositing, and so on)
8 Keying ( pen key, magic wand, etc.)
9 basic layout (first copy the interface to start)
10 font awareness (install some fonts, learn to recognize some commonly used fonts, a look at what fonts)
11 something can be later in the study (channel, toning, color, etc., dealing with the technology of the studio photo is also later in the learning process, there is no hurry)
12 this time, the first time to do some masks, image compositing and so on.
12This time, first of all, do not care to do things look good, first can do it, the operation is not a problem important. Good to see that is the back of the matter, the first step to walk steadily, the software operation is the most important.
13ok, software problems on the point, I have only so many tricks. The key is still more practice, more hands, more mistakes, more summarized. If you have someone with you, you can expect to familiarize yourself with PS, AI and these 2 software programs in 1 month.

152. Improve aesthetics
16 Such problems are beginners more headaches, Hammer Technology design director Luo Zixiong gave three suggestions:
17 more look
18 In order to improve aesthetics, you need to go to a lot of other people to look at the excellent APP or web works in Dribbble, Behance, Pinterest and other design sites you can easily find a lot of excellent works.
19 In addition to UI design, graphic, photography, 3D, hand-drawn and other global top works can also be seen, find and collect them. After a period of time, review these works, if you find that the works you collected three months ago are low, congratulations, it means that your aesthetics have improved!
203.When you have seen many excellent works, you may still not be able to design, so the next thing you have to do is to keep practicing, the first stage is copying.
21 to recommend a few more design APP for copying practice: "Rhinoceros Story", "Light", "want to go", these APP design are more simple and fresh, beginners are easier to get started. At the same time, you can try to learn some of the design specifications, such as "iOS Human-Computer Interaction Guide", it is engaged in UI design workers need to master the content, it is recommended to read carefully.
22After copying a few sets of works, you can enter the second stage - Redesign. you can redesign a version of your own iOS system interface, or redesign a WeChat, adding your own ideas and concepts. If you like to play "Yin Yang Shi", you can design your own version of the Yin Yang Shi interface, or even change the characters in it.
23If you encounter a problem that you can't solve in the learning process, you should go to Baidu or Google more often, and if it's a big problem, you can break it down into smaller problems and solve them one by one.
244. In the process of watching and doing, design techniques are only a small part of learning UI, more to understand the ideas and principles behind the design. For example, why does this product define blue as the main color? Why zoom in and bold that number? What is the structure and layout of the whole page? What are the goals of the design? And so on.
