How to draw beautiful GUIs?

Question

Arduino

Hello. I wonder how people manage to draw very beautiful and aesthetic graphical interfaces on TFT and IPS displays?

How to capture the essence of beautiful UI design? People on simple pebbles like atmega328 do wonders, but here even on STM32 it doesn’t work out very well. What can you read in order to improve your skill in this direction? There is an experience of graphical interfaces only in PyQT, in QT Designer, but it’s still simple there ... But how can it be, somehow it’s gemorno to draw everything pixel-by-pixel ...

Answer 1

It's from nature. Either you have taste and imagination or not. If what you make up looks bad, just copy it from others.

How to capture the essence of beautiful UI design?

Just like in everything else - learning
is a separate profession and science, there are a lot of books, articles and other things, how to make convenient buttons, how to display information so that it is clear how to arrange elements so that the monster does not come out, why and how to apply animations, typography and all other things.
Reading an article or two and starting to do cool things will not work, of course. Although the minimum things that will already improve the interface can be figured out pretty quickly.
The fact that you have to do it all for microcontrollers gives its own specifics, but not much - remember that for most of the history of building interfaces, people dealt with screens that were not much better.

1. Priorities of indicators in display grid locations
2. Color design.
3. Adjustment with the addition of controls.
4. After - already graphic design.

Answer 4

1. It is necessary to clearly understand what needs to be displayed on the screen first of all, what is second, what is in large numbers, what is small, in what places on the screen it should be. It's not about design, it's about usability.
2. Design - the placement and type of elements, the use of color - so that on the one hand it does not hit beauty for the sake of beauty, on the other - so that it is not too minimalistic.
3. You need to show different people and that they give honest feedback.
4. Well, just read and absorb information on design in general - and draw. It is advisable to communicate with Prof. designers to explain what is good. what is bad and why. Their decisions will also be controversial, but you can catch the ideas.

Answer 5

Experience and only experience. For example, to create a beautiful website design, first of all, you need to see with your own eyes 100500+ other site variations, and in order to take a little bit from everyone and make your own and better.
Not a single invention has yet been created without any examples (from "nothing").
In other words, look at the GUI examples, which shows what and how and everything connected with it, and in the process, of course, you try to create something of your own, without the first step there will be no thousandth / final.
