"Excellent!"

At the end of the work report, Zhang Fan tried the operation of the Android beta version under Wu Ge's explanation.

The new pagination interface and double-layer structure are completely different from the style of Symbian and Apple IOS, and he also saw what the real Android was like for the first time.

"This time clock display is quite intuitive, by the way, can you add a weather forecast and a perpetual calendar?"

Wu Ge nodded excitedly: "Hmm! Wang Kai mentioned before that it is not difficult to design this small plug-in...... Boss, you see, the time display page is equivalent to the desktop of the Windows system, and you can drag this page of common programs. Press the upward triangle in the middle to enter the second level, which is equivalent to opening 'My Computer' and various programs are displayed in it, some similar to a drawer......"

"......, this is the setting option, and the program management center of the Windows system, you can view the memory usage, add and delete programs, change the ringtone of the phone, etc., ......"

"And the desktop wallpaper is replaceable, you can put the landscape or family photos you took on the desktop......"

"Hmm." While Zhang Fan was making various attempts, he listened to Wu Ge's excited explanations, and a lot of inspiration and modifications flashed in his mind.

Wu Ge smiled: "I just read Gao Tingting's LOGO design concept, and I think I can redesign the UI......"

"What does UI mean?" Zhang Fan asked. He'd also heard some UI inquiries on the radio.

"UI can be simply understood as 'user interface', and if you compare the system to an adult, UI is clothing."

Wu Ge explained: "UI design refers to the overall design of human-computer interaction, operation, interface, etc. For example, Gao Ting's LOGO contains many elements and meanings. A well-designed UI can not only improve the smoothness of our system, but also highlight the user's taste. Of course, the most important thing is to make the system simpler, more comfortable and closer to life! ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Fan praised with a smile: "I also want to say." A few modification ideas flashed through my mind just now, but I don't know much about the system software, so let's see if it can be used. When it is built, it is good. ”

"1. I think the operational aspect is too complicated. Why design a second drawer when you can put your favorite programs on your desktop? We young people have used computers to learn very quickly, but older users are a little confused. What I'm doing is to put all the programs on the desktop. Isn't it possible to split the screen on the desktop? ”

"The first page can be used to display the time and weather forecast, and the second screen can be used to place other programs that are not commonly used, or a 'text jiàn folder' can be designed to classify them."

"Well, the boss is very good." The surrounding software technicians nodded their heads. When most people operate a computer, the most commonly used is actually the desktop, since it can be placed on the desktop, why do you need such a complicated drawer design.

Zhang Fan waited for Wu Ge to finish taking notes and said, "I'll talk about the second point, Sister Tingting, you can also listen to it." I may not be right on that. ”

"What?" Gao Tingting and other designers came over.

Zhang Fan said with a smile: "What I just said is the operation of intercommunication, in fact, the intelligence of the mobile phone does not mean that it has big functions, but what kind of convenient experience it can bring to users." If the operation of the mobile phone itself is complicated, it is not as convenient as the feature phone. ”

(Everyone nods.) ）

"For some other details, I hope you will consider it more from the perspective of users."

"What I'm talking about below is a unified UI design. Wu Ge also mentioned this point just now, and my personal opinion is to be flat. At the meeting, we talked about the definition of the company's products: simple, fashionable, and youthful. Flattening is to remove the cumbersome design effect and highlight the design elements, just like the LOGO designed by Sister Tingting. ”

"Gao Ting, I heard that flat design originated from the Swedish graphic design style in the 50s, right?"

The other designers were half-understood, and Gao Tingting looked at Zhang Fan in surprise: "You know this?" ”。

"I've looked up some information on the Internet recently." Zhang Fan nodded with a smile.

……

In fact, he learned about these contents in the future broadcast, and in one of the broadcasts the host said: '2013 Apple WWDC conference', and flattening was the design theme of that conference.

While the two hosts were ridiculing, they also talked about the development history of flat design by the way.

According to the broadcast content: Apple launched a new IOS7 system in 2013, and all UI adopts a flat design, which is a subversion for the entire industry!

Zhang Fan feels that Xinghuo wants to become famous in one fell swoop and lay the foundation of a high-end brand at one time, in addition to software, hardware, time grasp, application support, the design concept must also be strongly subversive!

Only when all of these come together can we create a good impression of a 'genuine' or 'high-end product'.

"I'm underestimating you!" Gao Tingting sat down and said: "What you just said is right, flattening comes from the Swedish design style, and this aspect was my major when I was studying in Canada, and you can see that my LOGO has a shadow of this." ”

"......, around the end of the 50s, the Swedish style flowed into the United States, causing a lot of controversy in the local design industry, and later because the design ideas were too abstract, they were generally only used in artistic expression and altitude advertising. Zhang Fan, do you really plan to use flattening as the main UI design? ”

"Why not?" Zhang Fan turned the ballpoint pen and said: "Your LOGO is flat, and the design of my mobile phone also tends to be concise. ”

"Moreover, we will face young and fashionable groups in the future, and we will be different if we want to do it. We're not copycats. ”

As soon as I spoke, both software and designers around me were in high spirits.

Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Gao Ting, it's up to you to do this." UI design: You communicate more with the design department and Wu Ge. ”

Everyone nodded, and at this time, Zhou Yang came in eating a cup of cream ice cream: "Still chatting?" Okay boss, you also let everyone relax and relax. My promise has come, come with me if you want to eat! ”

In the hall, boxes of ice cream of various flavors were carried out of the car, the men helped carry them, and the girls sat in the lounge and ate sweetly.

Zhang Fan took a box of chocolate flavors and handed it to Gao Tingting: "The reward is delivered." Suddenly caused a burst of laughter, Tingting was about to bite the corner of her lower lip, and a special feeling leaked out of her heart.

……

In the afternoon, the Starry Sky Move began.

The new office is located on Pengcheng Commercial Road East, only three stops away from Wangjiang. The office building, called Yasheng Building, was completed in 1993 with a construction area of 61,500 square meters.

It was a landmark at the time, but with the rapid development of modern society, old-fashioned buildings like this have been submerged in the forest.

The reason why this place was chosen as the office location is that the price is cheap, the environment is relatively quiet, and it is close to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Most of the Spark employees live in nearby residential buildings, so employees can save a lot of money on transportation costs when they get to work.

Upon learning that the Spark Company had officially moved in, a small welcome ceremony was held at the property of the building.

"Boss, this is General Manager Zhao."

"Hello Brother Zhao."

"Fortunately, I have been hearing that Mr. Zhang ...... these days", Manager Zhao of Yasheng Property threw himself at Zhou Yang and said suddenly: "You are the son of Mr. Zhou of Pengfa Group?" ”

"Pengfa Group?" Some people set their sights on Zhou Yang. Pengfa Real Estate is second only to Wanzhou in Pengcheng, and the two are not as famous as each other!

"Hey, it looks like I can't hide it." Zhou Yang smiled: "Brother Zhao and my dad know each other? ”

"No, no, I'm lucky enough to have seen it." Manager Zhao was delighted, and after passing by Zhang Fan, he couldn't help but think about it.

After a period of pleasantries, the company officially moved into the studio.

Xinghuo's studio is divided into 7 parts, two 1.2-meter-wide aisles sandwich the office area in the middle, and 5 major areas such as software, hardware, design, and management are lined up, and each employee has his or her own 2-meter private activities. Considering that it does not affect other personnel, the customer service after-sales service is located in a separate space at the end.

Across the work area is Zhang Fan's office, and the overall decoration of the space is pale white.

"Yes, there should be a reception desk here." Zhou Yang pointed to the entrance and debuted.

"Hmm." Zhang Fan was also quite satisfied, at this time he felt that his dream was no longer an ethereal thing, and he was slowly realizing it.

Zhou Yang said: "Mr. Zhao, I see that there is also a studio opposite, how about renting it to us cheaply if there is no one?" Save yourself the hassle of managing in the future. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Zhou is really?" Manager Zhao asked.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Zhou Yang asked rhetorically, and Zhang Fan nodded: "That's the case." Zhou Yang and I are going to co-run a software company, and if there is no one booking on the other side, we want to rent it. ”

"Absolutely!" Manager Zhao immediately made a decision and took them to check the space inside.

At 4 o'clock, after a busy afternoon, the company's various handling work was completed, and Zhang Fan left Feng Hong, Li Li, Wu Ge and other original team members to hold a meeting in the office.

……

Chairman's Office.

There was a faint chemical smell left in the air, Zhang Fan opened the window, and the breeze blew through the six people.

"What do you think of the new arrivals?" Sitting back on the rotating chair, Zhang Fan looked at them with a restrained smile.

Suddenly, Feng Hong, Li Li, Li Jianguo and others had their hearts beat sharply!
