Take the recent nail design events for example

Alibaba's office software: Nail

Released a new image: Naisan Duo

Ali Zoo has added a new animal!

As a designer following the trend of the industry

Dig out the design process behind it at the first time

Take this opportunity to let you feel:

How much work it takes to design a new image

Nail Sanduo's image

Nai San Duo is a swallow

The obvious characteristics of this bird are:

A born aviator who spends most of his time flying

Even sleeping time is completed in the air

It should be the spirit of ceaseless struggle

Make the image of Nail Santuo the first choice for nails

Now that the main image has been identified

Then the next work is in the eyes of most people

This is about it

But in fact, this is not the case at all!

After determining the image, first draw the manuscript

Manuscript drawing

This process requires a lot of painting

Try various combinations of different shapes

Ordinary people may faint when they see here

Nail Sanduo Manuscript (partial)

Then select the shapes that everyone is satisfied with

This process is usually repeated many times

After all, there are many participants in a design project

It's not easy to satisfy everyone

When the main image is finally determined

Do you think it's finished?

There are also image details that need to be improved!

Refine scheme

At this time, an image can often evolve into N versions

For example:

Nail Sanduo Modeling Scheme

A baby of 30 was born!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Do you remember which was the first draft?

Anyway, I'm blind first

Color matching

After 30 different image versions are made

Now we can finalize the draft, right?

NO NO NO...

There are still 20 color schemes waiting

Nail Sanduo Color Scheme

Students who are good at mathematics can arrange and combine

See how many schemes can be produced by image+color matching

When the main image is determined

Designers can't relax

Then comes the image extension in various formats:

Design specification/image expression/3D effect

design code

In order to ensure that even if it comes from different designers

Can also make the exact same shape

Normative documents are necessary

This is also invisible to ordinary people

But it is very necessary

Nail Santuo Design Specification

Image expression design

As an official image

If there is only one expression

It certainly doesn't look lively enough

Facial expression bag is also a must

In order to make the image truly flesh and blood

Today's expression packs also need to keep up with the hot spots

Only with plot and story can we gain users' love

Image maintenance and operation is a long-term work

3D image extension

Now 3D style is popular in the design circle

Stereo visual effect is required when moving

Designers should naturally keep pace with the times

Convenient new image can be used in different places

Only when all the above work is completed

Can we say a new image of the design

Almost finished

You see, a complete design project

It just needs so much work

Every picture you can see

It is soaked by the sweat of the designer!

In addition to the complete design

A lot of detailed work is painstaking

Now, you know how hard it is to design in nails!
