I am interested to become a UI UX designer, currently still learning it and found out there's a term called Material Design for Android and IOS. I googled it and it just said there are some theme and colors requirements for doing app design. Is there anything I need to take extra note when doing the UI UX design for an app?

Any UI UX expert can help me? Thankyou very much.

I think the material design u mention is those material use to design the app/web include color, icon, motion etc.

Yeah that's what i meant, i didn't know there are so many requirements on color need to follow when designing an app, is it necessary to follow exactly all the requirements stated in the guidelines? I prefer some freedom in design but not follow exactly all the requirements there, is it ok?

U can use whatever colors u like on the design but make sure it look comfortable/harmony. But sometime u still need follow certain colors depends on what client u work for. Let's say Maybank is the client, then u probably need to use Maybank corporate yellow & black colors on the design.

Art is a way to express yourself, show your tastes and demonstrate a magnificent vision of the world! But what if the end of inspiration for new ideas? I also asked this question until I found a wonderful site Texelprintstore. I ordered the maps of the world for kids and it brought me back to life! Now every day a bright head and pure thoughts. This is a special place, a storehouse for new ideas. Everyone needs something special)

if you want to grow your career in UI UX, you should know how to use graphics design tools and also have an art to play with colors. then you can do something in this field.

U need to understand the principle of UI and UX. To learn more about UI UX go explore the company and industry. It is a demand job right now

Material design is a design system created by Google. From their website..


UI designers commonly originate from graphic design, or have been designing for any interface based environments. This can include websites, mobile app, software and more.

UX designers have normally studied Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) or Psychology. User eXperience is essentially studying, hypothesizing and proving the actions as well as behaviours which drive the intentions.

Being a UI / UX designer is exciting because you'll acquire the skills to create experiences for various environments. But I've to agree with what someone said in a UX talk that not everyone may be able to become UX designers - it requires empathy.

While I've not designed for an app, I'd start by researching the guidelines of designing apps for iOS / Android. Maybe start reading on Google about "mobile app design guidelines" and progress from there.

If you'd like to join the local community, there's UX Malaysia FB group.

If you'd like to deep dive into UX, you may want to consider an Interaction Design Foundation (IDF) membership.

There's also a ton of recommended UX books to read. A quick Google will reveal them, or you could ask the FB group members.

Hope the above information gets you pumped further about UX

I architect background. I want change to ui/UX. Can?
