Stellar
Stellar is an app that lets people create photo and video stories.
Stellar是一款让人们创造图片和视频故事的APP
Lists are wonderful for two things, links in a navigation and legitimate text lists of items. Stellar uses a picture based list for the navigation of its various categories (they call them collections). It’s a recent design trend to place list items on a neat background image. Images are great visualizations so when it comes to lists, they go hand in hand. Additionally, images usually help make wonderful user experience aids. It seems like a fitting choice for this app as Stellar is a picture based app. When you want to browse through the collections you are presented with a navigation, naturally. Each collection uses a beautiful photograph as its background. The idea to use images as background for individual collections is so simple, almost obvious, but still a good idea, nonetheless. Images are powerful, so why not utilize them for a more powerful navigation.
列表适合在两种情况下使用，一种是导航链接，另一种是有规律的文本列表项目。Stellar使用基于图片的列表作为其各种品类的导航（人们称这个为群集）。近期的设计趋势是将列表项置于整齐的背景图上。图像的视觉呈现效果很好，因此当它和列表设计在一起时，二者相得益彰。此外，图像通常用来帮助提升用户体验，对于Stellar这款基于图片的APP而言，这样做似乎是个合适的选择。当你想要很自然地浏览通过导航展示在面前的各类群集时，每个群集都采用一副漂亮的图片作为背景。尽管使用图像作为单个群集背景的的方案非常简单、显而易见，但仍旧是个好主意。图像是很有冲击力的，所以为什么不把图像用作更有冲击力的导航呢？
Images are much more powerful than words alone. Used as a navigation aid, they also help engage users more. Take a look at those collection images and tell me you are not interested in seeing more. Using good quality images also makes for a more delightful experience; people enjoy high quality photographs. Furthermore, if Stellar uses photos from their users they embrace the community. It’s a great gesture from the app to show their users they care about them. If a photo from your story was used you’d feel so great that your photo representing a whole collection. It’s a great feeling; it’s called delight and joy.
图像比单独的文字更有冲击力。作为导航辅助，图像也让用户易于理解。看一看那些群集图像，然后告诉我你是不是希望看到更多呢？人们喜欢高质量的图像，因此使用高质量的图像还可以打造更愉快的体验。此外，如果Stellar使用从用户那里收集的图像，他们就具有了社会属性。对于一款APP而言，表现出关心他们的用户，是一种很重要的态度。如果你故事中的一张图片被采用了，你会因为你的照片代表了一整个群集而感到很高兴。这感觉很棒，这就是所谓的快乐和喜悦感。
Take away:Images are a wonderful way to improve the user experience of something so trivial like a list of links.
总结：对于那些像超链列表那样的琐碎条目，图像作为提升用户体验而言，是一种很好的方法。
