Abstract

Based on the analysis of the aesthetic properties of the interface elements layout, the aesthetic factors in the layout are comprehensively considered. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to establish a comprehensive evaluation model for the aesthetic system based on gray theory. This model overcomes the arbitrariness and subjectivity of evaluation by the combination of quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis, and realizes a scientific, reasonable and comprehensive evaluation of interface layout aesthetics. Finally, comprehensive aesthetic evaluation software of the layout design of the interface elements is designed and compiled, which avoids massive artificial mathematical problems in the evaluation.
