It's better to learn design than to learn [**editing]. The reason is very simple, easy to learn (unlike other industries with high learning costs and difficulty), suitable for short-term 3-4 months of short-term study, and the industry gap is very large, whether it is looking for a job or taking private orders at home, the monthly income is easily over 10,000, and 20,000 or 30,000 is also commonplace.

Because of the rise of [short**] now, any enterprise, any studio or individual needs to make a large number of clips to package the brand, post Douyin, send Moments, send ** and other self-** channels to display. Because new content is updated and released every day, there is simply not enough editors to recruit, and the imbalance between supply and demand has caused editors to pay high salaries.

And the editing technology does not require superb computer technology, nor does it require artistic attainments, it is basically a fixed routine, what style of film you want, what rhythm you want, you can easily master it after three or four months of training.

I don't regret having worked in design. Design is a lifelong skill, whether you are pursuing a career in design for life or choosing to change careers later, having design skills can help you in a competitive workplace.

Graphic design work is a subjective creative work, and most graphic designers do further education and improve their design ability through continuous self-education. For example, you should pay more attention to the design techniques of various posters, promotional materials, magazines, books, etc., and collect them, or browse the works of other designers on the Internet to inspire your own design.

Graphic designers must have a keen sense of beauty, but they must also have a certain literacy for words. Therefore, you can read widely to increase your knowledge and text sensitivity. In addition, graphic designers often use online communities to exchange ideas.

There is no regret medicine in the world for sale. Before choosing to be a graphic designer, I must have made my own choice. Now that you have chosen, don't regret it.

1. Be good at thinking.

As a designer, you must first learn to be good at thinking, have your own ideas, dare to try, and dare to innovate. Don't retreat before you start trying, for fear that you can't do well, don't give up because you don't have a good idea, so that you can never improve yourself, you must know that no one can do a good job all at once, every designer is from the beginning of the idea to try, a little bit of progress, to boldly explore and realize their ideas.

2. Pay attention to life.

To do design, we must first learn to see more, if you just blindly cover your head and design, do not communicate with the outside world, you can only work behind closed doors, and your thinking must be limited for a long time, so you must appreciate some of the excellent works of others on weekdays, cultivate your own art appreciation ability, and in the process of seeing, study the places worth learning in the works, and remember to collect the works that you think are more excellent. Maintain a curiosity about life, always discover and photograph something special, and think about transforming it into your own work.

3. Practice more.

There are no shortcuts to design, and repeated and extensive practice is the norm. If you don't practice enough, you won't be able to improve your design skills, even if you have a talent for design. Therefore, if you want to quickly improve your design ability, you must practice more and more steadily.

4. Long-term persistence.

Only long-term persistence can have an excellent level of design. Only designers can experience the joy of being immersed in creation for a long time. When you take the time to create a work that you are satisfied with, it is especially rewarding.

Since you have chosen the profession of designer, you must be patient and work hard.

If you want to learn graphic design, whether you are self-taught or take a training course, you need a systematic way of learning, and the one that suits you is the best.

1.Learn the commonly used graphic design software, such as PS, AI, CDR, indesign, etc.

2.Learn the basics of color theory, hue, brightness, saturation, adjacent colors, contrasting colors, etc., and master common color matching skills.

3.Master the basic attributes and characteristics of fonts, learn to choose appropriate fonts according to the creative theme, and then extend the learning of font design.

4.Understand the basic properties of patterns, graphics, and images, as well as common processing methods, including the composition rules of graphic creation, such as: the plane composition of the three major components.

5.To learn the industry knowledge of different carrier media, such as traditional print graphic design, you need to master some printing knowledge, learn the direction of web UI design, you need to understand the specifications of iOS and Android, and interactive experience.

After getting started, there is mastery, how to master it?

Graphic design, after all, is an industry that needs to think more, practice more, and try more, designers are different from ordinary people, with a unique professional and forward-looking vision to look at problems, solve problems, and try to discover novel things in the small things around them, and on the basis of software, summarize and enrich their own visual library, so that the inspiration for design will be endless, and the practical operation again and again can improve their comprehensive ability.

1. Gradually reduce the amount of material used.

The reason why your drawings are becoming more and more ordinary is probably because you just blindly apply the fixed template, but leave your brain and creativity behind. Learn to think with your brain, at the end of the day, a template is just a rough reference, something to help you with your creativity. Therefore, if you want to improve your design level, you must force yourself not to move the hard set, so as to reduce the number of materials after use, and over time, your brain will slowly operate, don't let it be idle, you will enjoy the sense of achievement of this creation.

2. Improve aesthetics.

What if you can't think of a design solution in your head? A large part of it comes from your own low aesthetic perception, that is, you see less and naturally have less things in your head. In my free time, I look at those excellent works, instead of being full of ordinary materials.

When you appreciate more and more excellent works, your aesthetics will also improve, and the creativity you can think of in your mind will be better. There are also a lot of excellent album change products, petals, and the station is cool.

3. Self-denial and criticism.

Many designers are very narcissistic, and they always feel that what they design is good, and that will ruin your path to success. Compare excellent works with your own works, and there is no harm if there is no comparison. To have the tenacity of the current design, it must be better than the previous design.

If you don't improve, you don't see clearly what level your ability is, and you don't have a good understanding of what your work is.

4. Don't stay home.

What is a state office? It's a design that works hard and works behind closed doors. Learn to communicate, ask questions if you don't understand.

Although most designers are not very extroverted, knowing some basic interpersonal relationships is a skill that every designer must master. Because design is not done behind closed doors, designers need to communicate with customers, understand needs, and also need to communicate with colleagues, and of course, use the Internet to communicate with other designers. As the old saying goes, there must be a teacher in a threesome, and many times some of the skills are learned by talking to other designers.

Only designers who are good at communication can improve themselves better and faster.

5. Expand the field of knowledge.

Just learn a PS and AI? Absolutely not, CDR 3D C4D UG DW A lot of 3D fonts on posters are made by 3D software, how long do you have to do it with PS? Besides, if you modify it later, you will be confused.

1. Massive picture reading to improve appreciation.

Usually there is nothing to do, you must look at the pictures more to improve your appreciation ability. A good designer must have seen more than 10,000 works. Looking at a large number of pictures, it is not to look at the flowers, but to look at the pictures with thinking.

When looking at the picture, I must learn to analyze, what elements are used in the whole **, what is the designer's creative thinking and method, if it is replaced by myself, can I make it like this or have new ideas to explore. In addition, we should also review our past works from time to time, compare them with our current works, and see if our design level has improved.

2. Imitation and innovation.

The "imitation" here does not mean to copy it all, but to imitate the essence of its interface, analyze its picture structure and color matching, and think about why it is combined in this way. If you want to improve your interface design skills, you also need to redesign the theme. Putting aside the inherent style and elements, while keeping the theme unchanged, we can recreate the design by ourselves, and we can transform the excellent points into our own works and add our own creative elements.

3. Professional ability and knowledge development.

If an excellent UI designer, aesthetic ability is soft power, then professional ability is hard power. Even a small business card design also contains your sense of aesthetics, typography, creativity, etc., and it is also a great test of professional skills. When you do more and more design, more and more handy, you need to integrate the previous very scattered things, combined into a whole, not only to have a global thinking, but also to have the ability to deal with local details, you need to improve your professional skills through continuous learning, create value for yourself, and enhance your market competitiveness.

At the same time, it is also necessary to do a good job in the accumulation and expansion of knowledge other than design, such as social communication, psychological analysis, negotiation skills, etc. Because in practical work, UI designers should not only understand customer needs, but also analyze the project as a whole, not only to let customers recognize your professionalism, but also to let customers recognize you as a person.

If you want to improve your interface design ability, you still need to be down-to-earth and keep practicing.

1. Systematic learning of graphic design, contact with professional graphic design knowledge, can not only rely on self-experience summary, so slow progress and clueless, easy to keep in a wrong place, no professional instructor to take some professional books to read, more design cases, design ideas, design principles and other theoretical knowledge, do not just look at design software and design technology tutorials, or go to some professional design companies to work.

2. Try to break through your own style, you can also practice some simple designs in your spare time, and no longer use the old methods to design, try some other styles, and copy the design you like first.

3. Don't blindly compare the design level with others, the design itself is divided into various styles, there is no distinction between high and low styles, and you see good design works and design masters after all, most of them are unknown designers.

4. To do design, we must try to broaden our horizons and dare to take risks, and it is not a problem to stay at home, but to narrow our vision at home is a problem.

5. Having an art foundation can help you make a design style choice, if you don't have it, it's just a lack of design ideas, which has no impact on graphic design, but it is relatively convenient to have a little art foundation.
