Hello masters, I m a novice in graphic design, and some concepts are vague and want to figure it out

1: The output center refers to the film output company, now there are many film output companies in Guangzhou also have CTP, generally speaking, the graphic design or production of the printing plant has done a good job, such as typesetting, spelling, or other things, and then sent to the output company, the output of the company will be according to your requirements to produce a good film to you. Objectively speaking, the film output center is a ** film or CTP (** film or CTP) of the printing house

2: Inkjet refers to those inkjet companies outside, the machine they use and printing is different, printing refers to printing in inkjet companies, those displays are brighter, because they are inkjet painted, quite a printer to print color **, can be RGB display, but printing is CMYK, that is, four-color printing. At that time, the current printing development has now been more than four colors, and the rest will not be talked about.

3: Advertising agency and media company are two different concepts, depending on what kind of graphic design you plan to engage in, graphic design encompasses a wide range. If you are just starting out and planning to work in graphic design, it is best to work as an assistant or apprentice in an advertising agency or a printing house or output company.

Be open-minded and learn, ask questions without shame, be patient, careful, and serious. Also, art is important. Just come out to do graphic design, the salary will be very high, depending on your luck, if the boss of the company you enter is good, it may be higher, and the bad one is not high.

Generally, there are no more than 2,000 mosquitoes. As for the director, it is not just to that level, some people have become directors, but his skills are average, and some people have experienced skills, but they can't be directors. There are many of these variables.

Slowly you will understand.

First of all, let's introduce the concept of each noun 1, the art design major is divided into visual communication design, packaging and decoration design, which may be different names and names, and the focus of schools is different.

To learn graphic design, you need to learn the following software, the learning of software is not difficult, the difficulty is your understanding of your own work or graphic design major, whether you can be appreciated. The key is that you have to do more works, and only through accumulation can others recognize you.

Photoshop (PS) is by far the most powerful bitmap processing software, you must be very proficient, this is the basic, used to deal with the bitmap software repair **compositing**, etc.;

Illustrator (AI) is used for graphic production, typesetting and other vector graphics production software, which is also a basic must-have, because it has a wide range of uses and many materials;

Moreover, learning graphic design requires you to accumulate slowly in order to express your thoughts through your works, and this accumulation is through continuous practice accumulation and project production. You have to get these opportunities to do some business or corporate project. It is best to study graphic design by going to some related professional institutions or some vocational schools.

I think it is not only necessary to learn the basic software well, but also to communicate with everyone frequently, absorb the design experience and concepts of the technical talents here, and appreciate a large number of excellent works to improve their own aesthetics!

Let me make a few points:

First of all, it is not that you imitate it is not worth advocating, although everyone is pursuing innovation and originality, but the ability to innovate and original is based on your certain experience and level. If you find that you can't open your own mind, it means that your foundation is not good enough, and you still need to work hard and imitate learning. Another way of saying imitation is borrowing, many successful designers need to learn from a lot of other people's works before making great works, or although they don't have this specific behavior, but because of the accumulation of experience in their minds, let themselves be inspired, isn't there a saying, no matter how original the work is also borrowed from nature.

You see what design everyone is doing on the market and what styles are popular, then, the first step: you have to understand, you have to know why there is such a style, and you can do it, and know what elements will be used in the design that is close to these styles; Step 2: Jump out of these conventional thinking, set a new theme or new perspective, but to combine rational cognition (requires a lot of learning) to express your design, it can be a fusion of two styles or several techniques, rather than emotional imagination (there is still a difference between designers and artists).

Inductive learning ability. Designing is basically a habit, just like reorganizing a room, designing is to get information, break it up, reorganize, classify, set a new theme, run through the main line, and express ideas from a special perspective.

Graphic design is mainly engaged in the design and production of art typesetting, print advertising, posters, light boxes, etc.

Engaged in graphic design work, the technical difficulty of each company requires different grades, the working hours are relatively unstable, the creation speed is required, and the demand for talents is also relatively large. This kind of work can be used as ** artist, design assistant, graphic designer, senior designer, art director, design director. Graphic designers may use professional skills in typography, visual arts, page layout, computer software, etc., to achieve the goals of their creative projects.

Graphic design can generally refer to the process of making (designing) and the final finished product. Common uses of graphic design include logos (trademarks and brands), publications (magazines, newspapers, and books), print advertising, posters, billboards, graphic elements, logos, and product packaging.

Watch more movies or design works to find some inspiration.

It's been more than 2 years since I started learning in this industry! I can take a position of around 3,000!

I do love the industry. Don't know how to choose?

Analysis from these two points:

1. Your industry belongs to the business of technical support, for a long time, the technical accumulation is profound, and the increase in wages is only a matter of time.

2. It's not easy to find a career you like, don't give up, do what you like, and have a good income, this is what many people dream of, you have achieved it, you have it, you have it, you have it, you have to cherish it, the happiness index is very high.

Because of these two reasons, I personally believe that it is ideal for you to choose to persevere, and I wish you better development in the future! Hehe.

Design started relatively late in China, the plane is better, the development is fast, if you like it, stick to it, this industry needs experience.

Stick to what you should insist on, give up what you should give up, just think about it!

A high salary does not mean that it is a career you like, or do what you like, the money is endless, and the family happiness is ......
