What should I do if I want to be a designer?

I am studying art, and I may want to be a designer in the future. First of all, I must have a certain foundation in art, such as geometric drawings, spatial studies, etc., because design requires a foundation in painting. Otherwise, it is useless to have inspiration. In fact, I have always believed that the design industry has to be divided into different people. Some people can do it well, and some people cannot. One of the most important ones is what we often call "talent", which sounds very desirable no matter what. Talent is certainly desirable, but if you don’t have talent, it doesn’t mean you won’t be able to work in the design field. To be an excellent or better designer than most of your peers, you must have: a certain amount of talent, self-objectivity, and subjective design ideas, a very keen insight into related things, and the ability to move mountains. Spirituality, reverse thinking, creativity, imagination, and he must be a perfectionist, etc. These are probably the relevant factors that I can think of at the moment. What I want to say is that if you want to become an outstanding designer, these conditions must be met.

In addition, I would like to emphasize the issue of inspiration. Inspiration is an important resource for design. Without it, nothing can be done. In fact, many inspirations come from our favorite movies, TV, cars and even music. These seemingly unrelated media can benefit you greatly. They could be a source of inspiration for your Top 60. Naturally, the more you know and master about similar things, the more things you have in your mind, and the more you can dig them out when you use them, that's for sure. The above paragraph is an explanation of the previous sentence "Have a very sensitive insight into relevant things". I hope one day you will appreciate my words. Let's do this for now. [1] Plan your own path carefully and don’t follow your feelings! According to personal ideal decision-making arrangements, most people do not expect to become academicians or professors, but hope to live a more nourishing and enjoyable life. Then, you need to carefully arrange your trajectory. Which industry to start with, gradually gain a deeper understanding of the industry, and don’t change jobs frequently, especially don’t change positions just for a small salary. In the long run, this little money is nothing at all. When you have experienced an industry for so many years, Money will not be an issue at all in the future. Frequent turbulence is not the best policy. In the end, you will not have a thorough understanding of any industry and will always be a novice!

[2] You can do design, but you must not indulge in design. Never focus solely on design! Put a lot of pressure on yourself. If you focus entirely on this, you are destined to become a person like Kong Yiji! Enough is enough, because design is only one of the pillars of your future, and it is not the biggest pillar, unless you only want to be a designer until you grow old!

[3] Don’t be a design master, just be a comprehensive quality master! When working in the enterprise, we often look down on someone, saying that he "doesn't understand anything, why should he get so much money, why should he be promoted!" This is a common pedantic statement made by typical designers. Is 8051 awesome? If someone can get up there, he must have some ability, and it's something you don't have. Think about it, the boss has been in business for so many years, does he have less experience than you, a new recruit? People may be good at management, good at understanding the boss's intentions, good at departmental coordination, etc. Therefore, you must cultivate your multi-faceted abilities, including management, affinity, ability to observe words, and ability to tackle key problems. If you want to become a master of comprehensive qualities, you will have a bright future. Otherwise, you can only hide in the corner and watch the monitor! Skills other than design are more important! From ancient times to the present, this has always been the case in the United States and Japan!

[4] Make more friends from all walks of life! Don't just associate with designers, thinking that you have the same language. In fact, it is more important to associate with other types of people. If you hope to be a boss or a senior manager one day, then you will face these people all day long.

Understand their experiences, thinking habits, hobbies, learn their problem-solving models, and understand the phenomena and problems in all corners of society. This is a huge capital for future development. Without these, you will be clumsy, stumbling, encountering many difficulties, and communicating. A lot of tuition, and the probability of success is greatly reduced!

[5] Knowledge does not have to be specialized, but it must be broad! Read more books on other fields, such as finance, accounting, import and export, taxation, law, etc., and make some accumulation for the future, which will be more useful in the future! You will pay a lot less tuition!

[6] Seize the opportunity to transition into engineering management or administration! If you want to have a future, you can't keep doing design. When the time comes, you have to switch to management. The future will be even greater. The design you did before was not in vain, and it will be useful in the future. Engaging in management can cultivate your leadership skills, cultivate your market concepts and thinking, and at the same time accumulate a huge network of contacts for your future development! It should be said that this is the real pillar of the future!

[7] Gradually overcome your own inner weaknesses and character flaws! Suspicious, sensitive, naive (derogatory, not cute), hesitant, timid, worried, too thin-skinned, not dark-hearted enough, dogmatic thinking.

These common character weaknesses among designers must change! Is it difficult? Of course it's impossible to just think about it in bed. Go help a friend guard the street stall for a month, and it will definitely work. Practice it, don't just think about it! If you don't overcome these shortcomings, everything will be impossible, and you won't even be a good project manager - even though you may have good design skills!

[8] While working, you must prepare for the future! Build your own work environment! Configure a working environment for yourself as early as possible, equip yourself with a computer, and do some work in your spare time. On the one hand, you can get in touch with the market and develop a sense of the market. At the same time, you can also accumulate funds. More importantly, you can build your own network. We who work in technology have no money, only technology, technology. The representative of success is not academic qualifications and certificates, but connections. With these, wait for the opportunity, otherwise, you will not be able to seize the opportunity!

[9] Learn to be good at selling yourself! Not only must you be capable, but you must also be able to speak and write, and be good at using every opportunity to promote yourself and establish your own brand image. It is very necessary! You need to create conditions for others to understand you, otherwise how will your boss know that you are capable? How can people outside believe you? Market yourself early and opportunities will naturally come to you! It’s a good idea to have a personal homepage! In particular, cultivate your reputation in the industry. Once you are famous, you will have high-paying opportunities. More importantly, there will be opportunities for cooperation...

[10] Take action when it’s time to take action! You can never be 100 sure! The conditions are almost the same, so you have to be brave and start your own business. Don't hesitate or hesitate. You may not succeed if you do it, but at least you have accumulated experience for the next impact. If you don't do it, you will never be successful, and if you want to succeed, you must go through it. Failure!

You can refer to where you fell short! I don’t know how much art skills you have! Design relies on inspiration! But you must be good at sketching for design! You must have a strong sense of color and space! If you want to practice, you must sketch first! In terms of exposure to color! There are many kinds of designers

Get closer to nature and understand other people's styles. This will make you more sensitive. You must have a foundation in art to watch, listen, and move, and design. Inspiration and talent are very important, and the expressive ability of the sketch space must be strong. When observing things, use your unique vision to evaluate and express your favorite feelings. This kind of thinking design is relatively OK now. I don’t know how much art skills you have! Design relies on inspiration! But you must be good at sketching for design! You must have a strong sense of color and space! If you want to practice, you must sketch first! In terms of exposure to color! Just do it with your heart and "come on"! Get into college and study hard! If you want to be a successful designer, you should start to calm down and settle down now. You may have good results when you are forty years old.

I am studying graphic design and have been studying for two years. Although I know everything the teacher taught me, I still feel that I have learned too little

Being an excellent designer is my dream

But there are a few people who really apply what they have learned

I don’t expect any famous and excellent designers

As long as I can support my parents in the future

You can grow old with your own family

Excellent designers are my dream now

Dreams are often broken

Hey! Isn’t that a bit pessimistic! ....

But I wish you to become an excellent designer!

Work hard! There are three conditions for good design:

First, you must have strong art skills

Second, you must have a correct aesthetic sense

Three, you must have bold innovations spirit

4. First-class technical means

5. Suitable materials

6. Patience

Good art foundation , coupled with acquired skills, you can only find suitable materials to make works that are in line with the aesthetic ability of most people and be understood and recognized. Coupled with your rich associations, your imagination can be unrestrained, you can grasp inspiration, and it can be beneficial to society. Correctly guide the public’s aesthetic taste and design concepts, as well as product order! See if you have any ideas. This requires a certain amount of talent. I have the same ideal as you, but the only thing I can do now is to study harder, accumulate knowledge in all aspects, etc. If you have the opportunity, you must learn design. There are only two categories. When it is related to existing works, it becomes an improved design; when it is related to fantasy and the future, it becomes a creative design.

Whether it is the former or the latter, design is always inseparable from the accumulation of life. It is a blend of rationality and sensibility. It cannot be denied that excellent design works come from designers

“Good mentality + superior life + calm thinking + absolute self-confidence + profound culture”

Today’s design is not valuable. The printing fee includes the design fee, and it’s not a shopping mall promotion – buy one, get one free! Design is less valued than before. Why? Design has not depreciated, it is the designer who has devalued. There are too many irresponsible designers who are pretending to be fake. Just pick up a picture, type a few fonts, and then complete the design. This is a big joke. A picture plus a few lines of text is collage, not typesetting. Don't focus on layout, don't focus on contrast, don't focus on visual process, just focus on quick shots, making money is important. It doesn't matter whether you are creative or not, as long as you make your work extravagant and dazzling, it will suffice. Pay close attention to the fact that a considerable number of flyers, DMs, and brochures we got are this "masterpiece". Design is naturally not worth a penny. The existence of such designers is a blasphemy to design and a waste of design elements. When designers are eager for quick success, greedy for profit, and selfish desires, the design itself is no longer pure and out of shape.

Really good designers are often very "stingy" and will be very cautious every time they use an element. Because there are reasons to use them. "Waste is crime" and "less is more", they will warn you like this.

The "imitation" in design is understandable, because admiration and yearning are normal psychology. Being deeply influenced by a certain master or a certain style and leaving traces of it in the work does not mean plagiarism. Plagiarism is tantamount to robbery and is a shameless act because it steals other people's treasures. Now that we have the same design elements as world-class designers, why not use them to boldly express and market yourself. If you are studying graphics, you need to learn how to use software. This is the most basic. Now, the requirements of most companies are to be able to use relevant software proficiently. The second requirement is to understand the printing process, and generally also require experience. That is all That’s right, there’s no internship experience.

People nowadays don’t know what to think. First, you must be talented

Second, you must study and be well-read

Third, you must have the above two! You need to be rich in imagination and go to class first... How is your foundation? You need to have a strong foundation in art.

You also need to have a high level of artistic accomplishment. I hope I will leave room for everything I do if I do something wrong. Don’t use all your strength. What you have in hand, you should know how to enjoy slowly. This is the subtlety of thinking. I really want to learn fashion design. I want to know where in Wuhan I can learn such good designs. There are many kinds of designs, but designs are all similar. Go shopping more and pay more attention to the things around you, because life is full of design, and you can understand it in the life around you Many things. Of course, theoretical knowledge is also less than necessary. I usually read more books and learn computer-aided design software ~ I wish you success ~ I am an art major, and I may want to be a designer in the future. First of all, I must have a certain art foundation, such as geometric drawings and spatial studies. And so on, because design requires a foundation in painting, otherwise it will be useless just to have inspiration. In fact, I have always believed that the design industry has to be divided into people. Some people can do it well, and some people cannot. One of the most important ones is what we often call "talent", which sounds very desirable no matter what. Talent is certainly desirable, but if you don’t have talent, it doesn’t mean you won’t be able to work in the design field. To be an excellent or better designer than most of your peers, you must have: a certain amount of talent, self-objectivity, and subjective design ideas, a very keen insight into related things, and the ability to move mountains. Spirituality, reverse thinking, creativity, imagination, and he must be a perfectionist, etc. These are probably the relevant factors that I can think of at the moment. What I want to say is that if you want to become an outstanding designer, these conditions must be met.

In addition, I would like to emphasize the issue of inspiration. Inspiration is an important resource for design. Without it, nothing can be done. In fact, many inspirations come from our favorite movies, TV, cars and even music. These seemingly unrelated media can benefit you greatly. They could be a source of inspiration for your Top 60. Naturally, the more you know and master about similar things, the more things you have in your mind, and the more you can dig them out when you use them, that's for sure. The above paragraph is an explanation of the previous sentence "Have a very sensitive insight into relevant things". I hope one day you will appreciate my words. Let's do this for now. There are so many people copying online. To put it simply: 1. You need to be thoughtful (ideas and creativity); 2. You need to know technology (software); 3. Interpersonal relationships (marketing and etiquette). These three are the most necessary for design. . I think those people copying so many things may not be helpful to you. Excellent designers must have their own style and want to position their own style

This process is about practicing and practicing, and the most important thing is to be a good designer. It’s not difficult to be a designer. As long as the work you create is worthy of people’s recognition that your work is good, there will be no problem. As long as your work is released and people don’t excrete it, it means that your design will be appreciated by people. As long as you do it with your heart. Just give your best!~ God rewards hard work--Humanity rewards kindness--Business rewards trust--Art rewards heart. The thinking of a successful designer

"Blind obedience" is a manifestation of the regression of design thinking and design will. How to promote the perfect unified combination of "conceptuality" and "implementation" in design works, designers should fully grasp the temporality of the continued existence of the aesthetic value contained in the work, so that the spatial container shaped in the work can Accurately convey a new appearance that meets the owner's life and business needs and combines functional beauty. What is setting? It means that a certain concept of time and space should be predetermined in advance; what is a plan? It is to list this predetermined concept, develop this concept, and finally lock the concept. From the beginning of design thinking, to the expansion of thinking, and even the galloping of thinking, it is precisely to list this kind of specific time and space. In this relationship, designers can realize the contradictions and variations in the order of design thinking, and in this contradiction, they can reflect on themselves, criticize themselves, exert themselves, and finally advance it. Touting "my works" is a step backwards in design thinking.

You must understand what design is and how to design. Are you interested in design? If so, then you should go all out. Firstly, you must have a profound foundation and confidence. Come on...love for life and inspiration. Grasp, enthusiasm for work, be more creative when doing design, take more design courses and get a certificate, then you will be a designer... A mature designer must have the qualities of an artist, the rigorous thinking of an engineer, and the richness of a traveler Experience and life experience, the business philosophy of the operator, and the cost awareness of financial experts. There is a senior in the design field who said that design is thought. Design is a comprehensive reflection of a designer’s professional knowledge, life experience, cultural and artistic accomplishment, moral character and other aspects. Only when the inner cultivation is improved can we create works of art, fine products, top quality and divine products. Otherwise, we will just be in the primary stage of imitation and become ordinary. A designer with a low moral character will not have a high level of design taste. If you want to be an excellent designer.

The first thing you have to do is to learn.

Only when you master the Three Musketeers of the web can you design a website well.

Then you can realize your potential...
