I am a graphic designer. I have always dreamed of becoming a designer. I have been working for almost 5 years and now I am confused whether I should change my career.

Let me tell you. Although I am not a great master in the design world, I have been in this industry for almost 8 years. There are some things that I should see more clearly than you.

Being a designer is usually a little harder. You have to pay attention to trends, look at current popular elements, and pay attention to beautiful things all the time. A designer’s aesthetics is gained by reading more, practicing more, and reading more books. Diligence is not enough. This is the fate of all designers. So why are so many people still working as designers? The reason is love. Designing is both painful and happy.

Working overtime may be normal for designers, but some units will not always work overtime. For example, find some companies that are not mainly engaged in design, and you can do auxiliary work or follow orders. It’s okay to work outside the home. The pressure will not be so great, you can think about it. As for customers' pickiness, it is unavoidable and all designers hate it. However, I think the main thing is to rely on oneself. Communicate more with customers and make customers feel "fazed" first. Designers must have the leading power. Then, customers will I won’t make so many unreasonable demands anymore, haha. .

If you usually feel a lot of pressure, you must constantly improve yourself, fill yourself with new knowledge, and broaden your horizons... There is no way, only hard work is the last word! !

Don't be distressed. If you like this industry, you must be brave enough to persevere.

If the distress is greater than your passion, then it is better to completely change your career. . . .

Hope it is useful to you! ! !
