What kind of experience is it to learn photoshop? Why do so many people want to learn ps?

1. Why can't many friends learn ps well?

When it comes to ps knowledge, many people's first reaction should be retouching, fiddling with colors and adjusting lighting effects. In fact, this is also the reason why many small partners have been unable to learn well. The concepts are all wrong, in no order. Ps in the general population is actually the design in the eyes of experts. Since it is a design, its core value is of course the proficiency in software, and your thinking is reflected by the software in your hand. When we focus on how to retouch pictures better, how to buckle them more perfectly, and even how to remember shortcut keys, we will never learn well and we will bump into ourselves. Knowing what you are first, then knowing what you need to learn, and then finding a great god to follow the actual combat is the best step.

2. Tell me about my own learning methods.

Similarly, I began to get in touch with things I didn't understand. My own opinion is to try not to find some rigid and fixed materials or videos to watch, because as everyone knows, we can learn things in two ways. The first one is that we need to learn by rote, for example, we don't recite texts or words at school. Second, the things we are in contact with now, such as design, need some software. The quickest way is not to read boring materials, but to do it yourself. Only by doing it yourself can you understand what needs to be done. The great god often says that it takes us several days to learn a software with our eyes. But by hand, we only need less than two hours. In addition, the design of this thing itself is to listen to the inspirational thinking of some great gods, so the best way to learn is to attend classes. You can go to a group I studied before and listen to the lecture, which starts with: 208. The middle part is: 972. The last part is: seven seven seven. In fact, many new friends can't learn well after studying for a long time, not because they are stupid, but because they are not well positioned and don't know what to learn at all. Some people said that they should learn shortcut keys first, so they learned shortcut keys for a month. Some people say that you should learn colors first, and then look up all kinds of text materials about colors yourself. Without a purpose, I've never been with an expert in actual combat. How can I learn well?

3. Designers should have this.

Designers must be confident and firmly believe in their own vision and taste. No blind obedience, no narcissism, no arrogance, no drifting. Have a rigorous attitude, don't design for the sake of individuality, and don't design for the sake of design. You must have a unique quality and a solid foundation, that is, no matter how complicated the situation is, you can learn and digest the same type of excellent design essence by carefully summing up experience, careful thinking and repeated deliberation, and realize new creation. It's not easy to understand, but you can have your own experience after reading it a few times.

4. This is how design should be learned.

Whether my friends want to learn or myself, I think it is a complete waste of time to stare at some fixed materials, just like when I was at school. When I get a strange thing, I will try to touch it. What do you mean? I just do it myself. No matter what software you choose, you can get started faster as long as you do it yourself. As for which key is for what purpose and where it is placed for what purpose, let these problems be digested in the process of tinkering. You said that a software is so versatile that you want to memorize the functions in your mind before operating it. I can't do it anyway. It's really smart if you can, but it's also quite troublesome.

5. Colors that many people ignore.

Yes, color things are more automatic now, but you still have to judge for yourself. Color is the first key to grasp human vision. Color can make people have different reflections and associations by combining specific images and using different tones. Color does not exist in isolation. It should not only reflect the texture and characteristics of this thing, but also take into account the visual changes of the distance. For example, red is a powerful color. Green, biased towards natural beauty, quiet. But if you don't have your own understanding and everything is rote, then all colors are the same in your eyes, and there is no difference.

I am very busy, so I have no time.

Honestly, have you said this sentence? I believe many people have said that. This is the first sentence that comes out when you learn something. Ok, let me ask you, what do you study? Yes, your pocket is bulging. So what are you busy with? Is it the same? Then the problem comes, you are a person who is unwilling to pay until you see the result. The first thing you worry about is whether you can learn well, and the second is what will happen even if you learn well? If you have this mentality, then I'm sure you can't learn anything well. When we are young and go to school, we can actually see the results. The result is to see that all the other children have passed the exam, and then they are happy to go to the senior grade. So, you're thinking, I've studied well, I can get in, I can go to senior three, and I don't need to say the next thing. This is why it is difficult for us to learn when we grow up. Because it is difficult for us to see the results, and sometimes even if we can see them, it is hard to believe.

7. Tell you a time rule.

This is the law of time, which was discovered by a scientist, but the specific name has been forgotten. Generally speaking, when you continue to learn a knowledge, you can always become an expert after studying for three years. I haven't verified it, because three years doesn't sound like a long time, but it's really difficult to do it. But I believe it's true. This is somewhat similar to what the ancients said. What I mean by this is that when you make a choice, you must have an attitude that your wallet has been paid or not. Just can't be perfunctory, let alone fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. If you don't learn this thing bit by bit, you should either be serious or not do it at all. Learn to forget a little, when is the end? If you say you are busy, please review what I said above.

8. Ten Principles of Excellent Design

Good design is innovative.

The possibilities of innovation are far from exhausted. The development of technology constantly provides a new starting point for design concepts to improve product usability. But the innovation of design should always be linked with the innovation of technology, and never innovate for the sake of design innovation.

2. Good design is practical.

The product is for human use, and it should perform certain functions-main functions and additional psychological and aesthetic functions. Good design is to improve the usability of products, and everything irrelevant or even contrary to this purpose should not be considered.

3. Good design is beautiful.

The aesthetic quality of products is also a part of practicality, and daily electrical appliances affect people's living environment and happiness. But only truly excellent products can be beautiful.

4. Good design makes the product easy to understand.

The design should reasonably show the product structure and let the product speak. The best design is self-evident, it can explain everything.

Good design is cautious and restrained.

A product that performs a certain function has the attribute of a tool, which is neither an ornament nor a work of art, so its design should be neutral. Instruments should be retired to make room for self-realization.

6. Good design is honest

A product should not look more efficient, valuable and innovative than it actually is, and it will not try to manipulate consumers through promises that cannot be fulfilled.

7. Good design is eternal.

It avoids pandering to fashion, so it won't go out of fashion. In sharp contrast to the short-lived fashion design, even in today's disposable consumption society, it is enduring.

8. Good design is consistent in details.

Do not tolerate randomness and contingency. The logic and accuracy of design is ultimately to show respect for consumers.

9. Good design is environmentally friendly.

Design has made an important contribution to environmental protection. It includes saving resources and minimizing physical and visual pollution in product design.

10. Good design means as few designs as possible.

Less is more. Design focuses on the essence, not the unnecessary waste on the product. Design should return to purity and simplicity.

9. Be yourself

Why do you say that? I admit that some people are not born to learn a certain knowledge, not because they are stupid, but because they have no such forward-looking vision. They may learn a method quickly, but once the method changes and they stop playing like this, even if there is only a little, they can't think of a better method themselves. But some people can. Although they may be slow to learn things, once they learn, they can find new ways as long as they don't change much. Similarly, there is a third kind of person who learns quickly and has many ways to change. This is a little genius, and we don't pay attention to such people. What kind of person is good, we won't discuss it, it's not suitable here.
