Graphic style illustration is mainly color blocks, geometric modeling, smooth outline and more intuitive information, which makes people understand the information conveyed by the interface at a glance.

The flat interface can also better realize the transformation of pictures, and the webpage loading speed is faster. Therefore, graphic style illustrations are widely used in various fields.

Stroke style is an extension of plane style.

Adding outline and brush strokes to plane elements and adding brush strokes to the outline of line-drawing illustrations are more three-dimensional and lovely than plane styles, and are often used in posters, guide pages, logo, etc.

Texture style illustration, also known as grain noise style, is another branch of plane style. The page is superimposed with grain texture, showing a matte texture, which is a bit like sand painting, but more delicate than sand painting.

The main manifestation is the use of a large number of color blocks. Elements are single and clean, and textures are often superimposed on highlights and shadows of elements. Increase the details in the picture through graininess, the picture is natural, three-dimensional and vivid, and the painting style is relaxed and casual.

How does AI painting illustration achieve this granular effect? From the professional direction, there are several graphic designers: outdoor advertising business card designer of light box, advertising designer of advertising company, designer of decoration company, digital designer of photo studio, network marketing retoucher, Taobao artist, typesetter of printing factory and output center, packaging designer, industrial appearance designer (ID), fashion designer, poster designer of real estate company, album designer of general factory, game artist and magazine.

Among them, I personally think that Taobao artists and typesetters have the most prospects and potential, which is the greatest help to personal technical growth.

Below, I will introduce in detail the software that each graphic designer position will probably use and what needs to be learned. It is emphasized here that you can become a designer without software, and there are still many things to learn in your work.

In my personal opinion, the designer of outdoor advertising business cards with light boxes has the least future and potential, because generally such companies are not even companies. The boss can raise the flag and occupy the mountain by renting a single room. This kind of company generally has a relatively simple job. You can make a light box by typing a few words with cdr, such as a business card, and you can also download the template directly. However, because the technical content is not high and there are not many lists, the salary is relatively low, generally not more than 3000. It is suggested that students who have just learned software can go in and practice their hands for no more than 3 months.

Advertising designers of advertising companies need to know a lot of software, at least pscdraipdfcad and so on. Companies are large and small, and large professional advertising companies have high recruitment requirements. Generally speaking, they need to have a college degree or above in fine arts and have working experience in printing plants. The workload is heavy and the pressure is great. Because the works you design will eventually have to be paid by the customers. Even if you have a good idea, not everyone can understand it, so you may need to revise the manuscript over and over again, and someone will tell you what to do. This process is very painful. The working environment is not as perfect as you think, and overtime is common. However, this position can learn a lot and sharpen people. Salary depends on ability, ranging from 1800 to 8 100. If there is an opportunity, I suggest studying for half a year, and I can do a lot of work after I come out.

Studio digital designers and general wedding photography centers all need such positions, and there is little requirement for software. Proficient in PS is basically competent. People who know Meitu and Xiu Xiu and think they are competent can play at the same time. ) Know about color matching, cutout beautification, font design, etc. In most cases, it is enough to apply some templates. Large wedding centers may also need to know some post-film synthesis software, such as audio and video, AE and so on. It is best to use a SLR camera and some photographic equipment. The work is easy and the salary is ok.

The work done by the retoucher in online marketing is basically the same as that done by Taobao artists. You also need to be proficient in PS, and some may need knowledge of web design software such as dreamweaverflash. Proficient in website background management (this is basically very simple, just some graphic work). Skillful use of photographic equipment can cut the picture, change the background and beautify the work. You may need to do customer service, after-sales, network maintenance and so on. It is required to know the basic concepts of e-commerce such as B2B, B2C and C2C, and it is best to know some basic maintenance work on the computer side. The workload is not big, and it is easier to find a job. Many people are recruiting in 58 cities and online fairs. The treatment is generally above 3500. And the future is great, after all, e-commerce is the future trend.

Typesetter in printing house and output center, this job is most suitable for beginners of graphic design, and it plays a great role in the growth of beginners. It's a pity that you usually only recruit skilled people. If you meet a company that recruits novices, don't hesitate, don't look at the salary, go directly, and you will find graphic design work very easy to find after you come out. Everyone knows what the printing factory does, but many people in the output center may not have heard of it. If you pay attention to yourself, there may be many graphic output centers outside. (Note that it is not an ordinary small photo studio, and that small printing agency does not count. ) This kind of position is most likely to come into contact with the printing core knowledge of graphic design industry, including bleeding, typesetting, imposition, color separation, turning over, proofing, color correction, film, format conversion, design flow and other important concepts. When you were studying at school, the teacher said that you basically listened to gobbledygook, and you had to work to understand these things. And these things, it is the key to decide whether the works you design can be printed. No beautiful photo album will be printed. It's a waste draft. Don't expect too high salary when you first enter, start around 2500-3500.

Packaging designer, the general electronic audio-visual gift products, design the packaging of various products. Pscdr is the most basic two, and some may need CAD to draw cutter lines. The most commonly used command is precisely clipping the drawing box. Send it to the printing plant after the design is completed.

Industrial design designer (ID), this position is also a very promising one. The reason why I didn't write it in the front is because this position requires a little higher and is a bit special. I need to conceive the appearance structure of the product myself, which may be designed to industrial design. The most commonly used is PSCDR. It would be better if you can render with CADPROEUG3DSMAX. Generally, this job requires realistic works before the mold design in the factory, and it is best to have an art or sketch foundation, and the size is basically not required. Judging from the watch design students I have taught, those with several years of work experience can easily get a salary of 5-6 K, but unfortunately only those with work experience are recruited.

Fashion designers don't recommend graphic design beginners. Most of them study software in training schools, and seldom learn design knowledge such as clothing structure. This is like a mountain, although it is also a branch of graphic design. Proficiency in PSCDRCAD is required.

Poster designer of real estate company, real estate has always been very hot, and the boss has money. Anyway, it is common to ask a person to design posters and various promotional materials, and of course some of them are sent to advertising companies. After doing this job, it is easy to find a new industry. Because people who can design posters generally know the overall color matching, highlight the theme and create an atmosphere. Commonly used PSCDR, etc.

Picture book designers in general factories, many beginners don't know, such as a power supply factory and a motor factory, simply think that such factories may not need advertising design, but they are not. After the company becomes bigger and stronger, publicity and business dealings between companies will inevitably require a professional person to do graphic processing, which is difficult for ordinary clerks to do. Need to design album, desk calendar, LOGO, advertising language, logo on the machine and so on. The software used, such as pscdraicadpdf, also knows how to scan, copy and print. , more comprehensive. In most cases, there is no need to design new materials out of thin air, and it is likely to copy existing materials to make the work easier. The treatment is 2500-6000.

Game artists are generally made by students from professional art colleges. It involves a wide range and requires high professionalism. It is not recommended to train students from schools to do this kind of work.

Magazine illustrators design illustrations for some magazines or novels, both comic and realistic, which also require artistic skills.

UI designer, UI design is a relatively fashionable and relatively new job, generally dealing with human-computer interaction, such as the design of mobile phone interface and icons. Generally, no programming code is designed. The treatment may be higher and more demanding.

Brand planning and promotion belongs to graphic design and semi-conversion. Generally, after several years of design, you can consider brand promotion with your own design ideas and ideas. At this time, you will not only use computer to design graphics and texts, but also involve some business, film and television, network and other knowledge. Skilled experience is required and the salary is relatively high.

Generally speaking, the graphic design industry is still very promising, because there are many job opportunities and the working environment is by no means comparable to that of ordinary workers who work overtime day and night. However, to get rich, please stay away from graphic design. Go out and turn left at the crossroads, set up a sesame seed cake stall, and you may make a fortune.

Also, if you want to learn graphic design well, you should not only have an excellent professional teacher, but also persist in your efforts and study more! Don't be greedy when looking for a school. You get what you pay. The cheaper the tuition, the less you learn (because you can't find a professional designer to teach you at low tuition). In addition, when you study, you are miserable, but when you study, you are relaxed. It's hard at first. Hold on, hold on, and the road will be easy!
