This problem cannot be generalized. I think the most important thing is choice. Nowadays, all kinds of training and training are dazzling, whether individual or collective, it will always make us face difficulties in choosing. Choosing the right one is a good thing. Choosing the wrong one not only wastes money, but also wastes time. Especially for some friends who have just graduated or are in a hurry to find a job, time is the most precious.
2. If you choose the one that suits you best.
About the above choices, we should say a few more words, not to say which one is expensive, nor to say that it is good to look at the eye margin. The first step is to determine your own foundation, is it all white? Or half a bottle of vinegar? Or do you need profound knowledge to evolve yourself? If you are the first or the second, then the second step is to give up all the so-called materials or videos that you can download online. Design is a highly operational knowledge. It is almost useless to simply build a car behind closed doors without a teacher to take you, or to recite some shortcut keys rigidly. When I used to study, I chose to take classes online. First, because I didn't have enough money to study in our local area, it was more cost-effective online. Second, because it is a trend in the future after all, I feel that learning is much better than studying in the local area. If you want to learn well, you can go to the group I went to at that time. After all, there are classes every night, starting at 208. The middle part is: 972. The last part is: seven seven seven. Speaking of which, don't you think it's good for me to look at the written materials and videos myself? Then I won't stop you. There is a reason for this. It takes at least seven days to be familiar with an operation knowledge, but it only takes 160 minutes if you use common sense. This law has been scientifically verified. So, no matter where you choose to study, if you are always told some theories, or you are told some dreams as soon as you come up, then you and I are sure that you have come to the wrong place, and that place will only waste your time.
3. Why don't many friends learn design 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.
4. I think 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 essence of the same type of excellent design 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.
In my opinion, 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.
6. 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.
7. Finally, personal interests.
To learn something, interest is the first thing you need, but you can't learn just for interest, you have other purposes. Simply put, there are other pursuits. Like what kind of god I want to be, and so on. If you are interested in learning, you will learn happily; If you study with a goal, you will learn quickly.
8. 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.
9. 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.
