I am a graphic teacher in Suzhou and one of the founders of paid education. I studied art design or packaging design for four years in college. What did I learn in college, such as advertising, advertising law, Bauhaus, Goth, Baloter, and so on? I like the works of Jin Daiqiang, Fukuda Fan Xiong and other masters. It used to be because Li Yu, a senior (Li Yu of Changsha University of Technology), encouraged us to find that what we learned at school was basically useless after work. In order to avoid the recurrence of this impractical course and waste everyone's time and expectation, our plane course is the most practical and commercial course. So, what jobs will we have to learn graphic design? I am a paid teacher, and I will summarize five main employment directions for you.
First, I work in an advertising company. This kind of work is very hard and varied, and it often works overtime. Moreover, the salary is not high. Generally, there is no five insurances and one gold, which is very irregular. However, I am in favor of students starting their first job with both hands. If they want to do it, they should do it for at least one year. If it can be done for about three years, I can say responsibly that the leveling work is no longer difficult for you. Because this job is the front line of the plane, you can not only learn about design, but also learn about materials and technology. You can do the design later. From the beginning, in fact, you already have in mind what the finished product of this work looks like. You can see at a glance what materials you can use, what technology you need and whether you can exceed the cost.
Second, be an artist, which I highly recommend, especially Taobao artists. I often say that graphic designers can be artists, but artists can't do the work of graphic designers. As I said before, all UI learners are suckers and idiots. Have you ever seen anyone who started to do UI from Xiaobai, and basically switched from graphic design to career change? I mean, the work of artists is too simple and fixed, but the level of artists in the past two years is really great. Look at the annual double 1 1.
Third, shopping malls, supermarkets, KTV chains, large enterprises, and so on, all have propaganda departments or advertising departments. This kind of job is ideal and easy to find, with fixed hours, no overtime work, five insurances and one gold, and the company has other benefits.
Fourth, professional media companies, these companies are very high-end, untrained, have at least three years of work experience, and have unique understanding and opinions on beauty and various design elements. Such companies often need to package the newly established companies or products, find out the selling points, enlarge the selling points, and use creative copywriting and schemes to promote them through print advertisements, video advertisements, newspapers and magazines.
The fifth, which is relatively new now, is UI design, or not only UI design, not only interface design, but also animation production. C4D will design some emerging apps or platforms, and combine the Internet to make the face or fur (visible things) of internet plus products.
