Is graphic design easy to learn?
"Is graphic design good for employment?" Many students who went to the Millennium Art Sea for consultation have asked me this question. It shows that many people are interested in computer design, but they have doubts and fears because of their weak foundation. Graphic design, as a very professional design technology, is misunderstood by many people as very basic and the salary is very low! In fact, graphic design is a profession with the highest technology, the most knowledge points, the widest employment direction and the largest demand in the field of computer design. The person who thinks graphic design is very basic is because he only compares graphic design with large-scale three-dimensional software from the perspective of software operation. Of course, compared with software operation, graphic design software is indeed simpler than large-scale three-dimensional animation software and network software. However, no matter how difficult the software operation is, the software is only a designer's tool, and the difficulty of the tool does not mean that the profession is high or low. Of course, from a technical point of view, graphic design must be the foundation of other majors. Without the foundation of graphic design, learning other majors will lose its foundation, because the core of graphic design is creativity, aesthetic expression and visual art, which conveys visual image through means of color, pattern, composition, layout, modeling, hierarchy, deformation and space, and has a vital impact on other design majors. People who think that the salary of graphic design is low because they are not professional graphic designers. Because I am not professional, I have no qualification and ability to enter a professional design company, so I can only engage in simple design and production in a small design agency. Naturally, their wages are very low and they feel that they have not developed. In fact, salary has nothing to do with design major, but with your own design level and working ability, as well as the strength and salary standard of the employer. A professional graphic designer with a salary of less than 3,000 yuan proves that the design level needs to be improved and needs continuous learning; Those who earn tens of thousands of dollars may not reach the peak, but they still need to make persistent efforts to learn and improve. Then, for a person who is about to enter the graphic design industry, if he learns graphic design well, how can he achieve a smooth employment in the future? First of all, we should choose a truly professional training institution to study systematically. At present, there are three kinds of training in China: universal training, practical training and comprehensive ability training. Although "universal training" is divided into junior, middle and advanced courses, the overall training level is not very high; "Practical training" is training under the banner of improvement and practice. However, it can't cope with the ever-changing design work, because it doesn't fundamentally solve students' design literacy, but only gives them some special examples. "Comprehensive ability training" is a kind of trustworthy training. This kind of training is generally from shallow to deep, combining theory with practice, paying equal attention to computer technology and art, including a lot of design skills and ability training. After learning, I will definitely improve a lot, not to mention employment! Secondly, it depends on the level of teachers. Do not trust so-called experts or professors. You should look at the teacher's practical work experience. Without more than ten years of design experience, it is impossible to be competent in teaching. Thirdly, it depends on the teaching equipment of the training institution. At present, most professional design companies use MAC. Therefore, it is best to attend a school that uses MAC for training, so that you can directly connect with your work and avoid the disadvantages and shortcomings of using only PC. Next, it depends on whether teaching is combined with practice: at present, a lot of training only stays on theory and basic knowledge. If your foundation is weak, you'd better choose comprehensive training closely related to your work, so that you can learn a lot of practical experience. Finally, it depends on whether the hours of training courses are reasonable: training is divided into short-term training and long-term training, but there is little difference in learning content between them. Long-term training only shortens each class and prolongs the total learning period; Short-term training will not waste time as long as there is enough time in each class and the study is concentrated. Through the above methods, you can choose a training institution suitable for your study. The next step is the learning process. According to the requirements of designers, "artistic principle and expression, design software operation technology, professional design theory knowledge and design practical experience" are indispensable. In learning, don't rush for success, and don't shy away from the importance. You must study step by step, listen more, practice more, ask more questions and do more work. Then, you can make yourself a professional graphic designer! In terms of employment, graphic design is a major with a wide range of employment, including not only advertising design, but also book binding design, packaging and decoration design, corporate image design, newspaper and magazine arrangement, printed matter design and so on. There is a large employment market, including advertising companies, graphic design companies, printing houses, newspapers, magazines, propaganda departments of enterprises and institutions, trading companies, etc. Are places where graphic designers can give full play to their talents. Since its establishment eleven years ago, Millennium Yihai Digital Art Training Center has always regarded students' employment as an important goal of education and training. While providing students with professional education and training, we should pay more attention to the planning and guidance of students' career paths. According to the trend and demand of the design industry, vocational education and planning, professional quality and professional accomplishment, internship guarantee and employment guidance are all integrated into our training system, and a batch of practical professional design talents who are proficient in technology and have strong practical ability have been trained, which has truly achieved a high employment rate. On the other hand, Millennium Art Sea actively broadens students' employment channels, constantly establishes cooperation with design units, accumulates a large number of employment channels and employment partners, and forms a strong employment network, which provides a reliable guarantee for students' employment. I wish all the students who struggle for their dreams success and realize their dreams! Address: Room 306, Zhongsheng Building, No.2 North Honeycomb, Haidian District, Beijing
