The specific analysis is as follows:
From the industry point of view, such as animation, TV column packaging, games, film and television, advertising, the Internet and so on.
Then find your own position. There are many sub-positions in these industries, some are studying technology, and some are studying art. The direction of art does not need to learn advanced mathematics.
I have outlined the positions and work contents of these industries:
The position to the left is more inclined to art, so we need to learn from the direction of art, and the basic skills and aesthetic ability of art are the core of skills.
The position on the right is more technical and needs to master the application of various software. The position on the right needs to master the programming ability.
Generally speaking, technology is easy to learn, but art is difficult to learn. All kinds of software operations are easy to master, and the basic skills of art and artistic aesthetics need to be accumulated for a long time. Therefore, the lower the employment threshold of the position closer to the middle in the figure, the short-term training can be separated from production.
It is also very difficult for technology to achieve fine drilling, because the technical content is very boring relative to engaging in art, and few people can go all the way to the end. The positions at both ends of the picture are relatively high entry thresholds, and novices who have just graduated are rarely used in the industry.
Here are some suggestions for newcomers:
1. Try to be admitted to a first-line design university like the Academy of Fine Arts or Zhongyuan Beiying. At least you can lay a solid foundation of fine arts, gain professional knowledge such as aesthetic psychology, cultivate innovative thinking in the school teaching system, and gain a good vision.
2. Don't focus on software learning. Creativity and aesthetics are the core skills of designers. Because the software is easy to learn, creative thinking and aesthetic ability need long-term accumulation and systematic cultivation.
3. Get in touch with the professional knowledge of the industry early, consult more seniors who have already worked, visit more professional forums, make more series of works, save a set of high-quality works before graduation, and find an internship with the top companies in the industry.
The education level of this industry abroad is much higher than that of China, and the knowledge is more systematic. If you are not short of money, it is recommended to study abroad. It is also best to find an internship abroad.
