The first one is to attend training. The general study period is 4-6 months, and there are 6-8 months. This way is the most effective.

The second is self-study. Self-study time is uncertain. The key is persistence and how much time you spend studying every day. If you can guarantee 2 hours of study every day, and the content and method of study are correct, you can study from 12 months to 18 months. The disadvantage is that it is easy to take detours, and you need to solve it yourself when you encounter difficulties.

The third way is to find an in-service designer as an apprentice. The advantage of this method is that it has expert guidance and less detours. But because on-the-job designers have their own jobs, it is impossible to have teachers to help you at any time, as in training schools. General designers are reluctant to take apprentices, especially those with zero foundation. Because you have to learn at least four softwares to learn design, there are endless problems, and designers have to have time to teach you no matter how patient they are, so it must be a special relationship. Of course, it is much better to find a master to study than to teach yourself completely, and it takes at least one-third less time than self-study.

These three ways are the most important in learning design at present. In addition, I will tell you what you must learn to learn design.

Software: 3DS MAX modeling, VRAY model rendering, CAD construction drawing, PS post-processing, EXCEL budget.

Theory: The concepts of construction technology, decoration materials, color and size (ergonomics) are all needed by beginners.

In addition, basic art, hand-painted beginners should not be the main direction. Later, you can get involved in your spare time. Art and hand-drawing are not effective in a day or two, but skills. It won't be on the table for months.

So spend your experience on basic learning first, and then enter the industry. Prioritize first. To apply for a job in a company, the first thing is to apply for an assistant designer.

Assistant designer requirements: master five required softwares and theories, and can draw 3D drawings and CAD plans. Only in this way can designers be willing to take you. To work.

In addition, it should be emphasized that most graduates go to the company to apply for interns, specifically designers' assistants. Since you are an assistant, you must be able to afford the job of an assistant. I only know how to make pictures. If you can't draw, the designer won't accept you. No designer is willing to help you and teach you the basics for no reason.

Learning the foundation well is the foundation of becoming a designer. Must know software, theory, drawing and then apply for internship! ! Otherwise, you must have hit a wall everywhere and hurt yourself.
