This is the first time I've ever seen a woman in the world who has been in a position to make a living, and I'm not sure if I've ever been in a position to make a living, but I'm not sure if I've ever been in a position to make a living. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world.
I've been through this stage of your life, realizing that you can't design, and suspecting that you're not cut out for design.
This time you need to give yourself a psychological suggestion, keep saying to yourself "I can do good design, it is because I do too little".
Mental suggestion is very magical, when you say I can't, I won't, you really can't, really can't do it, a lot of times we are ourselves to scare ourselves back, not the thing itself.
We have to positively suggest, to the good side to suggest, such as I told myself, I can do a good job of design, just less time to practice, more time to practice on the good. With this kind of suggestion, you won't feel anxious because you don't know how to design.
Sharing some of my design insights
Doing design at the beginning of a lot of imitation, really?
You only heard the first half of the sentence, the second half of the sentence is to imitate the excellent landing project.
That is to say, designers imitate the work to choose, "excellent design and is the project on the ground".
Why imitate the excellent work, you can do out of the highest level of work, that is, you have seen the level of the best works,
You imitate the level of work of a certain picture network, then your aesthetic also stays at this stage, if you imitate the work of the gods, then your aesthetic is the height of the gods.
Doing design to achieve the eye of the high and low, "the eye should be higher than the design ability", the aesthetic, the eye must be higher than the design ability, no matter what stage.
Why is the landing project, this problem is ignored by many designers, whether it is to see the work or imitation work, it is best to find the landing project work.
Because a lot of works are very beautiful, very artistic, but is not a landing project, the design is ultimately the need to go through the party, after the market test, if you often imitate such works, your style and aesthetics will tend to such works, your design will deviate from the market, your work has no commercial value.
Let's talk about the reason why you can't design after 5 years of designing. This problem is very common, and you are not alone in this problem.
Doing five years of design will not design I summarize the five reasons:
The first reason: learning too much variety, the experience and time are used in learning new skills, each of the skills are a little bit of one or two, but are not fine, so you are all-around rookie, will not do the design is very normal.
The second reason: five years without learning to enhance the consciousness, with a relatively good salary, very satisfied with the status quo. After a few years of wanting to jump ship only to find that they do not know anything.
The third reason: no perseverance, can not insist on learning, each time determined to learn, but insist on a few days and then give up, so repeatedly, like many designers to read books, but five years have not been able to finish reading a book, said the study of hand-painting, five years have not been able to complete a painting.
No perseverance is not good to learn design, learning design must be a period of time to learn the same, and insist on learning to learn to learn in other.
The fourth reason: see what to learn? Too good to learn, only to learn not to practice, learn a bunch of things, but also will not design.
The fifth reason: no clear position, do not know what to? Five years have been looking for what they want, can not find their favorite.
How can I find my favorite, this issue is not really good to say, I say a little, like must be good at first before you will like.
Many designers think they like at the beginning, but do not like to do, so the first thing to become good at, you will love it, the beginning of the like may be a whim.
It's like when you read a book, you're biased, you like it very much, you hate it very much, you really don't like it? It's because you're not good at it, so you don't like it.
The above five reasons are some of the common reasons that I summarized, we look at their own problems in what place, first of all, to know their own problems, in order to change.
This article is what I wrote before, for those who can't find the direction can take a look. Become a good designer, you can not help but understand the 4600 words of knowledge (thinking to cognition gorgeous change)
Working for five years I think you have tried all kinds of design, but also know what you are good at? What do you like?
What you need to do now is to give up some dispensable skills, those who can not be used for a year and a half of skills decisively give up,hollister france, cut off the use of skills selection is still practical.
Learning too much is not a good thing, but is your obstacle, this time, you need to remove the chaff, leaving its essence, in order to a year and a half only use the skills to spend a month to learn, is very unwise.
For example, many designers to learn PS, will be all the functions, commands, all finished learning, necessary?
No need to do in the design of commonly used features not more than ten, and different types of design, commonly used features are not the same, such as LOGO designers use to do more is to adjust the node, adjust the color, shape and other tools, and graphic artist commonly used is the color palette, color gradient, curves and other tools.
You see the same PS, different designers commonly used tools are not the same, you learn all the commands once, really not necessary, in fact, when you use more than not learned the command will be.
Learning a software command to have trade-offs, learning skills to have trade-offs, brush the phone, chatting also have to trade-offs, time is wasted by these dispensable things.
5 years have you ever thought of a question, how much time spent on learning, there is a year?
Currently you need to give up some skills, choose a main skill, in-depth study, in-depth study, such as LOGO design, the surface is just drawing a graphic, which is a lot of designers to learn the surface skills.
After going deeper, you will find that LOGO is a brand, a symbol that carries a company/brand, it is a visual system. the standard of LOGO is not beautiful or ugly, but whether it can be remembered, whether it can be applied on the ground, whether it is in line with the market and so on.
If every skill you learn stays on the surface, you can't design well, and you can't design.
You learn to learn around your main skills, such as LOGO design, learning font design, VI design, cartoon IP design is to learn around the LOGO, are to do a better job of LOGO design, if you learn e-commerce design at this time, this is to run off, and back to the initial unfocused, chaotic learning, blind learning, the next five years you will still be asking why I will not! The design.
The best way to break through the five-year designer "focus", in a field to become a god, can not do all-around rookie, to do specialized god.
A very simple truth, you even if only the food class poster design, you are the food poster design field of the gods, you all-around and how, is still a rookie.
Speaking of omnipotence and specialization, I said a little more,
Many designers have this confusion, if I have a single skill to find a job no one wants ah? So I can only learn a lot of skills.
This problem is a contradiction in terms, there are achievements of people are sticking to one thing, but the market needs a multi-faceted hand, most people will choose to cater to the market, after all, to live.
This time you need to separate the work and your development direction, what do you mean?
Work needs to be versatile, does not mean that you start what all to be, but you work in the process of slowly will be more and more, if you look at the job information, you have to go to learn the skills required by the job information, then you will lose.
Skills can never be learned, new technology continues to develop, every year there are new tools, when you can meet the company's recruitment requirements.
The longer you work, the more skills you'll acquire and the more versatile you'll become.
Development of the direction of why to separate from the work, the work needs to be multi-skilled, but you do not need after work, the use of spare time to develop their own main skills, when your main skills have been accomplished, you have the right to choose,
You can pick those who only need to do a single design of the company, the company has a lot of such companies, a good company, each designer only need to design their own professional The good companies each designer only need to design their own specialized field of design on the line, so you can be better in the field of specialization.
Not to cater to the needs of the company, but more to consider self-development. If you can't jump out of this circle, you can only be an all-around rookie.
Whether you use your spare time or go to work, I want to tell you is that you can do a multi-faceted, but you need to spend more time in the main skills of learning, the main skills to do every day to learn and eat the same, auxiliary skills can not be used.
Summarized into one sentence, the first breakthrough in a point, first let yourself have a point of light, this light will irradiate your other aspects, other aspects will become excellent, why the excellent people more and more excellent, excellent people at the beginning of the success of only one thing.
5 years of designers out of the lost method is "focus", find a point to break through.
