Most people won't read the following article carefully, but those who really read it will become the mainstream designers in the future, because this article is for the mainstream designers in the future, so others should take a detour.
Originality, creativity and plagiarism are the most unavoidable problems for designers who use PhotoShop to design, and most people don't understand these three points. Their wrong idea is like this: 1, originality means doing it yourself from scratch. 2. Creativity is an idea that comes out of your mind at will. 3. Plagiarism is the most shameful thing, and it is a very shameful thing.
These are the three points that you will encounter when you design with PhotoShop. If that's what you think about the above three points. Then the design must be bad. Because I never think like this when I do design, but I think like this:
1, integrating other people's original things and modifying them can also become your own original.
2. Combining the creativity of two or three people is your own creativity.
3. Copying one person's work is copying, while copying three people's works into one work is not copying.
You must question my three points, right? Then I'll use a real case to tell you why PhotoShop must use the three ways of thinking I provided when designing. Because that's what I think, and so does Jobs.
Do you know that?/You know what? The case of the world's first home computer is Jobs' masterpiece. Wow, you said Jobs was awesome, right? But I'm sorry, this is the computer case of Steve Jobs' Apple II. When apple 1 generation, they didn't think they needed a chassis at all. Do you think that Steve Jobs was also such an uncreative person? But we all recognize him as the father of creativity. So how did he come up with the computer case in the second generation of Apple?
He thinks this way: when he decided to upgrade Apple 1 generation computers to Apple's second generation computers, he proposed that the exposed motherboard was ugly and needed a beautiful shell like a TV set. That's how it looks. OK, I have the concept. Then did he suddenly appear a beautiful computer case? No, because although he has a concept in his mind, he really doesn't know what the computer case should look like. So he decided to go to the market with his partner and look for inspiration. As a result, he saw many beautiful refrigerators. He said, wow, the appearance of these household appliances is so fashionable. Our computers should also have such a sense of fashion. Then he went back to the office and hired an industrial designer to design a scaled-down version of the refrigerator to Apple's computer case. The world's first home version of the computer case was born.
What will you understand if you read the story carefully? Did the originality of Jobs' computer case really pop out of his mind? No, he just pointed out the shortcomings. But he doesn't know how to design the chassis. So does PhotoShop design. Many of us will put forward shortcomings, but the problem is that we don't know how to improve. So you see how Jobs did it. He is not alone sitting there thinking hard about an irrelevant idea. Because he knows very well that no matter what he thinks, his mind is empty. Just like in the hard disk of a computer, if you don't install a game on the computer, the computer won't be born for no reason. A game is the same. So he chose the second point I mentioned above. Go to the market right away, because there was no internet, Baidu and Google search at that time.
So today, you should immediately think of it. I should first look at other people's existing designs and see if they can inspire me. Oh, Jobs just used the second point I mentioned above, combining two or three other people's ideas, and making a few modifications to become his own ideas. Remember, the refrigerator to the computer case is cross-industry. So searching for creative ideas is not for you to find the same industry. But often cross-industry. For example, if I design a milk tea poster, I won't be silly to see what good works there are in the milk tea poster. If you look around, most milk tea posters are ugly. And I am a cross-industry, so I jumped into the fields of coffee, Pizza Hut, KFC and egg tart to find materials. As a result, a lot of excellent designs came out. Just like there is a lot of gold on a full golden hill, you can pick it up. So I picked up a few elements that I thought were the most suitable for my milk tea poster design. And then integrate it a little. Dangdang Dangdang a relaxed poster design is completed.
And Jobs' creativity just caters to the third point. If he is a refrigerator maker, then copying the refrigerator directly is plagiarism. But if he works in computers, but plagiarizes refrigerators across industries, he will become original.
Jobs is not a great genius, and the future China will be born, starting from here. Can you understand why American design is so powerful now? That's because Americans, like Steve Jobs, have a premise of drawing lessons from refrigerators when designing. You should know the fashionable refrigerator design, but it took more than half a century to feel fashionable. If you copy an excellent graphic design work. In fact, you are copying a text arrangement method that has been refined for over a hundred years. Although you don't know how many secrets are hidden inside. But when you do this, you are actually standing on the shoulders of giants.
When you don't know how to design, please read these three sentences I gave you again and again. Then do it and follow it. You will be able to make a design far beyond your own imagination.
Magic Design is the first complete PhotoShop graphic design solution to solve non-creative thinking in China. You can use this method in industrial design, animation design, fashion design, bridges, airplanes and other industries. Because all the design industries follow this law, that is, they stand on other people's designs for further improvement and re-processing. Without a good design, it starts from scratch. I always copy and change my designs. And you can't make a good design. You always start from scratch and think hard. I 10 have finished the poster design, so I'm going out for a cup of delicious coffee. And you may still be there, starting to design a poster with no results. It is self-evident which is easy and which is hard.
Recently, one person used the method in Magic Design very skillfully, that is, Luo Yonghao, who started to make mobile phones, and the method he used was redesigned on the shoulders of a giant like Jobs. He only made a little improvement on Jobs and won the praise of everyone. Now the question is Yuan Fang, what do you think?
When you can't make a good-looking graphic design, you might as well learn the magic design method carefully: your harvest will not be a little, but completely change your existing design thinking mode. Are you ready?
