What qualifications do you need to be a UI designer?

With the increase of working years, people will pay less and less attention to academic qualifications, because what people should pay attention to is your skills and successful business cases.

One of the teacher's classmates is a graduate of the same period as me. She studied very well, but she had a lower education and didn't finish high school. After graduation, of course, after many twists and turns, I was finally hired by a large company in Beijing. The design team inside is very strong and there are many design cows! Soon, my female classmate accumulated a lot of practical experience, and after two job-hopping, within two years, she had a monthly salary of 2 weeks.

the designer's ability is greater than the diploma.

Just like a UI designer in my office, who graduated from junior high school, but got along well in the company. He can handle difficult bosses and customers. He said that he can definitely do what he can, and no matter how many designers change what he can't do, he can't do it. With papers, many of them are higher than his academic qualifications. But few people are better than him.

?

there are many such people. But I can also find a bunch of people who graduated from diploma mill, shouting that their diplomas are useless, but in the end they can't do anything. And their proportion is far greater than that of a person with a high degree of education who can do nothing. I met so many such people that most of them were fired after failing the probation period.

When you have worked for many years and your ability has been improved, you can safely say that a diploma is useless. If you look for a job, no one will care about your education. But as a person who hasn't graduated, you must face up to it.

A diploma is a proof that you have passed all the courses and disciplines required for this diploma. Without a diploma, you can also improve through self-study and distance education.

Designers really don't have much direct relationship with diplomas. Diploma is a low-cost screening method in enterprise recruitment. If you don't have a diploma, like me, you need to speak with your ability and grasp the key points in your resume to interest the other party. But a diploma is a bonus for designers. Frankly speaking, it would be better to have it, but not necessarily bad

From two points of view:

1. Discussion: Education is important

1) As far as I know, foreign companies and state-owned enterprises have certain requirements for designers' education, including bachelor degree or above. Other enterprises can generally be junior college, and their works can speak.

A netizen replied:

I have a college degree, and my major is game animation. At present, I am doing interface visual design in Tencent MIG desktop security products department. The product is Tencent computer housekeeper that you hate. Whether the degree of senior designer (D3) is important or not really depends on your own judgment.

2) From the fixed thinking, excellent schools produce excellent talents. The visual design from Central America and Gome can't be bad. The level of interaction designers from high-quality universities of science and engineering will not be much worse. You are nervous about the interview, and your boss is nervous. Everyone is afraid of being fooled. In this year, plagiarism and embezzlement are rampant in the design field. It is better to see that a famous school is generally relatively safe, at least the college entrance examination is difficult to fool.

3) From my personal experience, graduate students majoring in design from famous universities, in fact, their academic qualifications do not improve their design ability, but a group of outstanding students learn from each other. The so-called master leads the way, and practice depends on individuals. From the later period of undergraduate course, the nature of design ability depends on whether you put your heart into it or not. Life is easier than that of people who didn't study. Design is the easiest to graduate, and teachers will basically give you kindness.

2. Education doesn't matter

1) Those people whose education is generally famous in the design field: Token Hu et al. I have experienced excellent companies, excellent partners, and I have worked hard to achieve today's achievements. Design is a practical subject, which is true. Education is only the threshold, and practical experience is particularly important, so you can learn more. I quite agree with this. There are many foreign designers who have never been to college, but they have the same thing. They love design very much, are single-minded and work hard. A friend has been in college for four years, and basically studied design for two years. Others are studying some public courses that are available and not available.

2) general enterprises, design, not based on the design department, is to find someone who can draw, can use it, and can't be a meal.

3) If you think he is important, he is important; Wherever you want to go, he is important if you think he is important. Your parents think that your education is insurance, then he is insurance, that's all.

Summary

Diploma is a guarantee as well as a restriction. As the old saying goes, "A master leads the door, and practice is in the individual", so is the design, but it is different from a trained class that has never been touched. Both of them have the possibility of success and mediocrity. Opportunity, talent and hard work are all indispensable conditions for a good designer. You can't arbitrarily judge the quality of a designer by his diploma, but the ability of a designer to speak with his works is king.
