Some personal views on learning UI in Kunming

After experiencing a period of work fatigue in 215, I decided to use my savings from my previous job to make a brand-new investment for myself. At that time, with the idea that "e-commerce is getting hotter and hotter", I chose UI design. The following are some personal summaries and opinions after the study, which are not aimed at or deliberately discredited any relevant training institutions. If you consider going to a big city for development, please close this article directly. This article is only aimed at friends who want to study and develop in Kunming. definition of UI (Baidu):

UI is the abbreviation of User Interface. UI design refers to the overall design of human-computer interaction, operation logic and beautiful interface of software. Good UI design not only makes the software personalized and tasteful, but also makes the operation of the software comfortable, simple and free, which fully reflects the positioning and characteristics of the software.

software design can be divided into two parts: coding design and UI design. The original intention of UI is User Interface, which is the abbreviation of English user and interface. Literally, it consists of two parts: user and interface, but in fact it also includes the interaction between user and interface.

? What you need to learn in UI design: PS,AI,ID,CDR,FL,DW,AE, all of which need to be mastered, followed by e-commerce courses and some theoretical courses. And these courses I am talking about will take half a year to learn under the condition of full-time production. If you spend your spare time or weekends, the time is longer. And the study fee is not less than 15, yuan. So, the first question is whether you have enough time and money to support this study.

? Be sure to ask yourself: "What is the purpose of your choice of UI?" I have a deep preference for interactive design; Or because this course has the software you want to learn; Or, like me, I chose this course because I thought my salary would be higher. If, like me, you choose to think that e-commerce makes money, then, as a person who has been through it, I think it is necessary for you to go to the recruitment website to look at the recruitment of UI, and then combine yourself to see if it is really suitable for learning UI design.

? The training schools I have studied myself include Dana, einsun, Tianhu and Jade Bird.

Dana, what I hate very much is Dana's enrollment method. All kinds of recruitment online have Dana's recruitment, with high salary and unlimited work experience. In short, all kinds of salaries are high and the requirements are low. However, after you go in for a series of seemingly formal interviews, you will be asked to consider training first with various requirements. It is said that most of the lectures are given by video. As for other problems, please help yourself to Baidu ...

einsun and Jade Bird, both of which are school trainings, which take longer. I think this kind of training is more suitable for students, but not for those who have already worked and want to be promoted.

Tianhu is the last place I chose, because it is an institution that has been doing computer training and the course is taught face to face all the time, so I chose this place.

Let's talk about the feelings after learning ... Well, please remember a sentence: "Learning is your own business, especially in the training class." Before paying the money, the training school will give you many good additional conditions, such as recommending employment, re-studying for free for life, and having various certificates. However ... friends ... behind these seemingly good added values, there are also various additional conditions ~

Recommended employment: Well, roughly speaking, it is to find recruitment information from various recruitment websites and push it to the students at school, and then go to the interview on your own ... If you need such an arrangement, please skip this paragraph.

lifelong free re-learning: this is something that the school will definitely promise, but ... for those who choose UI, please note that the learning time of UI courses is very long. You study this just to get a job? However ... because UI learning takes too long, there are basically only off-the-job courses at present, so, if you want to continue to check for gaps, do you still have time?

certificate: at present, I have only one certificate of completion, while the professional certificate mentioned earlier ... exists, but I have to pay again to take the exam.

finally, regarding the UI design itself, it is indeed a good career choice, but the probability of getting started immediately by such half-year training is basically not high, and Kunming belongs to a relatively backward second-tier city, which is still in a backward state in terms of e-commerce. Therefore, the small partners who really choose UI still have a long way to go on the road of getting a high salary after learning.
