As a designer, should we learn the front end?

Painting is painting, and design is design. You can't accomplish your painting dream by design.

What is design? Design is a thinking process to achieve a goal through the resources you have. Use aluminum alloy as a bench that can last longer, and use reflective materials as a high-speed reminder.

Design is born to solve problems.

According to the description of the topic, in fact, you want to do design, which is just a kind of thinking demand. So you will compare designs by drawing pictures. Painting is a way to express design, and painting can be higher than design, because painting can convey an idea. That's an artist, but artists are bitter, and poor people can't be artists.

The front end is still very interesting, H5 page/can van/animation/ compatibility. Designers can feel how to present 2d, but you can decide how to make it move and how to move it. Also, two years ago, I asked Ctrip's front-end engineers why they could make the network an almost original experience. There are many details, such as how to ensure the text size and spacing of the iphoe5 6 plus and the model. How to transition from the first interface to the second interface is not so stiff. How to reduce the use of pictures? How to realize configurable modularity and free skin changing? How to write a useful front-end framework and open it? The front end is not simple, and there are many things to do.

See here, if you still want to do design, pure visual design. Let me give you some advice:

1. sort out a set of your understanding of design and go your own way on this basis.

2. Illustrators can be professionals, and comics can only be hobbies and sideline, because most cartoonists in China can't support themselves, even if they are so excellent.

3. Go to an advertising company, the more formal the better, get a low salary, follow a good teacher, and make up the gap between you and other designers.

4. Find the orientation of your painting, whether it is animals, people, scenes or concepts.

5. Take time to understand the difference between ui designers, interaction designers, graphic designers and visual designers. Let me give you a suggestion. From the first naming, all kinds of work are on call.

6. If you still have doubts after studying for a while, ask me again, so that you can absorb more when I explain it to you, which can be translated into your own understanding.
