Is it good to learn graphic design?

Its main advantages are as follows:

◇◆ 1. Wide range of applications◆◇

Graphic design is created in a two-dimensional space. Or combine symbols, graphics, and text to express visual expressions of ideas and messages. Its core parts include: creativity, composition, graphic design, font design, layout design, color matching, etc. Therefore, strictly speaking, graphic advertising, posters, book design, packaging design, font design, logo design, brand design, web design, UI design, and e-commerce design all belong to the category of graphic design.

Because the application range of graphic design is so wide, almost every company cannot do without graphic design, and the market demand for graphic designers is very large. This feature also creates the second largest field of graphic design. Advantages.

◇◆ 2. Good employment◆◇

Since graphic design is widely used and the market demand is large, it is not difficult for a graphic designer to find a job. The difficulty is Find a job that meets your expectations in terms of work content, environment, remuneration, etc.

Two days ago I searched for graphic designer recruitment information in Guangzhou on 51job

◇◆ 3. The threshold is low◆◇

Although I personally don’t agree that the threshold for graphic design is low, but I have to admit that there are indeed many people who become graphic designers just because they know a little bit of PS or AI and other graphic design software. Although they cannot enter a big company at the beginning, But there are still opportunities to join some small teams and companies. Because the threshold is low and the salary is decent, it attracts many people without any skills or high education.

Why is the threshold for the graphic design industry so low? The main reason is that the aesthetics of Chinese people are uneven, and the value of graphic design has not been generally recognized. Many companies or brands’ requirements for graphic design are that it is enough to have it, and it does not matter whether it is good or bad. A low threshold can strengthen an industry, but it can also affect the professionalism of graphic designers and reduce designers’ prices. Fortunately, the design industry is changing with each passing day, and Chinese people's aesthetics are gradually improving, and the threshold for graphic design will definitely become higher and higher.

◇◆4. Be creative ◆◇

What is design? If you understand these two words literally, you can see that this is something that requires effort and brainpower. An excellent graphic design work needs to solve many problems, such as accurately conveying information, attracting consumers' attention, and winning Consumer favorability, leaving an impression on consumers, promoting consumers to pay, etc.

So graphic designers need to put a lot of thought into designing each piece of work to be beautiful, creative, simple, novel, personalized, interesting, visually impactful, etc. In addition, due to different industries, Different customers have different problems that need to be solved, and the design needs will be very many and very different. If you are tired of one way, you can change to another way, and if a customer is tired of it, you can change to another customer. Therefore, I even think that graphic design is one of the most creative and fresh design industries, and if you are a non-creative person, it is difficult to go very far on the road of graphic design.

◇◆5. Easy to switch to other design industries◆◇

Although Ui design, web design, and e-commerce design also belong to the category of graphic design, due to their specific design The content, application media, and problems that need to be solved are very different, so in actual work, it is almost completely independent from graphic design, and has even formed a separate design industry. This is the result of market segmentation.

But then again, even though Ui design, web design, and e-commerce design have become independent, after all, their parent body is graphic design, and their components are also layout design, color matching, graphic design, etc., so, If you are a good graphic designer, even if you have never been exposed to UI design, you can easily switch over.
