Why is it difficult for UI designers to find jobs?

The professional quality that UI designers need is not only to understand user page design, but also to have a good artistic foundation and have their own opinions on "interaction". So blind UI designers are hard to find. Usually those who call themselves UI designers are probably just "artists".

craftsmanship

My roommate who used to rent a house together was a UI designer. At that time, I was curious to ask her what the most basic requirements were. She replied: "The most basic thing is to have the basic knowledge of painting." According to her, I used to study fine arts, and a good foundation in fine arts has brought great convenience to this job. And she told me the way to improve my painting level quickly, that is, to attend training classes with senior three students. So that at least beginners can get started quickly.

Understand design

When you have a good art foundation, the next thing to do is to "copy". If you copy it well, it will be a real introduction. Yes, just learn how others design. This is not plagiarism, this is looking for feelings in imitation. Slowly, after you can copy more complex designs, you can find your own inspiration design.

"interactive" experience

This is the most demanding, and it is also impossible for ordinary beginners to teach themselves. It usually takes a long time of work experience to feel what kind of design is the most humanized from the user's point of view. Only in this way can we realize what real interactive thinking is.

Therefore, if you want to find a UI designer with the above professional qualities, it is certainly difficult to find. But why do you think it's easy to find and do it everywhere? In fact, it's because some people don't distinguish between "artists" and "UI designers".
