Can graphic design switch to UI design?

First of all, I am also a UI that changes careers halfway. You studied graphic design and UI. In the current Internet environment, there are still many Internet industries that are booming and there are many UI opportunities. It turns out that many colleges and universities don't have UI majors. In addition, this year's special situation has caused a gap in the UI industry, requiring a large number of talents.

Personal suggestions can be transferred to UI. Nothing is feasible, just see if you dare to fight. You say yourself that you don't want to be eliminated by the times, then you will become a person who will not be eliminated by the times. At present, ui still has a lot of room for development in the future. You can look at some recruitment software. There are always companies that recruit UI designers.

If you decide to change careers, I will give you two learning suggestions: self-study can exercise the habit of active learning and self-study ability, and the duration, progress and difficulty of learning can be controlled independently; Self-taught exams can save high tuition fees and a lot of expenses, and reduce their economic pressure.

Disadvantages of self-study: interpersonal isolation, lack of opportunities to communicate with others, difficulties encountered in learning may take a long time to solve, or even can not be effectively solved; It is difficult to systematically learn the knowledge system and experience skills of UI design, and it is easy to take many detours.

Regarding the courses that follow the teacher, I will systematically learn the UI knowledge system and master the UI design step by step. Be able to learn

Going to a course planned according to the company's needs is equivalent to having work experience after training and going to work in the company, not accustomed to directly entering the work situation. If you encounter problems, you can consult your teachers or classmates in time to avoid detours;

After-school work can train hands-on ability, and virtual projects can train the ability to communicate and cooperate with people. Homework after class can exercise your hands-on ability, expand your thinking, and exercise your ability to communicate and cooperate with others.

Disadvantages of applying for classes: it requires a certain economic foundation and the tuition fee is high (it is very common for tuition fees to exceed 10,000 yuan); It is necessary to screen reliable training institutions in many aspects. There are too many training institutions now, and some training courses value profits far more than education itself, and the teaching quality is much higher.

But it is not satisfactory. When choosing a training institution, we need to do various surveys, look at the faculty of the institution, and read the evaluation of the institution by the students who have passed the class. You can visit more training institutions and listen to their audition courses. Finally, I hope I can help you. Just mine.

Personal point of view.

What others say, or you make your own decision. Of course, the decision is still up to you.
