1. Understand graphic design
Before learning graphic design, we must first have a preliminary understanding of graphic design. The concept of graphic design is relatively abstract, so I won’t elaborate too much. Let’s talk about the specific application scope of graphic design directly. The application scope of graphic design includes: logos (trademarks and brands), publications (magazines, newspapers and books) , print ads, posters, billboards, website graphic elements, logos and product packaging, etc.
2. Choose a learning method that best suits you
After understanding graphic design, we need to choose a learning method that best suits us. Beginners who learn graphic design mainly include self-study, online learning, and face-to-face training classes.
3. Have a good learning attitude
We must maintain a good learning attitude when doing anything, and learning graphic design is no exception. Because you have an attitude towards learning, your attitude can determine the level of learning. Learning is an arduous process, and whether you can maintain a high degree of enthusiasm during this process directly determines the richness of your learning content and the skills you need to master.
4. Proficient software operation skills
Commonly used design software for graphic design include PS, AI and CDR, etc. Graphic designers are not draftsmen, nor are they picture editors. Mastering the use of necessary related software is the most basic and necessary. It looks simple on the surface, but in fact, if you really go deep inside, there is still a lot of knowledge.
5. Have good communication skills
To learn graphic design well, you need to have certain communication skills. Because they have certain communication skills, graphic designers can better grasp the ideas and needs of customers, and the designed works will have a market. At the same time, designers must often communicate with classmates, teachers, colleagues, and outstanding peers to exchange design experiences and learn from experts, so that they can progress faster.
