Social and technical work is very popular now. Whether now or in the future, graphic designers are still considered to be a very good career, because the supply of talents is far below the market demand. The following is a summary of what graphic design is mainly about.

Many designers' works are either chromatic aberration or do not meet the printing standards after printing. Then I just don't know what materials to choose and so on. For example, many novice flyers are designed as 2 10*297mm(A4 size), while printing houses are designed as 2 10*285mm. This will only increase the printing cost and waste money if it fails to meet the standard. For example, when we design business cards, many people only know to use coated paper and four colors, but there are many other papers and techniques to choose from. Wait, learning prepress knowledge can make your work taller and make you a mature graphic designer!
