My so-called know-how has not been certified by ISO900X, and it is not a secret prescription that can cure all diseases. It is just a little experience of my own and a thorough local method, which is only for your reference.
So called talent (left brain and right brain)
That is, whether you have artistic talent, talent may exist, which mainly depends on the division of labor between human left and right brains. The left brain is mainly responsible for logical understanding, language, judgment, classification, analysis and reasoning. Such talents may be more sensitive to mathematics, logic and detail analysis. The right brain is mainly responsible for emotion, intuition, imagination, creativity, symbol and inspiration. The thinking of such talents is perceptual, and they are sensitive to music, images, space and abstract objects. The ability of the left and right brain is not completely innate, and can be activated through acquired exercise. No one can do anything since he was born. Even if a god monkey like Monkey King jumped out of the stones in the East Holy Land, he would have to cross mountains and rivers, climb mountains and cross mountains, and pass 9981. How about us? Many people have encountered such a problem. Why is the webpage designed by others so beautiful? If you design it yourself, the color is wrong and the layout is ugly? In fact, there is no need to be nervous about this. I have seen many works of experts when they first started their career, which may not be as good as yours. So we must improve our confidence. Talent may be tempered by the efforts of the day after tomorrow and long-term cultivation.
From art or design class
This is very important. If you want to learn design well, it will be a very good background to be a student of art and design. Having experienced strict, systematic and regular training will make you truly reborn. As we know, many design experts at home and abroad, whether they are graphic design, web design or animation design, are from formal art schools. As in the Sui and Tang dynasties, why was Vagang Stronghold finally acquired by the Tang Dynasty? Li Shimin was born into an imperial family and noble family, and he also learned to be an emperor in his class. Unlike Cheng Yaojin, although he has the chance to be the emperor, he has not received systematic training and is not professional. Another example is Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms. Although his godfather's status is not very honorable, he can also be regarded as having stayed in the imperial palace. Although Liu Bei claims to have royal blood, he is only a straw sandal seller after all. Ha ha, here is a joke. However, most people don't have the opportunity to study in different courses. For example, my first major is computer Science, the second major is English However, since I have been engaged in the field of design, I should constantly supplement the corresponding art professional knowledge through various ways to make up for my professional deficiencies.
Long term artistic influence
Art needs to be nurtured for a long time, just as a person's temperament is nurtured by his environment for a long time. Those who are close to the ink will get red, and those who are close to the ink will get black. Art vision or appreciation ability can not be acquired in a short time. The words we usually refer to include scholarly family, lady of noble family, noble temperament, and artistic family. To sum up, we can say "edification". To sum up, we can say "long-term edification". For example, my family has summed up four words for me, which are called "delicious and lazy". This kind of temperament, of course, has been cultivated for a long time.
Appreciate and imitate the works of masters
A famous teacher makes excellent disciples. How high a master is? Even if he cannot reach his height, he is at least better than the average level. Now in the Internet era, it is not necessary to be an entry-level disciple or a direct disciple to learn from teachers. In particular, the web page itself is publicly released for everyone to see, and you can directly imitate and learn from it. Now the media is so developed that it can be delivered through TV lectures and the Internet video Tutorial, etc. There are so many books in Xinhua Bookstore that no one will hinder us from learning knowledge. It is no longer an age when people rob a sunflower treasure book and make a bloody scene. Let alone the Sunflower Treasure, even the Rose Treasure, Peony Flower Treasure, and Leek Flower Treasure can be a part of the whole staff. In addition, make good use of Google and Baidu. The search engine is your super library.
Return to nature
Mood is very important. It's a state of mind to watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court. Even if you are a genius, you will have no inspiration even if you are stuck in the computer room all day. Fishing, climbing mountains, watching wild flowers near fields, fish swimming in streams, white clouds in the sky, enjoying life At the same time, think about why the colors in nature are so comfortable and the forms of creatures in nature are so strange? Can't I imitate nature? Man himself is the product of nature. Of course, what we are most used to and look most comfortable is the combination of various forms and colors in nature. For example, many photographers like to go to places that are inaccessible, such as Tibet, or so and so islands, so and so mountains. Why? Because it is the closest to nature, and it is the most beautiful. Some people may say that scenic spots and historic sites are just like that. It is better to listen to the scenery than to see the scenery, and there may not be any inspiration when you really get there. I used to think so, but I didn't realize the truth until one day. I have a lot of affinity with Shaolin in Song Mountain. I have been there twice, but I didn't feel the style of a thousand year old temple at first. One day I stayed in the temple for a few days because of work needs. The mountain was warm in winter and cool in summer. It was summer at that time. I slept on the futon (the place where the monks took their seats). When I woke up at five or six o'clock in the morning, I simply went out for a walk. The temple was cold and quiet. One or two elderly sweeping monks were brushing and waving brooms in the temple, This reminds me of the eminent monk with excellent martial arts in Tianlong Babu. It was drizzling in the sky. When I passed the gingko tree embraced by several people at the front entrance of the hall, a gentle wind blew, and several pieces of ginkgo leaves fell from the tree. The artistic conception was too beautiful and poetic. It really made people want to express their feelings. Those gingko leaves were picked up by me and kept as bookmarks until now. From then on, I also realized why I always have no feeling when visiting scenic spots in the daytime. Because when visiting scenic spots in the daytime, there are often as many people as a cow's hair. Especially in summer, people are crowded, queue up to buy tickets, shout at the roadside to sell souvenirs, and involuntary tourists throw cans and ham sausage skins all over the place. Maybe a gust of wind blows, and what comes is not ginkgo leaves, but white plastic bags. Now I finally understand that the ancient people used to be very poetic when they visited mountains and rivers, which is because these scenic spots were not developed at that time.
Movies and DVDs
You should have leisure and money when traveling, and not everyone can go to places that are rarely visited. What if you have altitude sickness? Therefore, we might as well draw nutrients from TV, movies and DVD movies. For example, CCTV10 and other stations often show some science and education films about nature, humanities, history, geography and astronomy. These films are spectacular, grand, with unique shooting angles and contents that are often mysterious to us. For example, I like exploring frequency, human and nature, and animal planets. The other essence is advertising. Designers must change their passive view of advertising into active acceptance and analysis of advertising, see the brilliant creativity and expression methods of peers, and learn more knowledge from them that is not available in books. We should also watch more films, both at home and abroad. Take domestic films for example, such as Hero, Golden Goblet, Promise, etc. Although the market is mixed, one thing is worth affirming, that is, the artistic effect is really good, the scene is grand, the decoration is beautiful and gorgeous, and the color is bold. In addition, you can also buy some DVDs to watch, such as Disney cartoon blockbusters, Toy Story, Ice Age, etc. Another example is the BBC documentary, such as the Blue Planet series and the Dinosaur series. Long term appreciation of good films is a shortcut to improve your artistic cultivation and enrich your knowledge.
Pay attention to the details around you
Observe everything around carefully. Maybe the inspiration lies in the environment you ignore. For example, you can see the first model created by 3DMAX on the computer in front of you, or you can learn from the scrambled eggs and tomatoes Photoshop The concept of hybrid mode. I have read many foreigners' articles, and they always use cocktails to explain the mixing mode. To be honest, I am a local steamed bun, and I can't even drink dry red wine. Let alone cocktails, so it's more realistic for me to scramble eggs with tomatoes. So, look around you. The window next to you may be the best way to understand the concept of "mask". Take out the fresh-keeping film in the kitchen. Isn't this the "layer"?
Accumulate bit by bit
It is often seen in movies and TV plays that a person thinks about a problem and walks up and down the room, or scribbles on paper and then throws it into the trash. Everything in the camera, I saw that the wastebasket was full of words and paper, and a lot of them were scattered on the ground. First of all, I want to clarify my position. It is wrong to throw things about. It is not only a waste of national resources, but also a waste of flowers and plants. In my opinion, it is very important to record all kinds of creativity and ideas when thinking about problems, even though many ideas may seem unrealistic or even ridiculous. Many measures may not work at present, or even seem to never work. It doesn't matter. Everything can be recorded. A complete record will restore your mental journey at that time. Every idea is an unopened window. One day in the future, when you accidentally open a window that you once missed, it may be your inspiration portal. In addition, don't expect Xiaoyaozi to pass on his hundred year skills to you one day. It's too unscientific. Only in novels can he have the luck like Xuzhu. Experience value is accumulated slowly by oneself. For example, you should keep your usual exercises and works. At least, going out to apply for a job is a kind of thing. It may be useful in critical moments. It doesn't matter if you have a long history and a low level. In fact, things that have been around for years can explain the problem. When the manager looked at it, good guy, this guy has been designing web pages since Pangu started his business. What a bull!
Beauty is sometimes expensive
Mercedes Benz must be more beautiful than the tricycle, and the decoration of the hotel must be more gorgeous than the canteen. It seems too vulgar to say this, but I think it's also true. Luxury manufacturers have the ability to invite the best designers in the world to design products for them. Therefore, we might as well visit shopping malls and specialty stores frequently. If men do not like shopping malls, they may also be used as an opportunity to appreciate and learn industrial design. Here, you will have many opportunities to enjoy the classic works of international masters.
Art is interlinked, with extensive references
For example, literature, opera, dance, music and other art categories can all understand the true meaning of art. Art is a feeling to some extent. Only by integrating the knowledge learned from other categories with your design can your works be enriched and your creativity become more colorful. For example, in the Xiaoao Jianghu, Linghu Chong learned the superior swordsmanship of Song Mountain, Hua Mountain and Tai Mountain in the cave of the Siguo Cliff, and he also learned from Dugu Jiujian. This shows that not only art is interlinked, but also swordsmanship.
Don't avoid foreign languages
This is not to worship foreign countries. It is natural to make the past serve the present and foreign countries serve China. The graphics and images we currently learn Web Design The software is generally from abroad, and a good foreign language can help you master first-hand information. Generally speaking, after the English version of the software comes out, it will take weeks or even months to see the Chinese version or the simplified Chinese version. Don't underestimate the time difference. This is the market. For another example, if we want to learn Dreamweaver, we must learn HTML language, CSS style sheet, JavaScript, etc. If the foreign language is good, these codes will look less terrible.
Better a knowledgeable person than a knowledgeable one
There is no need to explain this too much. Only when you are interested in design, you will spend more time and energy to learn it. Otherwise, it is difficult to make achievements here.
Be childlike and curious
As for Shaolin Temple, an eminent monk enlightened me at that time. In the field of design, we must maintain a childlike innocence and think with a pure and inquisitive mind. If you lose curiosity about the things around you, you can't make a career in this industry. If you grow older and your brain becomes rigid, you will not be able to do this job at all. Now think about it, my evaluation only has four words: "The eminent monk is so tall!"
Unlimited creativity, active thinking
In the field of design, the mind must be active, and there must be no constraints. The mind should be more relaxed, and more relaxed. Your thinking can only be unconstrained, can be extended indefinitely, and can only be used flexibly by integrating what you have learned, seen, and experienced. Only when you break out of the rules can you suddenly become clear. The so-called "no move wins with move", the real unique skill is not rigidly adhere to the form, and can be freely played. For example, in the Jianghu, Dugu Jiujian, who was taught by the wind and the wind, is not really about it? In the story of Yitian Slaughtering the Dragon, Wuji completely forgot the sword move that Zhang Sanfeng passed on. In fact, it was not really forgotten, but reached another realm of perfection.
Step by step and stick to the end
Nothing can be accomplished in one move. It's like that Wukong has to go through hardships and dangers to achieve his goal. If Duan Yu wants to win Wang Yuyan's heart, he has to go through a thick book of eight dragons. It's urgent, comrades! It's good to sing, love This thing, four words "stick to the end", do design or life is the same, four words "stick to the end"!
