Design Experience Sharing

1. Proposal.

An experienced designer will prepare at least three designs for the customer to choose when submitting the documents.
First: 100% self-favorite style, bring yourself to the extreme.
Second, 50% customers like each other and 50% customers like each other.
Third: 0%. I like it myself and give up my style completely based on the customer's requirements.

With the above three preparations, you will always be very calm when submitting your documents. For beginners who have no experience, only one proposal is provided to the customer.
What should I do if you like it very much, customers don't like it, and you cannot talk about it from different perspectives? Looking for a third party to comment, he will usually follow the customer's direction and deny you. In this way, the boss said that what you did was not good, and then he went back to redo it, when the time is tight, the boss is not happy (with something you don't like) and you are not happy (although you did it with me, but you still don't recognize it .) Both parties are suffering.

2. Persistence.

This character is the least needed character for beauty editing, but you need to strive for it. When you try to communicate with the customer and the boss. When people still do not like it, they should immediately give up their existing ideas and start from scratch. Persistence is useless, because you are not a famous designer of oomei, not a master, and you insist that it is useless.

3. artist or designer.

Is it an artist who makes a puzzle or an art designer. There is a big difference between the two. One is a worker, one is a manual worker, the other is a wise man, and the other is a brain worker ).
Second-stream artists only stack effects, while good designers usually only use the simplest method.

4. An experienced beauty editor usually has several questions to ask during the transfer.

First: What to do (posters, roll-up banners, books)
Second, what is the topic, what should we highlight, and learn more about the product information (what age people consume, their position in similar products, and what is the media)
Third, it is necessary to clarify what materials the customer can provide (such as the logo and other necessary factors) and what materials they need to find to suit the background of the product.
Third: What to submit (this is the most important issue)
Preparations are much more important than hands-on operations, just like taking the wrong direction.

5. The boss asked you to submit the paper in three days.

Generally, when the boss asks you to submit a draft in three days, you can only give him 70 points. If you say, boss, I can't finish it in three days. It will take four days. On the fourth day, the boss would like to see a work of 85 points.

6. What are your specialties? (When the boss asks the editor)

How do you answer this question when the boss asks you? I am talking about web pages.
The boss smiled and said, "This is like asking you what you love? You answer, food.
What food do I ask? A: Chinese food. I still don't know what you love.
If you say that you love spicy food, boiled fish, and Mapo tofu ...... Then I will know what you love.
Back to the original question, the specialty is the style issue.
You can say that I am good at cartoon style, modern style, traditional style ......

7. Intelligent interviewers.

One person came to interview with the editor and planned to divide his work into two categories. He liked (representing his style); he did (representing his level ), editing is a subjective task. If you say yes, it is not good. There is no measurement standard for the work.

8. after half a year of preparation, I was bored and wanted to switch.

I used to like this line at school. My dream is to design things in the office every day. They are different every day.
However, I have been getting bored since I started my work. When I sat down in front of a computer, my heart began to get bored. The boss said, do you know why? No one scolded you when I went to school. After arriving at the company, people said that you could not do what you did, didn't recognize it, and lacked a sense of accomplishment, so you are bored.
I said, I am afraid there will be bottlenecks when doing this and there will be no major development.
The boss said that every line will encounter a bottleneck, but you haven't done any other line and haven't found it yet, so you feel that editing is the most painful job.
I said, I do not like to work in front of a computer every day. Not every day.
The boss said, who asked you to do it in a day? You are yourself. You can draw a draft before you do it. Take the draft to communicate with your boss and customer. Don't rush to final the draft on the computer. This is an interactive process!

9. career path of an editor.

A: After graduation, an advanced and professional big advertising company can broaden its horizons, accumulate experience, find someone with high skills (maybe someone with you), or learn from many excellent colleagues.
B: Go to a non-professional company to do professional work or department manager.
C: Finally, I jumped out and got my own portal. (The customer source is a problem. I started to bring some customers, concentrate on design and customer satisfaction. Later, I spent too much time packing production and printing to make more money, as a result, the design level has declined, the customer is not satisfied, and the customer is killed and no longer active ......)
D: there is no way at last, so we have to start from the company and now we can become the creative director of a large company.

10. A person's life needs a mentor.

This person must have two conditions.
A: You must be older than you.
B: You must achieve something in your career.
(With the above two points, it doesn't matter if it is in the same field .)
When you talk to your colleagues about your work problems, they usually say (the boss is the same, it's okay, let's go, and sing together at night .) It will not help you.
A good teacher needs a good student and a good student needs a good question.
I asked you what you want? How to get ...... In this way, the answer is given by yourself.

11. Do not reject unknown things or people.
