Design: Communication and communication questions

Well, since I said that in fact, no one is more cattle than who , we think that communication is a very cabbage thing, these two days plus my QQ and email friends obviously enthusiastic, the public morale has lost control. And when I and two of the industry after Daniel Chatter, and finally found that they will face the situation is very cold-in the face of the influx of advice and admiration, Daniel also feel very tired, at a loss.

So I see from the root to solve this problem, on the question of advice to a sequel good, and you look forward to the fancies, rather than teach people to fish, from the technical find a means of progress. Daniel also has more time to relax, and will not answer the question of small white is small white mistaken for B.

1. first or foremost, you have to rely on yourself . This is a big premise, the designer's biggest enemy is lazy and lack of independent thinking of the consciousness, there are many small white always "open-minded" and "ask for advice" confused, naturally caused a situation very embarrassing. When you ask for a question, you need to decide whether it is a problem, if it has an answer, when the best teacher is Google, and if it's a software problem, you should look at the help document first. Especially on a number of technical issues, if it is an obvious answer you do not go to search, this can only mean that you treat the object as a repetition machine or book, and he can not get paid, but also to wait online, but also a quiet whisper of service ... Isn't that funny?

There is also a situation, the object of the study as the work of the memory of bread, encounter their own can not think of the problem, would like to bite-the subtext is "you are not very good?" Let's see if this is going to work. "If this is the mentality, it feels like playing a game of picking up a fault."

2. Learn how to speak . Experienced people have come up with a silly answer, first of all because of a stupid question. I found that the more impetuous the designers tend to lower the EQ, for many need to accumulate experience is always hope to eat into a fat, there are some more than 2 of questions open the way as follows:
"I have a logo to design, do not know how to do, you can say?" ”
"I'm going to catch a design assignment, but it's due tomorrow, can you help me draw one?" ”
"What is the shortcut key to this feature?" My version is in English. ”
"Why does my interface design always feel a little blurry?" ”

On how to ask questions, there are a lot of emphasis on communication skills of the book can be used for reference, I will not long-winded, the key is whether the white are willing to take the time to see. If you are willing to improve your communication skills, it also shows that you are willing to respect and communicate with your audience. Here are some of the better things to start with:
"This is my plan, I am more satisfied, but the boss is not satisfied, you can help me see it?" The boss's opinion is ... "
"I want to imitate the works of XXX, I drew one, but in some places I always feel that there is a problem, I do not know what the problem is." ”
"Our company's designers in the design process is always not unified, can we invite you to give us a training?" ”

When you communicate with the designers you want to consult, their way of speaking is also the object of your study, remember their description of things, for the design of the point of view, are very helpful experience.

3. methods of accumulating experience . Asking questions is not going to accumulate any experience, each repetition of the question in some people seems to be so familiar but so unfamiliar, because the answer is too simple, and lack of their own thinking, but also because some "teachers" to take care of, let him feel that the difficulties of design is so fragile. The real need to accumulate design experience is not to read a few books can come, must be from the product design process, some may be their own lessons, some may be other people's lessons. Every painful lesson is like a horse, some horses are very docile, some horses are very strong, some horses in estrus, some horses in sickness ... complex situations form the experience of riding your horse, and this experience needs to be enhanced by observing, recording, analyzing, judging, commenting, etc.

For example, I will prepare a book, this book is recorded in each customer communication and communication points, every time the product policy changes based on each design process, the highlights and errors, and even the design process encountered a sudden event, of course, also have a sudden thought of visual effects, or a novel way of interaction ... The solution to the problem is easy to solve, but how to accumulate the right experience through a problem needs constant thinking.

4. do not occupy other people's time and achievements . Consult is not robbing, although like I hang QQ and gtalk, but I also want to work, also want to meet, also want to read materials, so the answer to the question naturally have a choice, even difficult to take care of. Please use your IQ to determine whether your problem will occupy a lot of people's time, whether others are busy, also chatter, if you encounter the kind of a problem to send 10 times of the goods, I in addition to delete friends, what else can do?

In addition, my friend has encountered one thing: someone added to his later directly asked: "You this work of the source document can give me?" I'm going to copy it. "-Is there no shame in the design circles of the Celestial kingdom now?" If you encounter such a direct desire to capture other people's achievements and labor of the fruit of the "steal" art, only one end waiting for you, you y please fuck off.

According to my observation, most designers are night owls, evening time is more flexible, if you have good enough questions, please use the evening online time to submit. Of course, choosing a message is also a more polite way, and writing something, at least you can speak clearly.

5. Give thanks and return . Reciprocity is an excellent national tradition, but modern people do not seem to understand, a lot of small white after the question, incredibly even thank you did not, this is not posture mischief, but a kind of eat flies feeling. Originally from the same root of the class feelings, for most of the small white problem, as long as the time allowed under the premise, I try to answer, but I found that the free lunch is accustomed to eat, the guest's temper is also up.

It's like you ask the teacher in school, get help, at least have a verbal gratitude or sincere smile, we all for the harmonious society to do a little effort. If others help you to give advice on greeting card design, it is not difficult to send a picture to your teacher when you design it, at least I do it when I am a little white. Some knowledge outside of the interaction, it will make our industry more humane, if you use people as a tool, a little longer time also needs lubricating oil.

Therefore, for the later impolite all small white, I will price, each answer a technical question charge 0.5 yuan, this is our country network text charges minimum standard, please small white and small white through Alipay account payment, thank you.
