About collecting material:
Three times memory to keep you in mind the exact location and use of the mass of material and improve its usability
This is just a schematic. In the past days, I have done as long as the head of an idea, immediately can know I need to use the material in what position ... At that time I was very poor, poor enough to even buy books, not to mention the purchase of hundreds of fast design resources CD-ROM.
The designer's greatest feature, I think, is the folder that he is peculiar to, or called "Assorted", or" mess, "or" anything "or" hodgepodge ", here's something that no one would care too much,but often many good ideas or very dazzling effects are inspired from here.Can be said to be the essence of the place, it can be said to be the distribution center of garbage. I even judge a designer's level by whether or not this folder exists ...
During this period of coaching, I found a big problem. They know the importance of collecting material. They also know that this action will greatly shorten the time they design. But they did not do enough to classify the material. It's not good for you to find the right thing quickly, And they have bad memories of the material. Basically belong to look good saved down, that's all.
And I am in the process of collection, every thing I have saved it has been saved by mereason. is the structure novel or the color collocation very good or the movement elegant noble, this is only the first time memory. Before I put this thingSaveThis is the second time that you have in the corresponding category in your computer. Every once in a while, I'll go through the footage again. This is the third memory.
My classification is very detailed. I have a lot of material. Every once in a while I'm going to delete something I really like. Because I already have the ability to do something like that. Even extrapolate and more flexibility. I remember clearly where I could find something. Those very obscure TXT documents allow me to find the current text in just a dozen seconds. A few of the most distinctive files. I'm good at using ACDSee to rename these files. All of my pictures are in one set. All of them, absolutely no picture is a lone piece. Because I will take time to imitate those effects to do things. A PSD or AI or Fla folder is almost always added to each directory.
Slowly, I began not to look at the material. Occasionally just to pick a few buildings or a few scenery inside. The interval is getting longer. I began to gradually discard these materials ...
Discard the material you collected!
Through the analysis and comparison over and over again. I know more and more about these materials in my head. I can even tell which Web site is made by which company. I can even tell you which station and which picture you can use directly in the location of my things. And every thought I had was quick to think of his handling techniques. It's all due to my understanding of the material and Analysis. To this step. Do you think you need more material?
After having to clean up his hard drive and copy the footage, I left the company that had been collecting footage for so long after I had to upgrade from 40G to 80G. My own machine has only a poor part, But the company is full of a machine and then changed one. These are my efforts. But I will not go back to copy. Including the source files of my previous works, because I believe that I can definitely go beyond everything before ....
comparing and analyzing, and trying to imitate, will let your level grow day by day.
I have a fixed time every day to hover over those cool stations list. Every cool station I'm interested in, I will go to the serious analysis of it. Until I understand the design of this site. Until I understand why it is doing this, and the benefits of doing so. It gives me a deeper understanding of regional culture, Let me have a further grasp of the style of each country. I'm going to compare it with two very similar cool stands. To study their bright spot, and then think of the bright spot with what kind of technique can be handled. If it was me, What I would do to highlight this highlight. So my colleagues often see me watch a station for more than half a day. I have a lot of paper in my trash. have been painted over and over again. I was able to evolve a feature of one station into another complete site. When it's all right, I'll be in my mind to evolve the effects that interest me. In learning css, I often go down those cool station of the style down analysis. Change the position, if it's me, Whether I can think of it or even a better way, I think every day. Learning. Until I found myself alone in studying ...
Just start to do the site, directly to search those good stations, then find a suitable one, save the page as. And then to modify it. Later, as the material accumulated, I was deeply disgusted with my practice. I began to use PS to do the whole map, although the top does not allow me to do so, said waste of time, but I also insisted that Finally I did the same speed as the other saved pages, when I was doing the drawing I was thinking about how to deal with the layout that would make me simpler and the effect would be the same. How can I make this graph more reusable? How do I make the time of the production shrink to a shorter one when the same background is different color? At that time, only in the pursuit of profit. But I am in the pursuit of profit at the same time grasp the best and fastest learning means, at least, I think so.
I'm still at the bottom of the design. My article was reproduced in the time never my name. And no one added the original address ... I try to make weilaixu this phrase even if it does not appear, do not let others see flat .... I used to add the words of thanks in the least conspicuous place after every station was finished. Thank you for the station I copied. This is not allowed by the company, so I add it to the place they can't see. But when I saw what I changed was copied, the words of thanks inside me still ... Am I shameless, or is it generally shameless?
I write the article very painful. I often want to spit blood. It is clear that you understand something. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to give up.
