On the difference between men and women in the design profession

Today to talk about the gender issues in the design circle, recently a woman to do the design of a female friend to change careers, which caused a small group of people's great reflection, because the progressive women's design ability is not bad, but also far from the so-called "retirement" age. It is a pity to look at this thing in the hero's sentiment.

Through this phenomenon I look back over the years have experienced the company, know the peer friends, it is true that the female designers are very rare, which is very few of the best, which aroused my interest, this phenomenon is accidental or inevitable? Is it a Chinese feature or a global crisis? I think a mature and healthy design circle, if the lack of good female designers is very wrong, this from the ethnic balance, sustainable development is also a hidden danger. Therefore, I gossip a few sentences analysis, welcome everybody to enthusiastically discuss.

Why do designers have more than women in the best male designer?

First of all, it is undeniable that we are still in a patriarchal society, both domestically and abroad, and that men bear the responsibility for the vast majority of the Earth's maintenance of peace, economic development, social order and the resolution of thorny problems, not that men are more than cattle B, but that the problem of ethnic structure. Such a structure has led to the male in the social status, career level and opportunity, and so on many aspects of the right to speak, the number of dominant, the choice of the right to make the number of male designers must be more than female designers, this point we and foreign no difference.

Secondly, in a large number of people to select the elite is more simple, this is not only the choice of a wide range, the number will inevitably lead to high quality requirements and fierce competition, but also more easily stimulate the birth of outstanding male designers (unfortunately our team did not adhere to this theorem). and women as more sensitive and weak individuals, rarely choose to compete with men, which makes the psychological always "as long as the standard can", rather than "must go beyond a certain level", so the acquired lower self demand also killed a part of the talented female designers stand out.

Finally, the male in the hormone ingredient determines its endurance, the explosive power, the responsibility characteristic, has the scientific research to prove that in the art creation process, the male uses in the inspiration creation part, and the creation process the brain secretion material and the sexual climax composition roughly consistent, therefore one has the talent, And in the day after tomorrow to exercise the male designers in the face of design more positive and active, this is an instinctive phenomenon. On the contrary, the response of women at this level is not particularly pronounced.

Can women do well in design? What is a breach?

So can women not be able to do the design? The answer is, of course, negative. The history of modern design has proved that the excellent female designers springing up at home and abroad are still very considerable, but still lag behind the male designers in proportion, which is related to the nature of the "design" products.

Design-oriented industry is a cross between natural science and social science, but because the design direction is different, so the requirements of designers are different, this is not only the designer's education, the designer's personality, but also related to gender. For example: In the field of industrial design, such as automobiles, yachts, military and so on, can hardly see the figure of female designers, and in the furniture product design field, we are able to find a large number of outstanding female designers frequently won. This is the direct result of gender differences, women's first concept of the family is more delicate, breeding and nurturing is their instinct, because they have a deeper understanding of the "family", so in the design more can find the details of male designers do not notice.

Women in general show obedience, gentleness, carefulness, attention to detail, emphasis on visual beauty, cleanliness, maternal characteristics (modern society also has some women with strong male thinking logic and physical characteristics, no discussion), therefore, female designers are easier to achieve in the following design areas: Pay attention to social ethics and public Welfare undertakings (public welfare activities , exhibition design, etc.), concerned about the family and health of the cause (home design, decorative design, etc.), pay attention to the appearance and daily life of the cause (clothing design, entertainment product design, etc.), focus on children and education career (toy design, infant product design, etc.).

So, when we evaluate whether we have a good female designer, should start from different areas, to be objective and impartial, female compatriots are ready to enter the design industry, you should choose the right way, this is the same as you choose Men, not only men are afraid into the wrong line.

What motivates women to switch careers from the design circle?

Health-women are water, water is the meaning of the need to protect and cherish, every day to face the computer waving a mouse, three meals three lunch, night to unkempt, even if the female compatriots in the emotional acceptance, in the image is absolutely not to be.　Not to mention the face of the computer, the face of ruthless bosses, in the face of customers pay a lot of brain power, radiation, lack of exercise, eating irregular, physiological period of emotion. All these factors will be very fast to destroy the youth, if it is a gang of rough men, may be surrounded by a drink, wow, this gas even passed, but the female friends can not join together to lift the trouser legs chew chicken leg drink beer? So the double stress of physiology and psychology makes it really hard for our female designer friends to keep going.

Income-"Men are making money, women are spending money", although the words are a bit not authentic, but women are readily accepted, women to makeup, to buy clothes to dress up, to skin care, to eat nutrition, to entertain, to Starbucks ... These need to support the income, in the absence of finding the other half of the burden, even if found, men are not all Li Ka-shing's son, or need to rely on their own split. How does the poor income of our designers support it? So, in female designers friends see their girlfriends normal commute, double sue Rich, write a software has bonuses, sell products have commission, they can no longer sit down-"even if I don't give my money, at least let me have a good rest!" ", so a lot of career change events happen constantly.

Marriage-love marriage and birth of children is the Chinese women enter the adult stage of the three required jobs, our society is still unable to accept the same as the "Sex and City" in the same free and easy, women need to be cared for and worship the goal, unfortunately in most design positions, whether the leadership or colleagues are difficult to find this feeling, This is also the embarrassment of the design circle, so after choosing a marriage, most women choose not to return to design jobs, and a few of the less humane company is the female staff (especially designers) after marriage or pregnancy directly let her "career change." In the face of marital happiness, most female designers have the idea of "leaving early," can be said, the current domestic design industry is one of the most difficult to make women feel happy industry.

Advice to the design circle's female peers:

1. The design circle is a place of great diversion, your talent can be shown here, but also need you to pay the mask and walk the dog time;

2. Design circles also have unspoken rules, too strong feminism may backfire, but fortunately we are not entertainment circle, we are at least dressed;

3. Your insistence may be successful, perhaps not, so in the effort to design the same time, and strive to find a love you can rely on the man to prepare for a rainy;

4. You have good ideas should be actively played out, many design circle of men are also pig, do not be afraid to compete with them;

5. If you love design, you do not have to do the job of the designer, any field may need your delicate wisdom and creativity, according to your life situation as appropriate choice.
