I want to talk to you about how to improve myself as a visual designer.

For designers, aesthetics has a great influence on the quality of design works. Maybe some people will think that everyone's aesthetic view is different, and everyone has his own favorite things, which is true, but people with strong aesthetic ability often attract users' attention because his works are not only beautiful in color and reasonable in collocation, but also mainly because he will design according to the psychology of different users. To sum up, in a word, aesthetic ability is really very important, and to improve self-aesthetics, we need to do the following:

First, take more photos

I find that photography can really improve designers' self-aesthetic ability, which can develop our eyes and force us to see. Usually, a good photo contains many design elements, such as light, color and space, including the creation of visual balance, the use of space and the thinking of color.

Second, being good at learning and improving in imitation

Imitation behavior is an essential feature of advanced life. I remember an American psychologist once said: As one of human behavior patterns, imitation is the result of learning. Using imitation in the learning process, from the point of view of the behavior itself, should be regarded as a kind of plagiarism and the antonym of creation. It can't show how good its skills or abilities are. However, it should be noted that many successful inventions or creations start with imitation, and imitation should be regarded as a good learning method.

Third, diversified preview design works

To become a professional designer, you need to preview the design works of different industries. Just looking at the interface design will put you in a unique design environment. At the same time, you should also look at other media, such as posters, magazines, books, etc. Usually, the best examples of typesetting and grid are found in the design of magazines and newspapers. See more cross-border design, such as: graphic design font layout application, interior design color application, photography composition operation, which will help you enhance aesthetic diversification and help you design more excellent works.

Fourth, keep an impurity-free heart

Aesthetics often requires us to use a sincere and confident heart. As a designer, you need to discover and experience with your own heart. Only in this way can you improve your aesthetic ability. In daily life, we must be good at observing with our eyes and hearts, so that our own aesthetic ability can be gradually improved in the dribs and drabs of life. Keep your heart pure, let yourself have a beautiful mind, pay attention to the feeling of nature, pursue elegant and substantial beauty, constantly improve your own understanding of aesthetics, and gradually improve your own aesthetics.

5. Establish your design library

Everyone should be familiar with it. When you were young, you learned to write. Some words you don't know need the help of Xinhua Dictionary. When you can't write, you always have excellent compositions to stand for election. As a designer, you also need to establish your own design library. When you are confused and can't find inspiration, you can go to this library to find answers.

In fact, generally speaking, it is not too difficult for designers to improve their self-aesthetics. Design comes from inspiration, and inspiration comes from dribs and drabs in life, and dribs and drabs in life achieve aesthetic ability. I believe that as long as you put your heart into it, you will pay attention to it consciously, and your aesthetic ability will reach a different level one day.
