How to be a good designer?

 

1. Designers' meaning: Designers are those who are engaged in design work. They are those who, through education and experience, have the knowledge and understanding of design, as well as the skills and skills of design, can successfully complete the task of designing and get the corresponding remuneration.

 

2, the nature of design science requirements: design is neither pure art, nor pure natural science or social science, but a highly cross-disciplinary comprehensive discipline. We can compare the knowledge and skills of art and design to one hand of the designer, and the knowledge and skills of natural science and technology and society to the other hand of the designer. The development of The Times requires designers to "grasp both hands, both hands should be hard."

 

3. Requirements for knowledge and skills of art and design: Designers should first master knowledge and skills of art and design, which is the primary requirement for all designers. Including modeling basic skills, professional design skills and design related theoretical knowledge.

 

4. Requirements for knowledge and skills of natural and social sciences: besides art and design knowledge and skills, knowledge and skills of natural and social sciences are the "other hand" of designers. Designers can not "grasp, a master", but also have to grasp some closely related to the design of science and technology and sociology knowledge and skills. For example, the natural sciences are physics, materials science, ergonomics, human action science, ecology and bionics, and the social sciences are economics, marketing, consumer psychology, communication science, management science, economic law, thinking science and creation science, and so on.

 

5. Good work ethic

 

Design and creation is a conscious and purposeful social behavior, not the "self-expression" of designers. As the main body of design creation, designers should make clear their social responsibilities and consciously use design to serve the society and benefit mankind.

 

As the main body of design and creation, designer's design must be used to improve people's living conditions and environment, and to create better living conditions and environment services for people. In a simple sentence: "Design for the benefit of mankind", is the requirement of the society to the designer, is also the designer's lofty social responsibility.

 

We say that designers should "design for the benefit of mankind", and the "benefit" here refers to comprehensive and long-term benefits, rather than one-sided and temporary ones, which only benefit from one aspect and harm the other, only benefit from today and harm the future interests.

 

Designers should also resist the bad culture and bad design in the design industry. Designers can not blindly pursue economic benefits and lose the social morality, design is full of decadence, degenerate. Things that are unhealthy and uncivilized become a public hazard to society and should be resisted.
