No, there are not enough designers--that know what they are doing. There are armies of crap designers. I see bad design everywhere: signs, menus, logos, etc. Fly by night schools and easy access to digital imaging programs have caused this flood of piss-poor design. Everyone and their mom knows "a little bit of photoshop" and that just won't cut it. You have to MASTER Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign. Get these programs, take classes, get manuals, get design annuals (so you can study what the big designers do). Beg, borrow and steal to get this stuff. This knowledge and a strong work ethic will separate you from the mediocre crowd. "Beg, borrow or steal" is just a figure of speech. I should have also added that you need to master life drawing--a skill that is critical. Report It * You must be logged into Answers to add comments. Sign in or Register. Other Answers (2) |
