be of high quality

1, strong and keen feeling, ability of invention and creation, ability of aesthetic appraisal of works, ability of expressing design ideas, and comprehensive professional intelligence.

2. Graphic designers must be confident and firmly believe in their personal beliefs, experience, vision and taste. No blind obedience, no narcissism, no arrogance, no drifting. Face it with a rigorous academic attitude, not for individuality or design. As a graphic designer, you must have unique quality and superb design skills, that is, no matter how complicated the design topic is, you must sum up your experience carefully, think hard, scrutinize repeatedly, and absorb and digest the same type of excellent design essence to achieve new creation.

3. As a profession, graphic designer's professional ethics is closely related to the perfection of his personality, which often determines the design level of a graphic designer. The higher the level, the better his understanding ability, balance ability, discrimination ability, coordination ability and processing ability, which will help him overcome the obstacles in design life. So graphic designers must pay attention to personal cultivation. Literati often say: "Fix its shape first, then practice its products."

4. The improvement of design must be carried out through continuous learning and practice. The extensive participation and concentration of graphic designers are contradictory and unified. The former is the source of inspiration and expression, and the latter is the attitude of work. Good design is not only the creation of graphics, it is the result of a lot of intellectual work, covering different fields and playing different roles, which can keep us open-minded and bring more information to our design. The most important thing in design is ideas, and good ideas need to be cultivated and incubated. Design also needs a broad vision, so that information has a broad source. An important feature of learning graphic design is analogy, and art is essentially the same. The continuous flow of culture and wisdom is the magic weapon to become an evergreen tree in the design field.

5. Individualized design may come from the long-standing cultural tradition of the nation and the design thought with rich national cultural essence. Nationality, originality and individuality are equally valuable, and regional characteristics are also one of the knowledge backgrounds of graphic designers. Future graphic designers are no longer narrow nationalists, but the symbol of each nation is more reflected in the national spirit, and the nation and tradition will also become schema or design elements. As a graphic designer, we must take national traditions and culture seriously.
