Test yourself as a qualified designer: What skills does a qualified designer need in the company? From understanding customer information, initially determining the owner's design and decoration orientation, to initially talking about customers. 1. Measure the house on the spot, communicate on the spot, and determine the owner's decoration needs, including budget and design. 2. Layout and preliminary design ideas. 3. Preliminary budget. 4. Discuss with the owner again, and discuss the cost of decoration and the positioning of design style with customers in detail on the basis of floor plan and budget. 5. finalize the design and make renderings. 6. Invite customers to show the design and complete the design and budget again. 7. After that, if the owner signs a bill with the company, it will enter the construction stage. During the construction process, the designer will provide the construction drawing, monitor and cooperate with the construction at any time.
The seven points listed above have also become the decomposition of a goal of learning interior design, and the corresponding learning content of the seven points is: 1. Skilled room measurement, you need to learn sketch (hand-painted house layout on site) and master room measurement tools, such as tape measure. Drawing the floor plan and surveying need to be completed in the shortest time, and then we need to communicate with the owner on site, which requires solid construction technical knowledge (such as house decoration, water circuit construction, bricklayer, carpenter, painter, etc.). ) and materials (including the understanding of the main materials, such as tiles, wood floors, auxiliary materials such as joinery boards, decorative boards, paints, etc. ), and all these require you to study hard. It is possible to finish it. 2. Plan, (CAD learning) needs to learn the division of indoor space layout, design style positioning, and initially predict the design positioning under the budget. After all, all designs must be carried out within the appropriate budget price. 3. The completion of the budget must be based on the application and price of technology and materials. Learn EXCEL software. 4. Learn to talk about bills, which is the ultimate requirement for designers' comprehensive ability. All the contents must be combined. 5. When it comes to finalization and rendering, you need to be proficient in 3D and VR renderers. 6. Ask the customer to look at the renderings and budget. This step also determines whether the owner can sign the bill. It is also an assessment of the designer's ability to talk about orders. 7. Construction drawing (completed by CAD) and cooperation during construction. It is more necessary to master the construction technology and field application of materials.
Many of the above contents may be boring for you, because this is my professional perspective as a designer to list your learning direction and goals. The starting point of learning interior design must determine a direction and short-term goal that you want to work hard, otherwise you will learn blindly if you can't see the goal at the beginning of learning. Wasted a lot of precious time and money. For a 27-year-old, you may not have as many learning opportunities as you did in your teens. Therefore, it is precious. As a mature age, things will certainly not be done blindly. Please also take a closer look at the 7 points I wrote above.
As a designer, from 2003 to now, during my working time in the company, I personally experienced countless interns who wanted to learn from the company, but all of them were used by the company or ran business or poured tea in the company because one-seventh of them could not be completed. Please remember that the company is for profit, and it is by no means a place where many people think that people who can do nothing have plenty of opportunities. The boss also seized the students' desire to learn. Don't treat the company as a second school, or you will find that you are getting farther and farther away from your original ideas. Internship must be based on mastering five softwares (CAD.3D.VR.EXCEL.PS), otherwise, never practice blindly. Employees without bright spots have no chance in the company.
However, we can't blindly choose the training path. Without the training of the above seven learning contents, we will certainly spend a lot of money and time for no reason. In the end, I learned nothing. And now the vacancy of designers is still expanding. Just like the city of Xi 'an, most companies are worried that they can't find excellent designers, and it is even difficult to find qualified designers (refer to the above seven points). For example, only 2-3 of more than 50 designers in a medium-sized company can make renderings and designs. More than 40 other designers are nominal designers, but they are not salesmen, so it is difficult to locate them. This situation has become more and more serious in the past two years. It's too scarce to have powerful and excellent designers who can really complete the 7-point requirement independently.
The reason is that there are too few people who can learn real talents.
So for you. After learning the five necessary software for designers in a down-to-earth way, you can learn it in the order I mentioned above. At the same time, construction technology and materials are also necessary, which is the basis of being a designer. Otherwise, the software becomes a gun without ammunition. The detailed learning methods of interior design, as well as the methods and contents of self-study are all in my space. You can read it carefully, hoping to add a smooth road to your study.
Finally, give more efforts to friends who study indoor and outdoor design. Interior design is your best choice. Persistence ... persistence and persistence will certainly broaden our horizons and usher in a bright future.
