正文

This advice was originally intended for a friend but I decided to write it down so that hopefully others can benefit from it too.

這個建議原本是為了一個朋友脐帝，我決定把它寫下來同云，希望別人也能從中受益。

Looking back to when I first started designing, if there was a single thing I could go back and tell myself, that would be to *train my design eye, *my ability to critique and identify good design.

當(dāng)我回顧第一次開始設(shè)計時堵腹，如果有一件事我可以回去告訴自己 炸站，那就是訓(xùn)練我的設(shè)計之眼，去訓(xùn)練判斷和識別良好設(shè)計的能力秸滴。

A good design eye oftentimes exceeds the ability of the designer. This is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, this means that your eye can help you discern improvements in your design over time. By developing your taste and ability to identify strengths and weaknesses in designs, you end up setting a high bar for your work.

一個好的設(shè)計之眼常常超出設(shè)計師的能力武契，這不一定是一件壞事募判。事實上荡含，這意味著隨著時間的推移你的眼睛可以幫助你辨別和改進你的設(shè)計。通過提升你的品味和能力去識別設(shè)計中的長處和短處届垫，你最終將會為你的工作設(shè)置一個很高的標準释液。

So then the question is, how do you develop your eye?

那么，問題是装处，你如何提升你的眼力误债？

**By developing your taste and ability to identify strengths and weaknesses in designs, you end up setting a high bar for your work. **

通過提升你的品味和能力去識別設(shè)計中的長處和短處，你最終將會為你的工作設(shè)置一個很高的標準妄迁。

A simple strategy

一個簡單的策略

Here are some things that you can do to train your eye.

這里你可以做一些事情以訓(xùn)練你的眼睛寝蹈。

Browse design inspiration

瀏覽設(shè)計靈感

Keep a folder and save designs that inspire you over the course of the week. At the end of the week, look through your folder and ask yourself some of these questions. You don’t have to answer each one of those questions for every design, but do keep them in the back of your mind.

建一個文件夾并保存在這一周當(dāng)中激勵你的設(shè)計，在本周結(jié)束時登淘，打開文件夾為每一個設(shè)計問自己一些問題箫老。

What originally intrigued you about this design? Are you still drawn to it the same way as before?

是什么讓你對這個設(shè)計感興趣的？你還是像以前一樣被吸引嗎黔州？

What is the purpose of the design? How has this affected the design?

How does this design make you feel?

設(shè)計的目的是什么耍鬓？為什么被這個設(shè)計所影響阔籽？

How does the type work with the design?

設(shè)計屬于什么類型？

What could you improve on in this design?

在這個設(shè)計中你能改進什么牲蜀？

For interface design you can look at sites like Dribbble, Behance, and Awwwards. I use these sites as a way to see how other designers have solved specific problems and to keep up to date with popular design patterns.

對于界面設(shè)計笆制，你可以看看網(wǎng)站Dribbble，Behance涣达，和awwwards在辆。我用這些網(wǎng)站觀察其他設(shè)計師是如何解決具體問題的，這也是跟上設(shè)計所流行趨勢的一種方法度苔。

Looking at only interface designs will put you in an insular design environment. You should also look at other mediums such as posters, magazines, and books. Often times, the best examples of typography and grid systems can be found in mediums outside of the one you normally design for.

只看界面設(shè)計會把你放在一個狹隘的設(shè)計環(huán)境开缎。你也應(yīng)該看看其他的媒介，如海報林螃、雜志和書籍奕删。拍版和網(wǎng)格系統(tǒng)的最好的例子通承樱可以在一個你設(shè)計以外的媒介中找到孕暇。

Also consider studying the designs of other cultures. Take into consideration cultural context and how it influences designs. This will make you a more diverse designer by providing you with another lens for making critical judgement on designs.

也考慮研究其他文化的設(shè)計〉裂鳎考慮到文化背景横漏，以及它如何影響設(shè)計谨设。這將使你成為一個更多樣化的設(shè)計師，為你提供另一個視角對設(shè)計做出關(guān)鍵性判斷缎浇。

Practice looking

注意實踐

While there are tons of directed exercises that you can do to train your eye, just spending a couple extra minutes a day observing and trying to understand the world around you goes a long way.

雖然你可以做大量的有指導(dǎo)性的練習(xí)去訓(xùn)練你的眼睛扎拣，但是每天花額外的幾分鐘觀察和試圖了解你經(jīng)常走的路的周圍環(huán)境。

Throughout the day, instead of staring at your phone?—?something that I’m guilty of doing?—?look at the design of things around you like the buildings you pass by, the signs that direct you, and nature. When using the world around you as a tool for developing your eye, here are a few things to keep in mind.

一天中素跺，?觀察你身邊的事物而不是總盯著你的手機?（一些我犯做）二蓝，像你經(jīng)過的建筑，標志指厌，他們會很自然的給你些指導(dǎo)刊愚。使用你周圍的世界作為一個工具來提高你的眼界，這里有一些事情要記住踩验。

Figure out what catches your eye and why. Design is all about first impressions.

找出是什么吸引了你的眼球鸥诽，為什么。設(shè)計是關(guān)于第一印象的一切箕憾。

What sort of visual hierarchy do you see around you?

你看到的是什么樣的視覺層次結(jié)構(gòu)牡借？

How do you interact with the designs around you?

你如何與你周圍的設(shè)計互動？

What colors do you see and how do they work together?

你看到了什么顏色袭异，他們?nèi)绾我黄鸸ぷ鳎?/h6>

我發(fā)現(xiàn)攝影這件事對提高我眼界很有用钠龙。攝影會聚焦你的視線，使世界有積極意義。一張好的照片包含了構(gòu)成一個好的設(shè)計的相同的元素俊鱼。特別是它需要考慮是由什么組成刻像，其中包括創(chuàng)造視覺平衡，使用空間并闲，并考慮顏色细睡。

Create a feedback loop

創(chuàng)建一個反饋循環(huán)

Finally, create a feedback loop to accelerate your growth. As often as you can, ask other designers for feedback on your work. Seasoned designers, in particular, will be able to point out flaws in your design that you would normally miss. Once issues in your design have been pointed out once, they will be much easier to identify in the future.

最后，創(chuàng)建一個反饋循環(huán)帝火，以加速你的成長溜徙。通常，你可以要求其他設(shè)計師對你的工作進行反饋犀填。特別是能夠指出你的設(shè)計中的缺陷的經(jīng)驗豐富的設(shè)計師蠢壹，你通常會錯過。一旦你的設(shè)計中的問題被指出一次九巡，他們會更容易確定在未來图贸。

Create a feedback loop to accelerate your growth

** 創(chuàng)建一個反饋循環(huán)來加速你的成長 **

Conclusion
If you want to improve your designs, first improve your eye. And remember, *anyone *can develop an eye for design. There are many other ways to develop your eye; feel free to add a note or tweet to me to let me know how you do it.

如果你想提高你的設(shè)計，首先改善你的眼睛冕广。記住疏日，任何人都可以為設(shè)計開發(fā)一個眼睛。有許多其他的方法來提升你的眼界撒汉；可以自由回復(fù)注釋或錄音沟优，我讓我知道你怎么做的。
