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(gè)建議原本是為了一個(gè)朋友，我決定把它寫下來(lái)，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(kāi)始設(shè)計(jì)時(shí)，如果有一件事我可以回去告訴自己 ，那就是訓(xùn)練我的設(shè)計(jì)之眼，去訓(xùn)練判斷和識(shí)別良好設(shè)計(jì)的能力。
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(gè)好的設(shè)計(jì)之眼常常超出設(shè)計(jì)師的能力，這不一定是一件壞事。事實(shí)上，這意味著隨著時(shí)間的推移你的眼睛可以幫助你辨別和改進(jìn)你的設(shè)計(jì)。通過(guò)提升你的品味和能力去識(shí)別設(shè)計(jì)中的長(zhǎng)處和短處，你最終將會(huì)為你的工作設(shè)置一個(gè)很高的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
So then the question is, how do you develop your eye?
那么，問(wèn)題是，你如何提升你的眼力？
**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(guò)提升你的品味和能力去識(shí)別設(shè)計(jì)中的長(zhǎng)處和短處，你最終將會(huì)為你的工作設(shè)置一個(gè)很高的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
A simple strategy
一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)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。
Browse design inspiration
瀏覽設(shè)計(jì)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(gè)文件夾并保存在這一周當(dāng)中激勵(lì)你的設(shè)計(jì)，在本周結(jié)束時(shí)，打開(kāi)文件夾為每一個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)問(wèn)自己一些問(wèn)題。
What originally intrigued you about this design? Are you still drawn to it the same way as before?
是什么讓你對(duì)這個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)感興趣的？你還是像以前一樣被吸引嗎？
What is the purpose of the design? How has this affected the design?
How does this design make you feel?
設(shè)計(jì)的目的是什么？為什么被這個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)所影響？
How does the type work with the design?
設(shè)計(jì)屬于什么類型？
What could you improve on in this design?
在這個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)中你能改進(jìn)什么？
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(duì)于界面設(shè)計(jì)，你可以看看網(wǎng)站Dribbble，Behance，和awwwards。我用這些網(wǎng)站觀察其他設(shè)計(jì)師是如何解決具體問(wèn)題的，這也是跟上設(shè)計(jì)所流行趨勢(shì)的一種方法。
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(jì)會(huì)把你放在一個(gè)狹隘的設(shè)計(jì)環(huán)境。你也應(yīng)該看看其他的媒介，如海報(bào)、雜志和書籍。拍版和網(wǎng)格系統(tǒng)的最好的例子通?？梢栽谝粋€(gè)你設(shè)計(jì)以外的媒介中找到。
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(jì)?？紤]到文化背景，以及它如何影響設(shè)計(jì)。這將使你成為一個(gè)更多樣化的設(shè)計(jì)師，為你提供另一個(gè)視角對(duì)設(shè)計(jì)做出關(guān)鍵性判斷。
Practice looking
注意實(shí)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，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，?觀察你身邊的事物而不是總盯著你的手機(jī)?（一些我犯做），像你經(jīng)過(guò)的建筑，標(biāo)志，他們會(huì)很自然的給你些指導(dǎo)。使用你周圍的世界作為一個(gè)工具來(lái)提高你的眼界，這里有一些事情要記住。
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，為什么。設(shè)計(jì)是關(guān)于第一印象的一切。
What sort of visual hierarchy do you see around you?
你看到的是什么樣的視覺(jué)層次結(jié)構(gòu)？
How do you interact with the designs around you?
你如何與你周圍的設(shè)計(jì)互動(dòng)？
What colors do you see and how do they work together?
你看到了什么顏色，他們?nèi)绾我黄鸸ぷ鳎?/h6>
One thing that I’ve found useful for developing my eye is photography. Photography forces you to look, to make active meaning of the world. A good photograph contains the same elements that make up a good design. In particular it requires thoughtful composition which includes creation of visual balance, use of space, and consideration for color.
我發(fā)現(xiàn)攝影這件事對(duì)提高我眼界很有用。攝影會(huì)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(gè)好的設(shè)計(jì)的相同的元素。特別是它需要考慮是由什么組成，其中包括創(chuàng)造視覺(jué)平衡，使用空間，并考慮顏色。
Create a feedback loop
創(chuàng)建一個(gè)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(gè)反饋循環(huán)，以加速你的成長(zhǎng)。通常，你可以要求其他設(shè)計(jì)師對(duì)你的工作進(jìn)行反饋。特別是能夠指出你的設(shè)計(jì)中的缺陷的經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的設(shè)計(jì)師，你通常會(huì)錯(cuò)過(guò)。一旦你的設(shè)計(jì)中的問(wèn)題被指出一次，他們會(huì)更容易確定在未來(lái)。
Create a feedback loop to accelerate your growth
** 創(chuàng)建一個(gè)反饋循環(huán)來(lái)加速你的成長(zhǎng) **
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(jì)，首先改善你的眼睛。記住，任何人都可以為設(shè)計(jì)開(kāi)發(fā)一個(gè)眼睛。有許多其他的方法來(lái)提升你的眼界；可以自由回復(fù)注釋或錄音，我讓我知道你怎么做的。
