Question

User interface

Hello!
The question is - is it possible to become someone in UI from scratch in order to earn a living in 3 months?
I have the skills of a website content manager, which I worked for a year after
uni. do nothing else.

Answer 1

UI and UX - areas are not as easy as programming and layout, as this is a separate world ....
to become a good pro and specialist, there is little to learn, you need to be able to feel, analyze analytically and scroll through a bunch of information, and just have a sense of taste, be able to put yourself in the place of the user, moreover, anyone (be it a farmer, a professor, a military man, a businessman, who will use the resulting software product).
in any modern high-tech field, you will have to study a lot, and not only study, but in order to have an effect, you need to invest a lot more money (good courses and trainings cost decently).
you can be self-taught, but for a long time and everything, of course, depends on your desire, and even just luck, chance and moment ...

Answer 2

Definitely possible. If you think wider. Sell ​​not UI, but a complex product, automating and templating what can be templatized.

Answer 3

No, you can’t, and why Ul is not needed separately. The life of a designer is not sugar. Every day you will have to fulfill a 5 * 2 plan and at the same time you will receive (well, in Moscow time, compare s / n 42k. "You yourself understand what crumbs are")
It will take a month to study Photoshop. (beginner level)
And the most annoying thing is that this is simply not given to someone.
In addition, many forget about the experience. Experience plays the biggest role, well after taste and balance in harmony.
That is why 98% of all templates are disgusting, or copies.
In general, apart from Photoshop, you need to know the illustrator, and it is even more difficult + the basic skills of the artist.
As a result, it will take more than a year to somehow get up.
And it would seem that drawing templates in Photoshop is so simple (separately about ul - here you already have to think with your head)
You can really earn money knowing php / js.
If you get it right. You will already have a company from 50k months. and you can not work)
Well, occasionally something to edit / do.
But most of all, this is the salary of photographers with experience in retouching. There, from 1500r / h (I earned 170k per month, now I’m busy with other
things =) So look wider and in general you need to look for a job according to your hobby and what pleases you.
