Read on to find out more about essential in-demand marketing skills for any design CV.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_UI_Design\"><\/span><strong>1. UI Design<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also known as User Interface Design, UI design is about making visuals well laid-out. You\u2019re likely to be looking at a product of UI design now \u2013 that button you clicked on, the sliding carousel on the homepage of the last website you visited, and simply any item on the screen you\u2019ve interacted with. Other examples of elements UI design is needed are an app\u2019s color palette, a website\u2019s custom animation, or color-coding on project management platforms.<br><br>A <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/hiredigital.com\/blog\/ui-designer-job-description\">job description for a user interface designer<\/a> is exciting \u2013 your work will be transformational, and you will be expected to translate high-level requirements into beautiful, intuitive, and functional user interfaces through design.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technical skills you will need include the following:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Visual design skills<\/li><li>Hands-on experience creating wireframes, storyboards, user flows, process flows, and site maps<\/li><li>Visual design and wireframing tools<\/li><li>Understanding of basic front-end languages (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) for rapid prototyping<\/li><li>Experience with the Agile\/Scrum development process<\/li><li>\u00a0Knowledge of the latest UI techniques, trends, and technologies<br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_UX_Design\"><\/span><strong>2. UX Design<\/strong>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UX design is everywhere \u2013 from the layout of a supermarket, the ergonomics of a vehicle to more designer-specific areas such as a hotel\u2019s online booking experience, a software\u2019s user onboarding experience, and even a password reset prompt. Short for User Experience Design, UX Design refers to the process of creating a system that offers users a great experience. For example, a UX designer is in charge of considering every little detail and element that shapes the user\u2019s experience, and how easy it is for a user to complete tasks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to global online education provider <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coursera.org\/articles\/essential-skills-for-ux-designers\">Coursera<\/a>, some technical areas you will need to have knowledge in including the following:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u00a0Prototyping, wireframing, user flows, mockups<\/li><li>Visual design and design software<\/li><li>User research and usability testing<\/li><li>Agile<\/li><li>Information architecture\u00a0<\/li><li>Application development<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Web_Design\"><\/span><strong>3. Web Design<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, many businesses recognize the value of having an online presence, and most of them will have company websites, or are looking into setting up one. Website design skills are therefore increasingly in demand. Depending on your client or creative agency you join, the expectations of your skill level can differ. For example, some graphic design roles involve a significant amount of website design responsibilities, while others only require you to tweak a few lines of code here and there.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some web design skills that can make your resume stand out include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)<\/li><li>Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)<\/li><li>Responsive Design<\/li><li>Front-end Development\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Basic_Coding_Skills\"><\/span><strong>4. Basic Coding Skills<\/strong>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like most projects, designing a software, application or website requires close collaboration and mutual understanding among teammates. While designers don\u2019t have to possess professional-level coding skills, it is good practice for them to understand the basics of such technologies. Having knowledge of coding helps web designers to better visualize the websites and applications they work on, and how their work will affect their teammates. For example, when a designer knows how coding work, mistakes or delays can be avoided \u2013 the designer would know which design solutions cannot be encoded with the use of HTML\/CSS, saving the web developer precious time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a designer, you may find foundational knowledge in some of the following coding languages useful.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>HTML<\/li><li>CSS<\/li><li>JavaScript<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As well as basic coding skills, learning about Google Analytics (soon to become <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/measuremindsgroup.com\/set-up-and-understand-google-analytics-4\">Google Analytics 4<\/a>,) and Google\u2019s Search Console will help you understand the impact of your coding on a website\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Interactive_Media\"><\/span><strong>5. Interactive Media\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This form of media has been increasingly popular in recent years. Recognized as being more engaging, interactive media involves actively engaging viewers and users through mediums such as text, animations, moving images, and videos.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you will not be expected to be highly proficient in skills such as 3D animation, videography, Virtual Reality (VR), or Augmented Reality (AR), having basic skills will be beneficial for your CV and employment prospects. For example, graphic designers are often tasked to create simple interactive media for social media \u2013 this includes media such as gifs and basic video animations. Interactive media can also include website design, and can sometimes be undertaken by designers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Typography\"><\/span><strong>6. Typography<\/strong>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a designer, you don\u2019t only work with visuals \u2013 you will need to be adept at making copy easy to read. Here\u2019s where typography comes in. Simply put, it\u2019s the art of arranging text in your artwork so that it is readable and aesthetically pleasing. You\u2019ll see typography work in advertisements, banners, billboards, signs, and even letterheads. As many copywriters can attest to it, graphic design work isn\u2019t simply about copying and pasting text into a ready design template \u2013 a designer also needs to read and understand the copywriter\u2019s message to best make the copy shine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Make Your Design CV Stand Out<\/strong>\u00a0In this digital age, as well as a business landscape that is constantly evolving and becoming more demanding, being proactive in brushing up on new media skills, or looking out for skills that are in demand is essential. In your resume, you can also include a section where you highlight some of your achievements as a designer, and how soft skills come into play. Some soft skills you can highlight are project management, building client relationships, ideation, research, presentation, and branding. With all these in place, you will have a design CV filled with essential skills that will give you an edge in the recruitment process.<\/p>\n                            <\/div><br><div class=\"author-inner\">\n<p class=\"bio-name\">Eileen Chan<\/p>\n<div class=\"bio-desc\">\n    Eileen Chan is the Commercial Director at Hire Digital, a world-class network of pre-vetted digital marketers, developers, and designers on demand.
