Private qualifications JAGAT Certified DTP Expert
DTP is the use of a computer to create printed materials. It is a certification to become an expert in creating legible and enjoyable printed materials. This certification also helps to foster talented designers.
Qualifications for training designers.
DTP stands for Desktop Publishing, the process of creating books, newspapers, posters, and other printed materials using a personal computer.
There are not many active designers who are certified as DTP experts. However, this certification is useful for training excellent designers.
There are two main types of designers involved in DTP.
One is the "artist" type designer, who creates designs that cannot be imitated by others based on his or her unique sensibilities. The other type is the "craftsman" type, who adheres to the basics of design and responds to the requests of clients.
What is required is a craftsman-type design.
Artist-type designers are always one step ahead of the times and lead the world. They are similar to Van Gogh or Picasso in terms of painters.
However, such designers are the exception to the rule, and most designers are actually craftsmen. In their daily work, they are required to have the ability to understand and give shape to the design desired by the customer.
In order to develop this ability, it would be meaningful to challenge the DTP expert certification. It is often said that "design is communication. In the case of product posters, a great design is one that makes the viewer want to buy the product. Let's aim for this qualification and try to create impactful designs in the future.
