How to find a good graphic designer and a good programmer?
Good designers are not made are born.. Creativity is not something that can be taught.
Good programmers are always at the forefront and constantly evolving, having a bachelor’s degree, an engineering degree or a master’s degree will not make you the best programmer, in this field programming languages and technology are constantly changing.
Let’s be realistic and objective, these 2 people have something in common, both a good graphic designer and a good programmer are united by the simple fact that they don’t need to study a career to be the best in their area..
Where do you learn to be a good graphic designer?
Where do you learn to be a good programmer?
In the IT careers they teach a little bit of a lot, they teach them to keep learning, to have the basics of everything… but having the basics is not enough to compete in the market or to be the best, that is to say, they DO NOT TEACH ANYTHING.
Let’s take UNAM as an example, the highest house of studies in Mexico. Its bachelor’s degree in computer science and computer engineering talking about programming are obsolete, at the end of the career have learned programming languages that are dead or half dead zombie languages because the schools are still teaching it when their success of that language was 30 years ago. Those who finish these careers know a little of a lot but the truth is that they do not know anything specific and I say specific because they are not specialized in anything, this should be like a career in medicine the difference is that diseases and symptoms are not modified but here languages and technology are constantly changing and neither the UNAM nor other schools take this into account.
What defines a good graphic designer and a good programmer?
Many times I receive cv’s from graphic designers and I ask for their portfolio, some of them answer “I don’t have one, I just finished my career” a good graphic designer draws, paints, digitalizes, colors, retouches …. He has been designing since he was a child, it is impossible and impossible not to have a portfolio.
PROGRAMMERS. Ability to be self-taught.
A good programmer knows a flowchart before understanding its meaning in programming, never ceases to be at the forefront, is not locked in only one programming language, is always learning.
CONCLUSION
I am not saying that studying a degree or engineering does not make you a good graphic designer or a good programmer. And this is already well known Mark Zuckerberg founder of facebook, Steve Jobs father of Apple and the same Bill Gates founder of Microsoft none finished college.
A good graphic designer and a good programmer can be compared as a medical student, first they learn all the “common” and then they have to specialize in something, a designer in 3D, vectorization or both, a programmer must know a server and can specialize in web programming, apps or both for example …

En cuestión de carreras de computación te falto mencionar la carrera de Ciencias de la Computación, la cual tiene materias de programación, los lenguajes que manejan son viejos y actuales. Yo creo que en algo que si tienes mucha razón es que los buenos programadores siempre están a la vanguardia y constante evolución.
Saludos a todos los colaboradores de Desmanes
Hola Rodrigo, tienes razón me faltó mencionar ciencias de la computación, pero viendo las materias que llevan el lenguaje mas “actual” que llevan es PHP el punto es que la habilidad de un buen programador es el “autoaprendizaje” y viendo las materias un buen programador puede hacerlo de manera autónoma.
El equipo de desmanes te manda saludos cordiales
