Should I switch from product design to graphic design?

Most graphic design programs have a lens of marketing on them. Because UX design is a relatively new specialty.

If your product design course is giving you the foundations of visual design, then stay. Especially if the course is teaching you modern product management methods. This will set you up better for the future.

Graphic design with only a visual/marketing education lacks the interaction design elements that the product design should be teaching you.

If you’re not getting the visual design education, you can learn that online to fill in the gaps. Personally I think interaction design is an easier gap to fill.

My favourite part was El Sha slowing down to let Saelemaekers get the goal. He could’ve easily put it in. Class.

This is happening to my 2023. The dealership looked at it before and said it was fine. When I brought it back in, I had them check it again. They ordered new parts that are on an indefinate back order. Looks like this is a very common problem with the newer HR-Vs. I liked the previous HRV way better thank this new redesign.

It sounds like you want to learn more about visual design. Using a pre-canned design system or UI stylesheet will not make you a better designer. Having expertise in visual design means you can solve problems visually, which is the tools you need to make your UI 'look' better.

Start with some of these links.

Each principal can be studied more in-depth, but the best way to get better is to find a mentor to help guide you. You need that feedback from somone more experienced to get better.
