Shanghai, the sleepless city, is a cradle of technological evolution for the printing and design industry. Decades ago, hand-painting was the mainstream of print design, with artists wielding their talents on paper, drawing breathtaking works with a pen and a brush. However, time has passed and technology has kept pace with the times, hand-drawing has taken a back seat in favour of computers.

Today's printing design industry in Shanghai, no matter media advertising, packaging design or event planning, can not be separated from the assistance of computers. Computers become the right-hand man of print designers, helping them create exquisite works with their high efficiency and precision.

In the printing design industry, people are demanding more and more design software. Adobe's family of software, such as Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, has become standard in print designers' work. The software uses unique illustration techniques and layered design to make it easy for designers to create and modify. Through the use of these software, designers can realize unlimited imagination and creativity, and their thoughts can be transformed into design drafts.

At the same time, the rapid development of computer technology has brought more freedom and creativity to print designers. Bright colors, sharpness of pictures, and precision of typesetting, which were unimaginable in the old hand-painted era, are now the norm. Designers can choose fonts, picture effects and color combinations as they wish to present their ideas on paper.

However, with the progress of computer technology, new challenges and problems have emerged. First of all, technological progress has accelerated the pace of market competition. In order to gain a foothold in this industry, print designers must constantly learn and update their skills. Second, the use of computer software requires a certain degree of technical operation and computer basics, which also means more time and energy is devoted to technical learning rather than creation and design.

However, despite these difficulties, Shanghai's print designers are still actively coping with them and making progress. The evolution of technology brings more possibilities and opportunities. They rely on computer technology to innovate and break through themselves. Not only that, they also focus on cooperation and exchange with other fields, draw on the experience of other industries, merge their respective advantages each other, achieve better printing design effect.

Hand-painted and computer have their own advantages, there is no right or wrong judgment, only the difference of the times and the change of demand. Shanghai's print designers are brave enough to move forward and incorporate technological evolution into their designs, showing a style that is rooted in tradition and embraces modernity.

In Shanghai, a big city with advanced science and technology, hand-painted is no longer the dominant design method, but integrated into computer design. Relying on their solid technical skills and creative thinking, the designers in Shanghai draw pictures of fresh people with computers, which let us feel the power and aesthetic feeling of design on the screen.
