Become a graphic designer after reading a post!
Don't be surprised. There was an invitation to read the detailed post because if you can read this post successfully, you will no longer have to take any course to learn graphics designing. In this post, I will tell you the A to Z process of learning graphic design.
Well, let's get started! I know at the beginning what is graphic design? The word graphic means drawing or line. The term graphic refers to images whose successful completion depends on the drawing. After understanding the word graphic differently, you have to understand the meaning of the word design. The word design means to plan or design. Why become a graphic designer now?
Graphic design is in high demand in the freelancing sector today. Because suppose I make an app, but I have to make a logo from a graphics designer. If you become a graphics designer, you can work online or offline.
Let's learn how to graphic design. There are many sectors of graphics design. Before you become a graphic designer, you must decide what you want to work with. Maybe you work with video editing, or logo banner posters, etc., or you do audio editing.
Now let's see what graphic designers do?
Logo design
Banner design
Poster design
Cover design
Photo editing
Video editing
Audio editing etc.
I will not discuss everything today,
But I will discuss some things in common today. Assuming the names of the things I mentioned above, you want to learn or design these. So what to do first? First, you need to know what these things are made or designed with. We all know Adobe is the best company in the world for graphics. They have software for everything. Such as Illustrator for logos/banners / etc, Photoshop for photo editing, and Premium Pro After Effects for video editing. What do you have to do now?
Simply put, you need to know the workings of Adobe software. That means you need to know the work of the software that you want to work with. Now I will give you the download link of Adobe software and also tell you where to learn from.
If you want to be a successful graphics designer, first learn Photoshop. Follow this link.
Then learn Illustrator.
Start watching this playlist again to learn Adobe Illustrator.

Then if you want to learn video editing then you can start learning Premiere Pro. Can be free course This link.
If you want to work with effects or motion, you can learn After Effects. You can watch this course on After Effects: Click Here
Moreover, Adobe has much more software that is used for different purposes. You can learn them if you want. I named them below.
• Photoshop
• Lightroom
• Lightroom Classic
• Illustrator
• Premiere Pro
• Premiere Rush
• Adobe XD
• After Effects
• Aero
• Adobe Fresco
• Photoshop Express
• Dimension
• Dreamweaver
• Photoshop Express
But the most popular are Photoshop / Illustrator / Premier Pro / After Effects / Lightroom. And Photoshop Express for mobile. All software is very useful. If you can learn one or two professionally, you will get a lot of work on them. Just type the name of the software you want to learn about the software + free tutorial and do a Google search. Then you'll get it all. For example, ADOBE XD FREE TUTORIAL and ADOBE InDesign FREE DOWNLOAD for download.
Note: The software I have downloaded is pre-active. You just have to turn off the net and install it. And most of Adobe's software is premium, if you use it for free at the beginning, you will try to buy and use it when you earn money. Now let's come to some common questions What kind of PC do you need to be a graphics designer?
Graphics designers inevitably need a high-configuration PC
But you need to decide what you want to do with it. If you want to learn video editing, you will definitely need a good graphics card, and they have set the requirements of every software of Adobe on their site.
Take a look at this link. And use the version you need and go with the PC.
How long does it take to become a graphic designer?
The answer to this question will depend entirely on you. It will take as long as you learn. But there is no end to the flames. I don't have a PC, can I be a graphics designer with mobile? No, you can't, but you can use Canva / pix lab/photoshop express on your mobile to do some work.
