Beginners guide to Graphic Design | 45 Episode FREE Series

Scope of the series

This 45-episode series starts with the basics of graphic design and works outward to the practical side of a career. Topics include what the discipline is, the skills a designer needs, core design theory, the education and equipment that help, and building a portfolio.

Why it helps newcomers

Beginners often try to learn tools before the principles, and this series reverses that order by putting theory and career groundwork up front. The description says it is meant for anyone at any level, so it can also work as a refresher.

What to get from it

• A sense of whether design work suits you before investing time in software.
• A checklist of equipment and education options.
• Early portfolio and interview guidance to keep in mind as you learn.
