This guide will help you to get started with graphic design. 

The biggest mistake is jumping into Photoshop too fast. Learning Photoshop does not make you a designer, just like buying paintbrushes does not make you an artist. Start with the foundation.
First, learn how to draw.

• You don’t have to sit in a room with a bunch of other artists trying to draw a naked woman.
• You don’t even have to get that good at drawing. Just learn some basics so you can be comfortable sketching with a pen.
• You only have to do one thing to learn how to draw: get the bookYou Can Draw in 30 days and practice for half an hour every day for a month. I’ve looked at a lot of drawing books and this is one of the best.

Learn graphic design theory

• Start with the book Picture This. It’s a story book of Little Red Riding hood, but will teach you the foundations of graphic design at the same time.
• Learn about color, typography, and designing with a grid. If you can find a local class to teach the basics of graphic design, take it.
• Go through a few of these tutorials every day.

Learn some basics in user experience

• There are a lot of books about user experience. Start with these two quick reads that will get you in the right mindset:
• The Design of Everyday Things
• Don’t Make Me Think!

Learn how to write

• Here is a sure sign of a bad designer: their mockups are filled with placeholder text like Lorem Ipsum. A good designer is a good communicator. A good designer thinks through the entire experience, choosing every word carefully. Write for humans. Don’t write in the academic tone you used to make yourself sound smart in school papers.
• Read Made to Stick, one of my favorite books of all time. It will teach you how to suck in your readers.
• Voice and Tone is a website full of gems of good writing examples.
