Introduction
If you want to be good at graphic design, you’re going to need to learn a lot of things. For example, you’ll need to know about art and design; typography; color theory; and 3D building in Minecraft. I’ll show you how to do this in this article!
Learn the basics of art and design
Graphic design is a field that combines art and technology. In order to be a graphic designer, you need to understand the basics of art and design before you can make good graphic designs.
You need to know how to draw and paint, because most designs start with some kind of sketch or drawing on paper or in a digital program like Photoshop. You also need to know how computer software works so that you’re able to use it effectively when designing for websites, apps or print materials like brochures or flyers.
Study typography
Typography is the art of arranging type to make written language readable, attractive and understandable.
It’s important to understand what typography is and how it can be used in your designs. Typography includes:
Typefaces–the different styles of letters (e.g., Helvetica Bold)
Type size–the size of each letter
Leading–the space between lines of text (line spacing)
Learn about color theory
