How Would I learn to design (If I had to start over)

Thank you for pointing this out "I hate my work" phase. I really needed someone to say this to me!!! It is common I didn't knew.

[@elevatedigits]

by chance are you or do you know anyone looking for a web design starter kit valued at $200 for just $45 and i have a code for them to get $5 off?

[@erginadrovic3653]

This is exactly what we did on the first year of graphic design studies and the fact that this is free and well explained is incredible. I've spent 1700 dolars for the first year and I feel like im scamed because i still needed you tube for everything.

[@piccolaradge8333]

I mean he studied graphic design too! You didn’t waste your time there

[@icesokar3637]

And what did you study for the second year? could you tell me plz? And what kind of projects and homeworks have you done ?

[@kathyfernanda8644]

i fell you bro. I studied graphic design too and payed quit a lot of money, but at the end of the day i always searched tutorials on youtube.

[@davidsuppa]

I've done some occasional work here and there over the years as a designer but never really felt I could make it a real career out of it for myself. Your attitude and sincerity is really refreshing and your courses are well laid out and easy to follow. As someone who is hoping to make some changes in their life, you're absolutely providing me with some of the necessary tools and support that is so hard to find. Thanks dude!

[@paco9766]

It doesn't matter what happens or how the industry evolves. But in my opinion, Photoshop will always be the Godfather of all creative tools. I haven’t been using Photoshop anymore but I miss the old days of spending entire afternoons playing with it, trying to be creative and improve my craft.

[@MiguelNovelo]

They took most of the 3D and put it in their specific 3D apps that required to pay extra $30 dollars... a full moneygrab. I've been using procreate and I can see a future where photoshop becomes irrelevant. With either a one pay app or open source like blender.

[@harambeboy]

I would ignore learning every design tool - I’d focus on learning what industries designers work in, then focus on which interests you and what tools those designers use.

[@terasss2]

I'm a lot more on the code/development side of things, focusing on front-end web development but every single project I've done so far I feel like is lacking in terms of design, which is why I want to learn more about design on the side. And this video has been a great "landing page" for design, so thank you very much!

[@elevatedigits]

I may have a solution...

[@nyashachiroro2531]

I'm still firmly on the software part. Learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other web technologies. There was this tip from Kevin Powell where he basically said when you are learning to code especially frontend, stop trying to design stuff. Instead look for ready made designs and implement those. Once you can do that then move on to learning design.

[@Culturelens]

You do understand that there is a difference in UI design and front end development right?

I was using Illustrator and it's a great tool but I recently had some financial problems, now I'm using Affinity Designer and I think is a better alternative, is really close to Illustrator and it's just a one time payment. A better option for those who can't afford Adobe subscription.

[@yellej3314]

I learned the big 3 in college, Photoshop, Illustrator, & Indesign. I’m able to do print, logos, photo manipulation, branding, illustration etc. If you don’t know what you want to do I would definitely learn all 3. I use all of them as a graphic designer. We did exercises for each program i would suggest looking on the homepage of the software/adobe website for tutorials. Figma is something I use for websites & at my work to collaborate on different client projects. Would definitely learn that if you want to build apps or work in corporate. I need all of this software for the different projects I take on.

[@fernandofsalvia]

@ransegall, you are trully inspirational man! Tnx for all your contribution and advices.

As someone looking to change careers from a completely different field, thanks for providing this.

[@moodcatching]

I've done this myself in 2016, after working in a completely different field to start with and only having some experience from building with photoshop as a hobby. Definitely the best decision of my life. The first few years were tough and I was in a situation where I was in-house designer for a company, which paid very badly and I had lots and lots of work to do. Even if I felt miserable in the beginning, taking this job and learning all the stuff along the way, was the best way to actively learn and become better at all facettes of design. Now I've branched off into website design mostly and am so glad for all the information that is out there. But the single most important thing for me was: Get out there and design, show your work to others, offer work for low cost or free as a practice, go talk to people and tell them what you're doing. The amount of times I later in life got contacted by people that needed a designer is baffling! You got this, just proceed :)

amazing info

Could you please share why Webflow is better than Elementor or Divi? I am having a hard time figuring the pros and cons. I am only starting in web design but it seems like the pros don’t use platforms like Wix and go straight to Wordpress with Elementor and the like. Thanks so much for the video❤

[@estefmendiburu4200]

My best friend is a long time Wordpress dev and as such is acquainted with Elementor. When he tried Webflow he admitted it was way easier and quicker to develop Webflow websites than Elementor. As someone who's not a designer, I find Webflow to be very intuitive and friendly for beginners. If your website is heavy with interactions, integrations and custom code (HTML, CSS) personalized elements, then Webflow might not be the best, but it does provide a very smooth experience for design/development.

How to learn design: step 1 be rich to get the software you need (adobe photoshop alone is 23€ / month so a year of photoshop use comes at 276€ / year) sure if you are a student it is less expensive but if you wat h a video like this chances are you are not a grafic design student. I am not, i am an adult interested in learning some design for a startup i am about to launch with no assurance I will make these 280€ in my first year. So I will stick with Gimp.
