It was 3 years ago I started to think about becoming a graphic

designer. Well, this is what Im now. I did not attempt any

design school, because I preferred to use the huge amount

of resources that the web offers and experiment by myself

new techniques. In the following 3 articles I would like to

share my experience with all those that approach the

graphic design worldand provide suggestions on how to

find the best resources and how to avoid errors. Today we

will talk about the first steps and the importance to study hard and be patient.

The idea to write this article came from some WeGraphics friends, who sent me emails

asking to share the experiences that made me a successful graphic designer. But lets make

something clear: even if WeGraphics is a good business and after only 6 months from its

birth is my full time job, I dont consider myself a great graphic designer (aaaabsolutely

not!) . I still have to work a lot. Having said that, my advices shall not be rules to follow, but

simply suggestions.

Exploring the graphic design world

Nik Ainley works pushed me to explore the graphics world where I discovered the existenceof communities that periodically release packages of works developed on specific themes;

Depthcoreand SlashThreeare two of those. What a beautiful and amazing things there are!

What heterogeneity of styles! I realized that the graphics is a mean to bring out your

feelings with the expression you want to do it without any compromise or limit. Not necessary

the fact that we like professional works means we want to be a graphics, it simply is that we

have an attitude toward this subject. How many times looking at these beautiful works we

ask ourselves: will I ever be able to do things like these? I can tell you that if you already

asked yourself this question you got it wrong, any work is the combination of

inventiveness and technique . The first you cant learn but the second yes. I understood

I had to acquire technique to be able to express my creativity.

At this point having my goal of learning Photoshop very clear I started to check into the web

if there were some tutorials published in Italian sites. With the exception of few interesting

informations there wasnt a lot. Much more I found when I extended my search throughout

the English sites. Fortuitously I found Psdtutswhich is actually the Photoshop world best

site. I started to follow the tutorials edited by Collis Taeed the founder of what has become

during the last 4 years the best educational network of creativity related blogs, along with

other great initiatives. Collis taught me three important things, first the Photoshop

fundamentals, second that the graphics is not Photoshop and third that a myriad ofbusiness can be de veloped with the graphics. The last thing was what convinced me

that this passion could be easily transformed in a profession.

It that period blogs and WordPress were expanding a lot. Most of the designers use their

knowledge to set up a business on line. Despite my raising passion for the graphic, being a

student of economics, I had a special attention for the economic aspect of the design

industry. In particular my attention was captured by David Leggett of tutorial9and Fabio

Sasso ofAbduzeedo. They are both great designers and their sites are still well appreciated

in the design world. What I liked of David was the ability to publish interesting topics always

object of search by utilizers. His tutorials were short, easily understandable and very helpful.

Teaching Photoshop techniques and photography along with web design in general David

was able to create a big community in a very short time. Fabio instead taught me many

techniques to create Photoshop works able to capture the attention of the visitor. His

tutorials still today are font of inspiration for many designers. Besides the graphic study I felt

that was growing in me the need to share my knowledge, but I knew it was not still the time.

Study, study, study!

As already said graphics is not Photoshop. Again it is the marriage of technique and

creativity. Technique is fundamental thereby if you wish to become a graphic it will be not

sufficient to know how to use Photoshop or Illustrator nor be able to draw beautiful images

on a piece of paper, you need to study. And thanks God internet provides an infinity of

resources.

Below is one of my first experiments. You can see theres creativitybut not much

technique.

I do not want to debate about what is better to do between attending a school design or

learn by yourself. Italy does not offer good institutes for design, and not having the

nudity - one of my f irst experiments

possibility to go out in another state to study I can say I have been forced to proceed by

myself. Obviously studying at home, and just you is not stimulating like being into a class

with other persons that have your same passion. But I can say that in this field friendship

opportunity will come do not worry.

Lets talk know of the technical aspect of the study. It can be divided in two parts: theory and

practice. The theoretical field includes the study of the colors, the typography, the

importance of the logos, the brand identity, the style, the interaction with the user and many

other aspects. The practice instead mostly deals with softwares and how to use them. I will

suggest to study at the same time both theory and practice.

The interest and the passion will speed you up.

In order to help you during your course I collected a group of resources you can utilize such

as books or web sites. Organize your days like real students; 2 hours fully dedicated to

study typography, 1 hour about Photoshop tutorials, a break of half hour and keep going

this way. If you really wish to become graphic professional do not waste your time on

computer only being on Facebook or playing video games. Discipline is very important.

Books:

The culture is relevant but unfortunately has costs. Like previously said Internet is helpful

but it is good to leave the computer sometimes to read a book on the same matter. Here

following there is a list you can buy on Amazon:

Meggs History of Graphic Design

As you can not be a lawyer without

having studied the Roman laws, or be a

politician without having studied the story

of the parties, you can not be a graphic

designer without having studied the story

of the design.This book represents a

need for this matter. In its fourth edition itcontinues the tradition of providing

balanced insight and thorough historical background. This authoritative

book offers expansive coverage of such topics such as Italian, Russian

and Dutch design. It reveals a saga of creative innovators,

breakthrough technologies and important design innovation.

Graphic Design Theory: Readings from

the Field

This book presents groundbreaking,primary texts from the most important

historical and contemporary design

thinkers. It is organized in three sections:

Creating the Field traces the evolution

of graphic design over the course of the

early 1900s, including influential avant-

garde ideas of futurism, constructivism, and the Bauhaus; Building on

Success covers the mid- to late twentieth century and considers the

International Style, modernism, and postmodernism; and Mapping the

Future opens at the end of the last century and includes current

discussions on legibility, social responsibility, and new media.

Sites:

Being updated is a must, so very often I check my feed rss and read articles. Something you

shall never forget is the time managing. Make a selection of web sites to follow. Read high

quality articles only do not waste your time with never end lists.

For example if a site will publish an article titled 30 best photoshop tutorial okay read it,

but if they will continue only editing these type of article forget it.

Here is a list of my preferred sites on graphic design:

Abduzeedo

It is one of the most inspirational sites for designers. It is updated continuously on daily

basis. The variety of topics they deal with run from exploring the graphic world, publishing

tutorials to the discovery of new design talents. Fabio Sasso, the founder, is still full active in

creating resources and awesome tutorials.

WeGraphics blog

I could not miss our blog in the list. Here at WeGraphics we are not only specialized in the

creation of superb quality design resources, we also share our knowledge throughout our

blog. Here you can find a lot of inspirational articles along with outstanding Photoshop

tutorials.

Be patient!

Studying is as necessary as frustrating. The problem is that it is hard to convert our ideas

into digital forms. But what seems to be a limit shall be a spur to gain our goal. Remember

tutorials only teach you the basics then all the rest is left to you to realize. Experimenting

new techniques and using acquired knowledge you will be able to obtain

new techniques and using acquired knowledge you will be able to obtain

improvable results.

With the time you will realize that keeping to follow tutorial has no sense. At this point a

phase of emulation is natural. Do you like a particular work? Well try to remake it with your

personal style. There is nothing wrong about learning from others unless it is only a

repeated copy without creating something original. Time ago I wrote an article about this

matter: How to turn inspiration from others into personal works.

Reaching your own style is a natural process. There is not a written method to follow.

You will realize that there are techniques, a use of colors and in general a way to do that

with the time will become part of you. Same thing is for the style. it shall be something that

dynamically evolves. Do not disdain, after years of work, to follow a tutorial if you think you

can learn something new and interesting.

With that said now you can understand the reason of the title of this paragraph. Before

starting to work and have profit from you need to study a lot. Be patient and manage the

time you have and you see the results will arrive.

back and think I cannot be graphic designer.

Hi Sebastiano, I wonder if you will even see this. But in reference to what you said that Italy

does not offer good design programmes. What about the Florence design academy or

Florence institute of design? I am interested in pursuing a graphic design career in

conjuction with my photography. Do know anything about these schools and their quality of

teaching? Grazie.

Sebastiano,

I want to become a graphic designer. I feel pressured to go to college for a Bachelors

degree in graphic design, but that is very expensive. Is it necessary to do this? I want to

make a career out of it, but not be up to my ears in debt. Do you think that I could really be

a graphic designer using your tips? Learning and studying on my own?

unfortunate thing in all of my studies is when I studied graphic design in high school we

didnt have much of facility to learn anything about photoshop, meaning I am able to plan

and design a banner or logo but only manually (of course at the time I didnt have much

interest in them as I loved drawing and exploring much better, but all my other classmates

who had facilities at home lately became succesful graphic designers as yourself).

As I finished my studies with a little dead end road (I completed a master degree in

History), now Im ready to go back to my roots and continue my studies to be a graphicdesigner.

Well, and after all this lovely long intro I would like to ask you what would be the first step

Hi Sebastiano,

You mentioned

Organize your days like real students; 2 hours fully dedicated to study typography, 1 hour

about Photoshop tutorials, a break of half hour and keep going this way.

Are you referr ing to full-time self-study (3 hours of study followed by a half hour break forthe whole day) or you allocated 3 hours with a half hour break between the 2 sessions

each day?

Thank you for your time.

This is a great starting point, Thanks for the encouragement. Graphic design is something

take. Despite very little experience with Photoshop I was able to work my way using

tutorials and build a library for images (product shots for my previous employer)

I just came across your blog and I must say that it is a very interesting read!

Even if a person had the opportunity to go to a graphic school, that still would not be

enough!

There is still a need for a whole lot of experimentation and interaction with others in the

same field that would help you to progress beyond the norm.

And I agree the Internet that offer some very fabulous resources.
