You have basic knowledge of coding so graphic design will be easier for you in the learning. As per my opinion, to learn the basis of the graphic design such as line, shape, texture and scale etc. With the help of online tutorials or any of the better online sources like blogs, articles are the best way to becoming a good graphic designer because these elements are most important in the graphic design.

I am learning Web Design from YnG Web Media from Delhi, India.
It's nice to be here.

Here's my opinion. People who call themselves "Graphic Designers" are almost always not true designers who have been trained at an art school. Learning graphic design by being self taught or reading books and watching videos is not enough. I did that in the beginning and found that there were areas I lacked. Nowadays anyone who has designed a few flyers will call themselves a "graphic designer", and I believe this to be such a loose title because of this.

I then enrolled myself in a legitimate art school and my eyes were truly opened! It filled in alot of gaps in my designs that I knew were missing from the start. If you are willing to dish out the $$ and invest yourself in time and quality education, go to an art school. Being self taught is good and videos are great for references but they do NOT complete you as a good well rounded designer.

Learning graphic or web designing is a creative task. If you have creativity and passion to learn web designing you can start websites creation with html and css.

everyitsolution 02-03-2014 06:50 AM

graphic designs with relative ease with much practice and repetition! Do many different projects to refine talents and skills.

You may want to use your skills in "IT": internet tech/design.

justclickweb 02-11-2014 12:37 AM

There are many things to learn. If you are computer literate then you probably know several of the basics already. Here are a few of the areas to learn:

Scaling: Resize by percentages or by the desired dimensions (measurements), Reduce, Enlarge;
Maintain aspect ratio, Symmetrical scaling, or not;
Non-symmetrical scaling, Change only height -- or Change the width -- or both, but not in the original proportions (not maintaining aspect ratio, not symmetrical);
Resample in terms of pixel per inch or per centimeter, etc.;
Draw/Paint, fill a defined area with color, texture, or percentage screen values;
Modify images/Photos, color "correction" or changes;
Use different formats for saving graphics for differing purposes:
GIF - Drawings with layers, transparencies, can be animated;
JPEG - Photo images are great for the internet;
PNG - Photo images with layers, transparencies;
