You Want to Learn Graphic Design from Home, But You Feel Stuck, Unmotivated, or Lost…

You want to learn graphic design on your own to make a career change or just to finally have a creative outlet for yourself.

But, with so much information out there, where do you start?

What’s the most effective way to learn graphic design?

Learning to Think Like a Designer Is the Key…

I learned graphic design on my own, so I understand the frustration and slow progress of learning graphic design from home.

However, I finally discovered the best approach for learning graphic design once and for all.

You see, I thought the most important aspect of graphic design was all about learning computer skills. I thought that, if I learned enough software techniques, I would be able to do graphic design.

I was wrong!

Once I changed my approach to learning graphic design, I quickly started creating designs that worked.

And the approach was simple:

• Once I unlocked the key to actually think like a designer, I started to progress quickly and decisively
• Once I understood what makes a design work, my designs started to look more professional
• Once I realized the fundamental rules that apply to any design, I was able to understand what needed to be done on the page or the computer

The Answer to Finally Learn Graphic Design Is This:

The key to learning graphic design is to first and foremost understand the main principles of design.

But:

Understanding these concepts is tricky because they are abstract notions.

After teaching graphic design in college to complete beginners for almost 10 years, I’ve developed a method for teaching design principles in crystal clear terms, with dozens of visual examples that provide a straightforward picture of how to apply these principles.

Once you understand these fundamental rules, you will actually be able to start doing graphic design, because you already have a solid idea of how to create a composition and know what “tricks” to use in the planning of a design.

The Course

In this course, I will teach you the fundamental rules that apply to any design. This is the rundown:

• First, we will discuss how you should really view the task of design and how you should define it in order to become an effective graphic designer.
• Then, I will teach you to recognize and use the fundamental building blocks that make up any graphic representation, which will allow you to “build” designs more effectively.
• Next, I will teach you what design principles are and how they are applied to effective designs. These are “rules” you can repeat over and over to create designs that are attractive, professional, and effective.
• Finally, I will teach you the most important rules of composition and layout, which will allow you to arrange graphics and information and plan a design successfully.

In sum, the course is a highly efficient compendium of all the graphic design theory you’ll need, explained clearly and in a way that is applicable in real life.

More specifically, you will learn:

• The building blocks of graphics
• The most important principles of graphic design
• Rules and tricks you can apply to any design to make them look professional
• How to arrange graphics and information effectively to create highly attractive and communicative compositions
• What you should know about computer skills and how to learn software efficiently

Your Instructor

Hi! My name is Ruben and I help home-learners learn graphic design once and for all, so that they can become unstuck, finally start progressing, and successfully transition to a graphic design career or path.

I may teach graphic design in college now, but I started learning graphic design just like you, from a computer at home.

I made many mistakes, but I finally developed a method for learning and becoming a graphic designer successfully.

And I have helped hundreds of students jumpstart their graphic design careers by teaching them what matters the most in graphic design.

Today, I’m extending that opportunity to the readers of my blog, Self-Made Designer.

Who Is This Course for?

The course is meant for people who want to or are in the process of learning graphic design from home and feel stuck, unmotivated, or lost.

Computer skills are not necessary.

I’m looking for students who are highly motivated to progress in their path to becoming a graphic designer.

Ideally:

• You are resolute in your goal to learn graphic design
• You have a specific reason and motivation for learning graphic design (for example, you need a career change or want to finally pursue your creative side)
• You have the discipline and commitment to attend sessions via Zoom for several weeks

What Do You Get?

This is what’s included in the course:

• Live sessions via Zoom with yours truly, a college professor who has been teaching graphic design with great success for many years but who is also a self-made designer who learned on his own
• Access to class recordings (only for the group)
• Access to a private course community via Discord, where we can answer questions and exchange feedback
• Access to all future versions of this course, regardless of price increase and additional lessons and materials

How Much Does It Cost?

I’m offering the course only to my readers for an introductory low price of $97.

This price point will increase in future versions. I currently want to test out the best ways to teach to an international audience and to craft the best learning experience for current and future students.

However:

I will support PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) if you’re enrolling from a country with lower purchasing power in relation to the USD.
