Pursue an Online Course

All a graphic designer needs to work is a laptop and an internet connection. If you are based in Ahmedabad, Baroda, Surat, or Rajkot and are holding on to your dreams of becoming a graphic designer because of the lockdown, you can pursue a graphic designing training course online. Tops Technologies, the top leading graphic design institute, offers graphic designing online courses. On enrolling, each student is provided with a mentor. After each session, students are provided with live projects that they can complete with the help of their mentor. On completion of the course, Tops also helps its students get placed through its placement assistance program.

Practice and Sharpen Your Skills

If you have already completed your course, you can practice and hone your skills.

As a student when you learn graphic design, you are taught how to use tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, CorelDraw, SketchBook, Adobe XD, SketchApp, etc. You are also taught the concepts of design principles, digital typography and color theory, photography, and image editing, etc.

The best way to utilize this period of the lockdown is to practice your skills regularly to keep them sharp and effective. You can take up personal projects such as spreading informative posts on your social media handles to create awareness about the pandemic.

Take Up Freelancing

Once you have completed taking graphic design classes, freelancing is a great way to put your skill to use and make some quick bucks! Websites such as Fiverr, UpWork, FlexJobs, LinkedIn Profinder, Dribble, PeoplePerHour, etc. are platforms that offer tasks for freelancers. You can register yourself on any of these platforms to pick up freelance projects. This way, you can keep practicing your skills and earn some money at the same time. Learning Graphic Design for Beginners can be a daunting task. It takes time and effort to learn the basics of design before you can start designing your own work.

Read Good Books on Designing

Books are a man's best friend! And for good reason! You can utilize this time to read more books and learn new concepts. As a graphic designer, you must learn more about colors, typefaces, fonts, design principles, grid systems, design thinking, visual grammar, etc. You can take online graphic design classes at the same time and read more books to supplement your knowledge. This is the time to go beyond your syllabus and gain knowledge that can help you as a professional!

Here's a list of some of the books that can help you build your knowledge further:

  • A Non-Designer's Design Book
  • Thinking with Type
  • How to Use Graphic Design to Sell Things
