Many friends are asking me how to learn self-taught Graphic Design?

Everyone has different ways of learning things, some people may prefer to learn from tutorials and practice right from youtube, read books, ask friends etc. Find the most convenient way to learn for yourself so that you can more quickly understand from the material to the material learned.
3. The appropriate software
Graphic design software is very much in number, I think you should start learning from the software you need. For example if you learn design aims to follow the logo design contest then learn software that can create vector images like Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw, if you want to learn design to process photos use photoshop and so on. Get to know the type and name of the software for graphic design and its usefulness so you do not go wrong in learning.
4. Set goals
The important thing to note is the goal, to start learning the design you have to determine the direction of where you are studying the design, whether you want to work or open a printing business or just to process photos to be displayed in social media. It is worth noting that you get a definite result and in accordance with the needs.
5. Focus on learning
You should be able to share time in learning, while you are learning to avoid the things that interfere with your concentration, such as facebook, twitter, instagram, fuel or people around you, Stay focused in learning so you can more quickly understand the material you are learning.
6. Take advantage of Google
