FAQ

How do you start learning graphic design?

While there are many ways to begin learning graphic design, we believe the best way to learn is through private lessons. Our private graphic design lessons provide you with individualized instruction where you get to work one-on-one with a professional teacher who can bring your skills to the next level. Even if you don’t know anything about graphic design, your teacher will get you up to speed, helping you to achieve all your artistic goals.

Can I learn graphic design on my own?

If you’re looking to learn graphic design on your own, we recommend signing up for private lessons where you’re paired up with a certified teacher. During these sessions, your tutor is entirely committed to your success, giving you their undivided attention. You don’t have to worry about competing with other students or struggling to keep up because your tutor will go at your pace and teach according to your preferred learning style.

What are the eight types of graphic design?

The main types of graphic design include visual identity graphic design, marketing and advertising graphic design, art and illustration, user interface graphic design, publication graphic design, motion graphic design, environmental graphic design, and packaging graphic design.

If you’re interested in a specific type of graphic design, be sure to let your private tutor know. When your tutor better understands your goals and preferences, they can craft a customized lesson plan tailored to you. Not familiar with these specific types of graphic design yet? Don’t worry. Your tutor will introduce you to each of these so that you have a better understanding of this computer skill.
