I am a complete novice in graphic design and was wondering what is the best route to get into it and possibly web design in the future.
What should I concentrate on first? Is it best to go on a course or self study? I can't really study full time at the moment and can't find any part time graphic design courses, only full time at local colleges. Does anyone know of any?
I have looked on Amazon for books and have found;
Graphic Design School: The Principles and Practices of Graphic Design
The Non-Designer's Design Book
Are these a good place to start?
I have started teaching myself photoshop/illustrator, should I also focus on improving my drawing skills or is drawing not as important now a lot of work is computer based?
Thanks for your help,
Andrew
