I'm a multimedia design student and all this knowledge I have is unconnected information, small bits of information about everything, not specific information about anything concrete. I learned how to use Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign well, but no one taught me how to actually start being designer, get recognized and get work! Your video gave me a sense of structure, where to start, what to learn first, and how to get where I want to be, so thank you!! You managed to help me more than 2 years of uni!
Yes. I learned bits of everything in college, but very general and not in detail. For a job, you really need to dive deep into a subject. In my college they didn't prepare me properly on how to get a job either. My major was art and my minor was media and communication.
With the internet and knowledge being free, its just a matter of your personal interest and drive. I have learnt ps , illustrator, indesign, corel etc all on my own .
@@rahulgaurr09 It was a continuous process. Basics are very important. Video is good for learning how to do stuff, but reading books and then doing practical is more effective.

I just graduated with a degree that I don't really have much passion for and was looking at learning graphic design and just want to say that I love this vid! It really gave me a sense of direction and I plan on starting soon!
You have no idea how helpful this video was. I went the college route, but after graduating felt I didn't really LEARN the skills necessary to be successful outside the classroom and ended up not being able to do anything with my degree and that's been so stressful. I think this is really going to help me to try and get back on track. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you so much man. Having graduated with an economics degree and moving back to my third world country where employed jobs pay scraps I had to open my own marketing and advertising agency but I knew nothing about design. Thanks to your video I am on my way to becoming a designer without paying for a single class. Thank you so so much.
I seriously and geniunely say THANK you for this video. I have a financial problem sooo its hard for me to enroll a graphic design school. But this video gave me HOPE. I also take down notes
That's the best comment I've had so far. Glad you find it helpful! Keep me posted with your progress and let me know when you find your first design job :)
I'm in the same situation too, can't afford design school, can't get a job related to design since I don't have the skills yet now working full time to pay for a good laptop (which reminds me ANY good laptop recommendations for Product design? Please). This video really really helped a lot, I get a clearer mindset of what to do now. Really, thank you for giving these informations
Thank you so much on behalf of designers who have taught themselves, there are so many reasons - financial and emotional and personal - reasons why we choose to learn at a pace outside of a school. Thank you for your support
I'm starting to learn about graphic design like two months ago, and I've been searching for the learning process a lot, but this video is way damn good. it really bright me up. I'm gonna work hard in this one year process and share the results with you. It was so helpful for beginners.
I love you man. I just decided to dabble into graphic design in order to boost my content creating skills. I actually bought a course and was highly disappointed. This video actually did for me in 20 minutes what 10 hours of the course could not do; Draw out a path of action on how to achieve my goals within a specific time frame. Thank you for this.
@@greatgiginthesky100 turned 34 3 weeks ago. I have had to learn that age is just a number, but it is refreshing to see many others who have been anxious to take that step, and did just roll into the industry fresh out of uni ^^ I'm trying to get out this admin job, making it my last admin job EVER, and meanwhile, studying Graphic (and UI) Design to break the cycle.
I have one year left of university and I don't feel prepared for the work force due to lack of technical skills, but this video has given me a detailed plan I can work with to feel ready to take on the world upon graduation! I'm setting up my plan and some time sheets for my plan on Google Docs as I write this, and I just wanted to say thanks Caleb, this video is a lifesaver.
@@KaYungCalebLai I figure the least I could do was say thanks for this great video. Also yes I would love that invite for Dribble, how would I go about doing that?
To this day, this still has to be one of the BEST videos on this topic out there! A lot of videos just ramble on and dont really give specific steps on what to study and all that. So thank you for your clear, succint video! Another tip that I think might help, and correct me if im wrong, but maybe looking at the curriculums of graphic design programs, seeing what they include in their classes, and looking up information based on those classes that they offer on your own.
6:30 - you forgot to mension that, yeah to make some progress you can copy other's designs but don't publish it anywhere, cause it can be considered as stealing and a lot of people will judge you really hard
sure yep. If you watch the entire video, you'll see how I suggest posting work online. of course you don't want to post other people's work on your portfolio :)
Dude, great job. Took me awhile to find this video- it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I was toying with 4 years of design school..but something told me that it was too much time wasted, and that this type of skill can be learned more quickly and condensed. Thanks!
@@KaYungCalebLai I actually did have a question for you. I've been looking into Upwork, but the clients want to see samples, naturally, upon applying for a project. How exactly do we retain our own real samples in order to successfully complete this step without applying with "fake projects"? What real samples would we use at this point in the process? (I'm new to design so I am not starting with any portfolio or sample work to pull from). Thanks!
@@andistevens1999 Yea so that's why I mentioned don't apply to the work on those websites. You can take a look at the project brief and come up with a solution that'll solve their problems. You don't need to spend time dealing with the client, instead focus on building your portfolio and find real high paying clients after.
This is great advice. I would also encourage graphic designers to learn how to prepare files for print, this is also a very technical skill like learning Ai or Ps but it doesn't take much time. I did not study GD but at my first GD job I had to learn how to prep a lot of flyers/posters/signs on different papers for print. If you're not sure how to prep a file for print call or email the printer they'll be happy to help.
Although this will automatically happen if people follow your advice, I would also add, that aspiring designers should proactively expose themselves to good design by joining professional organizations and/or get involved in the design community.
Totally agreed. A design is only good when people think it is. Design trend is fast changing and you definitely want to keep yourself up to date at all time.
Thank you for this video!! It solidifies my choice to be “self taught” rather than going back to an experience design school. I appreciate the outline you give and your advice.
You're welcome! Self taught definitely works if you're so determined. You can find much better materials online than those taught in school courses. Good luck!
I'm a beginner and I'm kinda anxious about my career as a graphic designer. I have learnt Ps and Ai for 6 months but I feel like I'm still lacking a lot. Now, I've watched your study guide and it encourages me up. I'll be following this study guide and come back here after a year. Will be telling you what I achieved. Thank you, sir. 🥰
@@renemc6530 oh my gosh. Graphic Design has been so far so good for me. I am now Graphic design major student and there are a lot of opportunities when you pursue Graphic design. If you are a creative person and you love working freelance job, this is totally worth it.
I have been learning design for a year now but I didn't give it a time sometimes I did nothing that involves design for months so I decided to start again and since I did the first two steps I'm gonna do a revision (I'm gonna look back at the first two steps) for the next 10 days after that when the new year starts I'm gonna do the other steps thanks. also, I'm gonna update my comment the next year to see how far I went.
This is my first video, but I just lightly went over your other videos and I must say, I can’t WAIT to start my journey. And I’m so happy that your video was the first I clicked on!! Thanks✨
Thank you! This was very helpful. Just graduated with a business marketing degree and want to start a career in graphic design, without going back to school. Very overwhelming when you don’t know where to start. Thanks for the guidance!
This is the best video I have seen on graphic design for a novice like me. I'm 40 and i was thinking to learn about graphic designing and start my own freelance. I randomly bump into this video and it explained exactly what I need to plan my learnings on graphic design. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. It's really helpful. Btw, I'm your new subscriber.
This is THE STUDY MANUAL I've been looking for. Thank you so much!! I started learning UI/UX design recently and realized that I have to start from the very beginning to ensure a solid foundation-color theory, graphics design, AI, Sketch, Photoshop etc. so I decided to start from graphic design. Made a few searches and boom your video popped up! Thank you so much for taking the time to structure everything. It feels like a design school syllabus! Thank you again. Already liked and subscribed :D
HUGE HELP!! I am looking for a career change that suits my artistic eye and creative mind but wasn't sure how to start. This video definitely helped me get an understanding of the steps I need to take in order to be a successful designer! Much thanks. Look forward to more of your videos.
I went to college for your years with a major in art and they didn't teach me many painting or drawing skills, to have an artistic job you really need to teach yourself as much as possible. I think one year is definetely enough to get a job in graphic design.
Subscribed! Thank you for inspiring me whilst running a business, homeschooling my 7 year old and chasing a 2 year old around. You have re-lit the creative fire in my belly!
Honestly thank you for this video, I have struggled with understanding what I want to do in life I have always been creative and I feel this would be a good career for me. Thank you for going in depth about what it takes in this industry. Keep it up!
Hey sir ! good day ! I was amuse with graphic designing and eager to learn. So i search here on youtube and went to your video. I hope i can be a succesful graphic designer after 2yrs of self learning with the help of you! Godbless sir !!!
I'm seriously so glad I found this video! I'm currently a trainer at my job and I have very little knowledge about graphic design but I have a natural ability to design things. I've been talking to my boss about learning more and development of myself in this direction for my career! I'm going to show him your video and use this as my game plan to see if we can develop me in this direction! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thanx for this video .. this is exactly what i want......i want to work as a graphic designer and didn't know how to start...u explained it so well...now i can do what i wanted
This video is a lifesaver, thank you so much! I discovered graphic design not so long ago and it's something that I became very passionate about and something I want to make my career. But for a self-learner, it is so overwhelming at first because u don't want to "miss" any important knowledge. And this video made me feel so much more confident. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Very informative thanks....I was practicing on inkscape on and off a few years...got back into that...then the other day I was like let me try Adobe illustrator and I dig it a lot...so I've been working with that for a few days now self learning
I am an international teacher who wants to get into graphic design. I would like to say that this video absolutely follows the fundamentals of quality education, or how it is to learn and be a life-long learner. I appreciate this video and can't wait to follow the steps you've outlined here. Thank you so much!
This is very helpful! Thank you Kayung! I watched this video for so many times to take my process on how I will get started as a freelance designer :) I already know the software and I want to focus on branding, web designing and in ui/ux.
WOW Kayung thank you so much for posting this video! I have watched numerous tutorials and your vlog is by far the easiest to follow and understand and providing all the links was so helpful! I am so excited to continue with my career in graphic design! Really THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! I have learned so much. Iam a firefighter in my city and I've always wanted to get into graphic design. And this has not only encouraged me but inspired me to pursue this interesting career. Thank you
Thank you alot for this video, i found it very helpful, i forgot to like your video and went to do my stuff but suddenly i was thinking about design and what you said and how to start, i felt like you said what u have learnt through yeeeaaars in one few min video much appreciated for that, then i remembered and came back to like it XD.
Amazing video. It's really helpful to help me figure out which direction I should go to be a real designer! There are many videos about being a designer but most of them just talking about how to use tools not how to design. Btw thank you for sharing knowledge with us!
Thank for the comment! Yea I try to explain things a bit differently in my video. I was once in your shoe and it was very hard to find helpful content online :)
What a modesty and generous person you are to share these value information! You don't know how grateful i am right now. Please keep up the good work! New subscriber here :)
Kayung Caleb Lai sorry but i want to ask you a few more question. Do you use any app for web design other than Sketch? Could you please recommend some for me to combine?
Cant tell you how much I needed this video. Thanks a lot. Ive been surfing and so happy to finally see this video. Its as accurate as it can be. Love from India.
Glad that I've found this video. It inspire me a lot. I didn't finish my college degree that's why I'm so down. I will follow this steps and i hope that I could become a good graphic designer. Thanks alot
Getting inspiration from other designers is how I started in graphic design. Thank you so much for this video. This will surely help new designers get on their feet!
glad to see this video! Thank you so much for sharing your informative tips. I wanted to learn graphic design but I don't know where to start. so yeaaaah thanks to you I learned a lot 😊

I discovered graphic design not so long ago and it's something that I became very passionate about and something I want to make my career.
