To teach yourself graphic design, books are a really useful learning resource. To become a self taught graphic designer, you need all the help you can get, and design books are full of the stuff you missed out on by not going to university. Honestly sometimes I think students should just save their money and buy a stack of books and a few online courses.
This video goes through a small selection of my graphic design book collection to give you a few recommendations of some cool learning resources that i think will help you massively if you’re trying to do this on your own.
Let me know if you have any cool design books or creative books, or even just general motivational books that have helped you on your journey. Or even online stuff! I’m not fussy. Leave me a comment.
