Hey everyone!

I’m just starting my journey in graphic design and looking for some great books to help me build a solid foundation. I’m curious to know which books y’all found really helpful when you were getting started. Whether it’s about design principles, typography, color theory, or just general inspiration, I’d love to hear your recommendations.

Hi everyone, I’m curious if there are any self-taught graphic designers here. If you’ve mastered tools like Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc.) and graphic design theory on your own, I’d love to hear about your journey.

What resources did you use? Books, online courses, YouTube tutorials, or something else? How did you approach learning both the technical tools and the principles of good design?

Any tips or advice for someone just starting out would be amazing. Thanks in advance!

I'm building this AI infographics generator product.

But I'm a developer not a designer. Want to understand more deeply from a designer's point of view about infographics design:

1, would you use an AI infographics product?
2, what's the biggest pain points?
3, what do you think is the best trade off between control and flexibility? what details do you want to control, what do you want to leave all to AI?

Thank you so much!
