My Favorite Design Tutorials

Posted on September 7th, 2011 | Web Design | 2 Comments »

In my opinion, tutorials are the best way to get better at design. They force you to try out new concepts, and put them into action right away. That is, considering you actually do them rather than just reading through them. Studying design principles and best practices is great too, but what I love about design tutorials is that you can almost pick up everything you read about design naturally by putting it into practice.

Finding design tutorials that appeal to you is the best way to go. There are plenty of collections online for tutorials from drawing and sketching, to every design software available. There are design tutorials for web interfaces, designing for specific platforms (like WordPress), web elements, design posters, and more. There are endless styles and trends that are being put into the form of tutorials as well, and it can be easy for designers to find exactly what they want to learn more about.

In this post, I’ll showcase some of my own favorite design tutorials, specific to my design interests and style.
