What is graphic design and what does it mean?
The word graphics comes from the German word. Put the flowers of my mind in the vase, I will decorate your mind as carefully as you like. Graphics design is the manifestation of sorting out the mind. What I mean by graphic design is the exterior of anything painted with the color brush of your mind. In other words, graphic design is bringing innovation in anything by mixing pictures, any scene, words using one's own ideas, art, skills, experience etc. An artist creates visual ideas by combining his own imagination, information, and customer ideas through computer software, so graphics design is an art. Like Nakshikanta of Bangladesh, muslin sari is the graphics design of that era. Basically, creating a design in this way is called graphic design. Your own ideas, work skills and some unique designs can transform creativity into a profession through a creative process.
First, the graphics design is divided into two parts
1) Still image graphics
2) Motion graphics
There are basically 4 types of still image graphics
1) Raster image (pixel basis)
2) Vector image (pixel independent)
3) Typography (comes in 2 types)
There are two main types of motion graphics
1) Animation graphics
2) Video graphics
Graphics can be designed using any software
Graphics can be done in two ways, by hand drawing and by software. Even if you work by hand, it is through a scanner, but you need to know the use of "graphics design software". Whether you can create as many images as you want through graphics design will depend entirely on your skills, ideas and knowledge. The links below are personal to me but can't be said to be improved in the current context just look to learn and know.

Version 1.5 was when I learned these tasks. Technology was not so advanced then. I have seen that it has been made much easier. The first and foremost work of graphics is the detailed idea of the use of tools. Here is a brief description of how I learned to do things. That is, you will see the submenus at least once a day by placing the mouse pointer in the menu bar of the software that you will open on the computer. Learn how to use tools and keyboards with a mouse pointer on similar toolbars. Then you will see that learning your job has become much easier.
I like the books of Systech Publications. You can learn from the books you like.
