Job Description

Hello! E'm Warten Weg. I work as a Graphic Designer in Durban, South Africa. I have extensive experience in graphic layout and building and am also skilled in design. I enjoy discussing our uniqueness with you. How to Teach Yourself Graphic Design So You Can Work From Home

January 12, 2025

How to Teach Yourself Graphic Design So You Can Work From Home

Sawubona, my people! Let me tell you something straight. Are you stuck in Durban traffic on West Street, thinking, “Yoh, I can’t deal with this commute anymore”? If so, you’re in the right place. I’m about to share some powerful insights on how to teach yourself graphic design. You will be capable of working from home. Trust me, it’s going to change your life quicker than a taxi squeezing into a gap in peak-hour traffic.

Table of Contents My Story: From Corporate Zombie to Design Boss

Five years ago, I was that bloke sitting in a cubicle in Westville. I wore a tie that felt like a noose and dreamed about something better. Now? I run Warten Weg from my pad in Pinetown. I rock shorts and slops. I make more money than I ever did in corporate. Hectic, right?

But here’s the thing. Teaching yourself graphic design to work from home involves more than just watching a few YouTube tutorials. It’s not simply calling it a day. Nah, fam. It’s a proper journey, and I’m going to show you exactly how to make it happen.

How to Teach Yourself Graphic Design So You Can Work From Home

The Ultimate Self-Taught Design Roadmap 1. Sort Out Your Basics (The Foundation)

First things first, you need to understand the fundamentals. It’s like building a braai—you can’t just throw meat on the fire and hope for the best. You need to know what you’re doing.

  • Colour Theory: Learn about colour combinations that slap harder than amapiano at a Sunday session.
  • Typography: Understanding fonts is like knowing your wines—it seems fancy, but anyone can learn it.
  • Layout Principles: This is your secret weapon, like knowing where to find parking at the Pavilion.

Pro Tip: You can teach yourself graphic design without spending a cent initially. Start with Canva and GIMP before dropping stacks on Adobe Creative Suite .

2. Build Your Skills (The Real Work)

Now, here’s where most people get stuck when trying to teach themselves graphic design. They jump straight into trying to design logos for big brands when they can barely centre an image. Shame, man. Don’t be that person.

Start small:

  • Make social media posts for your side hustle
  • Create posters for your cousin’s car wash.

Listen, mshana, you need a portfolio that’s going to make potential clients say, “yasis!” Here’s how to build a design portfolio with no experience:

  • Start with personal projects (they don’t need to know it was for your aunt’s birthday).
  • Create mock projects for brands you love
  • Document your design process (clients eat this stuff up).
  • Make it look professional (even if you’re working from your bedroom in KwaDabeka).
4. Get That Online Presence Strong

Bru, in 2025, if you’re not online, you don’t exist. Here’s what you need:

  • LinkedIn profile (yes, even though it’s boring)
  • Instagram portfolio (this is where the magic happens)

Remember, design isn’t just about making things look pretty—it’s about solving problems.

Tools of the Trade (What You Actually Need)

Let me save you some money here. You don’t need everything at once:

  • A decent laptop (doesn’t have to be a MacBook; relax)
  • Adobe Creative Cloud subscription (student discount if you can get it)
  • A good internet connection (fibre is your friend.)
Nice to Have:
  • Second screen
  • Coffee machine (trust me on this one)
How to Teach Yourself Graphic Design So You Can Work From HomeHow to Get Your First Clients

Now we’re talking business! Here’s how to start making actual money:

  • Start Local: Your first client will be that guy selling kotas down the road who needs a menu design.
  • Use Your Network: Tell EVERYONE what you do now.
  • Join Design Communities: Facebook groups, Reddit (r/graphic_design is your friend)
  • Upwork and Fiverr : Yes, the rates are low at first, but it’s a start
Common Mistakes to Avoid (Learn From My L’s)
  • Trying to charge Hillcrest prices with Westville skills
  • Not backing up your work (shame; I lost all my files once during load shedding)
  • Taking on too many projects at once
  • Not getting deposits from clients (got burnt bad on this one)

The best time to start was yesterday; the second best time is now.

The Real Talk Section

Let me be honest with you—learning how to teach yourself graphic design so you can work from home isn’t easy. You’re going to spend many nights staring at your screen, wondering if you’re cut out for this. You’ll have moments where you feel like a proper chop.

But here’s the thing—every professional designer started somewhere. Even those charging R50k for a logo once searched online at 2 AM. They looked up “how to build a graphic design portfolio without clients. “.

Resources to Get You Started

Here’s where you can learn more:

  • YouTube channels (Yes, including the overseas ones—just ignore when they say “y’all.”)
  • Design books (actual books, not just Pinterest boards)
  • Local design meetups (networking is everything, my friend)
Final Words of Wisdom

This is what I want you to understand from this guide. It teaches you how to teach yourself graphic design to work from home. It’s this: it’s possible. I did it, starting from scratch, right here in KZN. No fancy overseas degree, no rich uncle funding my journey—just determination and a lot of late nights.

Remember, design isn’t just about making things look pretty—it’s about solving problems. And trust me, there are plenty of problems out there waiting for someone like you to solve them.

So, what are you waiting for? The best time to start was yesterday; the second best time is now. And when you’re successful, don’t forget about the oke who gave you these tips. Maybe buy me a vanilla cupcake at the next design meetup?

FAQ: Teach Yourself Graphic Design How long does it take to teach yourself graphic design?

With dedicated daily practice and structured learning, most people can develop professional-level graphic design skills within 6-12 months.

Do I need expensive software to start learning graphic design?

You can start with free tools like Canva, GIMP, or Inkscape before investing in Adobe Creative Suite.

Can I make a living as a self-taught graphic designer?

Yes, many successful designers are self-taught. They earn good incomes through freelancing. Some work remotely, while others run their own design businesses.

Lindani L. Thango is the founder of Warten Weg, a KwaZulu-Natal-based design studio specialising in branding and digital design. When he’s not designing or writing blog posts, you can find him braaiing with clients. That’s how we do business in South Africa. Otherwise, he is stuck in traffic on the N2.
