I would like to know more about graphic design. It has been a great experience using WordPress for around 10 years now. I have created websites for other people and I really enjoy doing it – I find it a real pleasure in fact!

My skills are limited to what is intuitive within WordPress. Sometimes I have ideas of how I would like to display images etc but I don’t know where to start. I often get ads from Adobe promising me the world but I am reluctant to commit to a monthly payment for something I am not sure will meet my needs.

I would like to be able to produce a range of products such as attractive flyers, cards, programs for print and online. It would be good to use these skills on websites as well. I would appreciate feedback from any readers who have gone down this path.

This is an example of me wanting to be more creative but getting discouraged easily when I don’t find the right tools. In the course I am doing, “Unleashing Your Creative Spirit” it talks about the barriers we allow to stop us from achieving our goals. I need to get down and do some research about the best way to learn graphic design. I need to set myself a time frame and persevere until I achieve my goal!
