Well, graphics design is a broad subject and designers typically focus on sub areas of graphic design such as web graphics, landscapes, wildlife, portrait, photo retouching etc. Thera re tons of videos in youtube.com about graphic design, you may start from there.

Just go to youtube.com and search for "graphic design tutorials" or "photoshop tutorials" to start.

I agree with this!
What I did was sign up for Free Trials here and here.
Those lasted about 1 month in total which gave me time to figure out specifically what I wanted to learn and the basics of starting on the software I use.
I then just simply searched for youtube videos or specific designers online who offer how-to videos that interested me and continued on until I felt comfortable working on my own and creating personal designs.

You should try Tutplus, for me is the best site related to design, code even software. Most of the content is free but you can also pay for premium account to have access to a lot of other great content like video tutorials.

You can find tons of blogs who teach graphic and web design with Google, also find groups on social media to learn as well.

I would recommend you to hire a local professional for quick offline learning and best result but if you are looking for online courses, you need to download Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Indesign app and start searching on YouTube for Tutorials. YouTube is best platform for all E-learning for free. Make sure to join forum for discussion. Hope it works for you.

Fortunately, one of the best things about learning graphic design is that all you need is a Computer and some programs like Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat, etc. You don’t need to go to class and fall into debt by paying college tuition.

I can tell you my opinion about my education. I have studied myself – it was self-education. Choose Photoshop lessons and make them from simple to complicated. On the Internet there are a lot of paid and free lessons, even on YouTube. The main thing is your desire and everyday practice.

If you really want to be a graphic designer and you have aesthetic sense of creativity then you should get enrolled in your local institute of designing. If you can't do that then try to find out everything related to graphic design on google and then try Youtube.com for videos. You will really find some useful stuff.

Start with the book Picture This. It's a story book of Little Red Riding hood, but will teach you the foundations of graphic design at the same time.
Learn about color, typography, and designing with a grid. ...
Go through a few of these tutorials every day.

Carllat,

Youtube and a 30 trial version of Photoshop is your best bet. I'm a web developer by trade, and naturally I had to learn graphic design as I progressed and gained more clients. That was the cheapest and fastest way for me to learn.

What do you want to learn? If you want to be a great web designer is two things:

1. You learn the photoshop from tutorials how to make website layout.
2. Inspiration. Every day watching the most beautiful designs. Web Creme | Web design inspiration

You are equaling your projects to better projects and you will be better.

Youtube itself has a lot to offer, even reading a few how to's from design websites could send you to a great start.

Of course, apart from learning, practice and eventually master the lessons you pick up from them. Have people take a look and critique your works as well, as constructive comments will help you improve.
