    I personally started learning web design by doing a course in an academy then I followed famous channels on Youtube and Blogs to further polish my skills and keep them at top notch. I personally believe that a beginner should first focus on making the base then he/she can learn from the resources available online. Top blogs on design provide with good exposure to what is trending in the industry.
