10 Amazing YouTube Channels to Boost Your Graphic Design Skills
There are a plethora of YouTube Channels you can subscribe to in order to boost your graphic design skills. However, there are ten specific places where I find myself returning to and using, time and again. Let's take a look at them.

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is practically the geographic center of the design industry. Their YouTube channel features a broad range of tutorials and tips. With a subscription base of over 370,000 people, Adobe Photoshop is catering to the needs of both beginners and advanced designers. At present, the most watched video tutorial is about how to use the Content Aware tool in Photoshop.

PHLearn 

Phlearn is one of the most professional-looking YouTube channels I’ve ever come across. It is run by a group of leading designers who share in-depth tutorials on a variety of topics. The channel currently offers more than 500 tutorials to a base of over one million subscribers. To date, their most popular video explains How to Remove Anything from a Photo in Photoshop. Designers can also benefit from the channel's Premium Tutorials, which are not only more complex but displayed in higher quality.



Will Paterson 

Will Paterson is a famous graphic designer who specializes in logo design, Adobe Illustrator, and brand identity. What I really like about Will is the humor he tries to add in almost every video. This makes it easier for designers to engage with the information he delivers, and better relate to some of the issues he brings up.

Over 150,000 people have subscribed to his YouTube Channel, and the most popular hand lettering tutorial is titled How To Use A Brush Pen. This is a great channel for newbies who are about to enter the design world.

Swerve Designs 

Run by a graphic designer named Swerve, this YouTube channel is particularly accessible because it shares crisp insights about the photo editing process. The videos vary from simple tips to advanced tutorials on Photoshop, Illustrator, and motion graphics. My personal favorites are his speed-art videos. The channel is regularly updated and serves over 150,000 subscribers. The most popular tutorial is called Flat design.

Every Tuesday 

Teela Cunnigham is an established name in the design industry. She is a graphic designer and shares her tutorials in a YouTube channel called Every Tuesday. As expected, all new videos are posted on this day of the week. Most of the videos explain how to use tools like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. Her videos about hand-lettering are also viral among users. With more than 100,000 subscribers, Teela shares tutorials that are directed at all skill levels. Out of all the videos posted, the one about 3 Simple Tricks for Unique Watercolor Textures is the most viewed tutorial.
