How to study to be a designer?

Question

Design

Goal: to become a motion designer.
There is a plan:
- to take a graphic design course (to learn the basics of design: color, composition, shapes, typography)
- to study illustrator, photoshop, figma, etc., fill your hand, make a portfolio, for example!
- already with this knowledge, study design in dynamics: motion design course (after, cinema, etc.)
Plus or minus so.
Why: the soul lies, there is a background in marketing, experience in website development, knowledge of Photoshop, figma.
And I also want to earn money in the future!

What online schools do you recommend? or slightly change the plan? No trolling please :)

Answer 1

No. All that you wrote is all the technical skills that a chimpanzee will master, and the main value of a designer is in his head. To make good design, you need to develop the appropriate mindset, look at examples of good design and understand why it was done that way and not otherwise, in general, broaden your horizons.
As a test task - do you know such a YouTube blogger Dima Kuplinov? Come up with a cool pre-roll for game videos, even in the form of storyboard sketches, directly in pencil, something in the spirit of pre-rolls that Marmok has for example.
This is where you will understand that all your technical skills did not make you a designer, as you sat in front of a blank sheet and you sit, not knowing where to start.

Answer 2

You need to find adequate resources to read the information and buy a good course after that you will already know the basics in design

Answer 3

If you need a course to understand the color aspects, compositions and typography, then, sorry, it's better to immediately go look for yourself in another field.

Answer 4

I agree with Jumochka .
Your task is apparently not to learn design, but to buy courses. One, second, third.
Oh, those eternal students... You
open YouTube and smoke everything. You open behance and you absorb like a sponge
