I can't speak to graphic design specifically as it's a rather new hobby for me as well, but as with any hobby or skill, I'm sure a big one is practice, practice, practice! and, as br0keboi mentioned above me, youtube some tutorials and stuff - I've found youtube to be a very valuable source of info. On many topics, not just graphic design! Good luck!

I'd say to try and do everything you are interested. See a visual treatment that looks cool? Try replicating it! See a layout that is out of this world? Try using it in your design!

Doing such things will give you so much more insights on how others design as well as your own experiences.

The best approach is to study the fundamentals of graphic design.

Learn the basics of color theory, layout, typography and other subjects.

Search on Youtube or Google and you will find tons of tutorials.

Once you master these areas you can expand into more professional projects if you wish.

Best of luck.

Nothing is true, everything is permitted.
