should i crash higher graphics

im going to be real right now, I've NEVER done graphics before, and to be honest im not even sure about whats required or whats going to be taught throughout the course, but i want to take it for next year in s6.
I am currently doing higher art and design and i want to continue to do something to do with design in the future. Can anyone please tell me if i should risk taking it or should i find a different course to take? is it hard to grasp? Thank youu :]

I did graphics at sixth form and I think it's really not difficult to learn, especially if you're experienced with art. Most graphic design programs are quite simple to use and there's lots of tutorials online if you need to look up how to do things. Also, it's quite a flexible subject. I knew a few people who barely used any digital media in their final projects and instead used paint etc. Personally, I really enjoyed it as someone who did fine art for gcse so I'd recommend it.

Thank you do much for your responce! I was sceptical of the idea of graphics at first, but now I might be taking it next year. ☺️
