Some skill in photoshop and illustrator can take you a long way. OpenGL is mostly for developing 3D games.

Hi Moevan Dennis, I'm super psyched that you're interested in learning iOS development!

I'd definitely suggest you start with the Build a Simple iPhone App adventure here on Treehouse. You get to build a really simple Crystal Ball app, and you'll learn how to implement graphics into your views as well as how to animate graphics. ...not to mention, it's a really great introduction to Xcode and iOS development in general!

Best of luck!

I finished the build a simple app project but how would I design 3D or 2D graphics and use that in my app. Would I need to learn web design.

You'd need to learn some new-media skills like Photoshop and illustrator, and you'd probably be interested in learning about OpenGL if you plan on doing any hardcore graphical programming...
