How to start Game designing and level design?

Hello.
I am in 1st year computer science.
I want to start learning game designing and level designing.
Right now i am starting to learn Unity 3D
As i know basic javascript , HTML/CSS & C/C++ only i have to use unity or unreal engine.
So where can i learn it ? any tutorials ?

okay thanks!

Before engine level/shader coding(C++), start with an SDK, and learn to design levels, you can try Unreal Engine 4($19/month), or Cry Engine. Also if you want to learn modding, I'd say you can go with Gamebryo(Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim). For game programming you need tl learn how to write shaders and design textures mostly. There's a plethora of mods here, also check the forums: Fallout3 Nexus - mods and community

Also take a look here for the type of Jobs related to designing a game, you need not be an artist to design games(but you'll need a lot of creativity): ZeniMax Careers

Very bad advice, for a beginner, Unreal/Unity is the best 3D game development engine as of now

OP
Try the brackeys tutorials from youtube.. They are a very indepth tutorial series that explains every concept in Unity 3D.. But if you really want to learn something, tinker around the software yourself. That way you will learn more..
I too am learning Unity 2D, perhaps we can help each other out

?
