 Need some help to learn graphic design Hi Everyone, Over the years I have worked on different aspects of web design but neglected my graphic design skills... Any recommended resource where I could learn? Something classic like colors, lines, shapes ect... I don't know where to start! Before I can learn to create eye candy and web 2.0 graphics I would like to learn the basics. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Bruno  |

| Have you ever checked out Smashing Magazine? I've been taking web design with graphic design and I found tons of graphic design stuff in there. Loads of tutorials and a selection of the best. They even have a list of freebie stuff to add to graphic programs. So does http://abduzeedo.com I know sometimes the 'easy' stuff can be the hardest...for instance, I can't afford the expensive Adobe stuff so I'm stuck with Gimp or Inkscape. Sometimes a line is not just a line in those things! |

| I studied graphic design for two years in college right out of high school. After my second year I realized that it was not in my future as a career. I didn't like the "structure" and all the "rules". Right now I do a little on the side, mostly logo designs. There are a ton of aspects in graphic design that one must learn. One area that is often forgotten is typography. This had to be the most boring class I had but informative at the same time. Overall it teaches you what various fonts you can and cannot combine to achieve good design. |
