Lynda.com is a fantastic website that offers video lessons for just about all the major design and software program out there like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Fireworks, Flash, InDesign and Dreamweaver. They also have lessons in graphic design principles as well as color and typography.
I learned about the site during one of my web design classes, we actually used one of the Lynda books as a class reference. Whenever I get a new piece of software or I need to learn some extra coding I’ll sign up for a month. When I first purchased the Adobe Creative Design Suite I signed up for a year. With that many new programs I knew I wanted to be able to learn at my own pace without feeling rushed.
As a special offer Lynda.com is providing SKO visitors a Free 24 Hour Pass. You can use this time to view and evaluate the designing software and to check out the design tutorials.
