Guys, do you have any books I can read on how to be a great designer in photoshop for webpages? I am expert in coding, but no means in design. So I need help! Thanks!
Design. Before & After Mag. Period, they have some really cool stuff. Other things like Photoshop are just tools, Before & After will show you HOW to design, HOW things work together.
THANKS!!! EVERY ADVICE COUNTS! So I am going to hold on my coding (already got CSS set up..) and then focus on design! So where do I get before and after magazine?
No matter how aggorant you are, nothing to contribute here? I already searched google and it doesn't refine what I was looking for. But thanks. :biggun:
I don't think you can read about how to become a good designer from books, though there are a few from SitePoint. The way I learned and am continuing to learn good design is from online galleries which, most of the time, showcases current trends and styles. [EDIT]: Smashingmagazine is a great resource that I visit everyday.
Magazine's aren't bad. There's some nice little tutorials at www.good-tutorials.com, but they wont really explain design theory and such. I think the best thing you can do is find a class or something to take at a local university, college, or even tech. Nothing beats hands on/lectures with someone who knows what they're doing.
