Graphic design is an outlet for creativity, but creativity isn’t where it begins and ends. Like all crafts, it needs to be studied, mastered and applied. In “ye olde” days, craftsmen had apprentices which worked for them and, hopefully, learned from them. These days, craftsmen are authors. They write books about their experiences, and some of these books you can get for free.

By extension, as a graphic designer, you need to know how to use Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Each month, we do a roundup of the best tutorials we have found in the past 30 days, and post it on our website.

To be truly good at your craft, you need to constantly up-set your skills, and this is especially true in the world of web design. Fact of the matter is that is that it is impossible to know everything there is to know about web design, but if you are passionate it, than that’s one of the things that makes it so exciting. Passion manifests itself in two ways: doing what you love, and learning what you love.
