Several dynamic techniques, such as creating realistic fire, raindrops,
etc. Offers a helpful "Tip of the Day" that always adds to my toolbelt.
StockExchange Tutorial Competition
The free stock photo exchange site created a tutorial competition for
photographers and graphic artists. Listed on the right hand side of
the page (Top Blogs/Tutorials) are several very helpful and handy hints
from taking better photos to manipulating
images
in
Photoshop. Personal favorites are "Tutorial1:
White Background" and "Reflections",
which I used for the above images.
Tutorial Outpost
A great source for tips in Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, and 3D Studio
Max. My personal favorites are: Textures
and Web site Backgrounds, and Web
Buttons and Layouts. There are hundreds of tips that are well explained
with step-by-step instructions.

Graphic Design
The Non-Designer's Design Book

. Simple, straightfoward, easy to remember, applicable. I have used this book
in every design work I've create since I first read it in 1998. Her
Typography
book is also amazing and very helpful in text layouts.

color schemes. Great resource when you need inspiration or need help
finding complimentary colors that work well together.

My ultimate goal in designing with CSS would be to take a stab at creating a design for CSS Zen Garden. It is an experiment with using the same HTML markup for every design and finding as many possible design variations in CSS as possible.

Particularly helpful in demonstrating "floating".
