– I hope that you’ve already heard about this great training resource.  I found Lynda Weinman’s training books over 10 years ago and have been going back for more ever since.  Anything and everything you need to learn as a designer (aside from real world experiences) can be found on this site.  And most importantly it’s affordable and always up to date on the latest softwares/technologies.  It also makes a great reference tool- for all those times you forget how to use a certain tool or other in the Adobe Suite.  It has been a priceless resource in my career and growth as a designer.  I am currently trying to ‘LEARN’ Adobe Illustrator and WordPress blogging.  I’ve worked in illustrator before but I’m not strong in it. Plus I’m a bit rusty after my 18 month baby sabbatical.

Do yourself a favor and check it out.  I guarantee you’ll find something of interest.  Don’t get ahead of yourself like me…  Today – designer, tomorrow blogger, the next day photographer…  FOCUS! Amy! FOCUS!  Keep your skills sharp and you’ll never regret it.
