asked on

Find me some books (or links) on graphic web design

Hi,

I need some people who know what they are talking about to recommend some material for me. I don't mind if it is an online course, or a book or a membership to a website or even someone who wants to teach me for a fee...

I really want to learn how to create professional looking web sites.

If you want I can give you a list of web sites I have done, so you can see where I'm at and what areas need work.

I like the idea of hiring a mentor, but I think there are some more basic skills I am lacking before I do that.

I seem to get stuck working out a colour scheme (I don't even know how to pick a colour scheme), and also drawing up a general layout for the site...

I mean if someone provides me with colors and layout then I can easily whip it up using CSS, HTML and PHP... thats no problem for me, but I want to start designing my own sites... I get heaps of ideas but I can't turn them into reality.

Thanks all,

Hey,

Great reply! can I just give it another day or so to see if anyone else wants to contribute?

Otherwise your answer is great... do you have any links to layout of websites? I'm not sure if I'm looking at the hueristics of a website or if I need ideas or theory behind actual layouts of sites...

maybe you can interpret my crazy thoughts.
