Re: Design Resources

www.photoshopcafe.com taught me plenty...I know Woolies had some awesome links for it.

You might try the Digital Design forum...or this thread within it

Re: Design Resources

I agree with Andy - http://www.alistapart.com/ for codemonkeys.

Also http://www.webmonkey.com/ for beginners.

As for free (or near-free) stock photo sites, try http://stock.d2.hu/ and http://www.istockphoto.com/

For free fonts try http://www.fontmonster.co.uk/ and for cheap fonts go to http://www.unionfonts.com/
