Thank you for your comment and reading somebroad. When I first began my career as a designer, I definitely purchased, read, or looked through a variety of design books and periodicals for inspiration and useful tips. I even tore out ads, illustrations, logos, and other designs from magazines in or heading to the trash bin and stored them in folders to flip through for ideas whenever I wanted. Not many publications provided production methods back then; most only showed images of final design projects and possibly summaries of the criteria that solutions needed to meet. These days, finding information is right at your fingertips. If you simply Google "graphic design tips" you'll have a plethora of blogs, books, websites, and even tutorial videos you can choose from. I don't plug products, but if you watch this short introductory video from John McWade at Before & After ( http://www.bamagazine.com/ ), you'll be able to appreciate a nice overview to some basic design considerations. The site also has a discussion forum where projects can be reviewed and discussed at www.mcwade.com/DesignTalk/ . I hope these links and the encouragement to Google for more provides you with some inspiration and encouragement to look anywhere and everywhere for more useful information you can use whenever needed.
