Web Designers' Edge – The Self-Taught Designer's Best Friend

Design Lessons For Free, And You Don’t Have To Search Google

One of the best websites I know of to get great lessons on web design, especially if you didn’t get a masters in design at a big name school (or a design degree at any school at all :) is Smashing Magazine.

Just do a search on their website or just browse the articles for really good insight and tips on making your design a lot better.

Here are a couple of my favorite articles:
