Graphic designer help

CMS has posted a list of helps and pointers for graphic designers:
5 Lists for Graphic Designers (click the above link to read the stories)
  • 1. 50 Ways to Become a Better Designer - Loads of ideas, best practices and general creative stuff straight from the mouths of fellow designers.
  • 2. 10 Things They Never Taught Me in Design School - Start with what you know, then tackle the unknowns. Don't over-think the problem. Learn to give some hierarchy to the details and the big picture. (FYI, the list includes a few profanities)
  • 3. 10 Strangest Desks and Tables - OK, this one has little to do with design, but sometimes you need some funky inspiration, especially when you're thinking about decorating the usually boring church space.
  • 4. 4 Principles that Make for Great Logo Design - Simple and basic stuff, but sometimes that's exactly what you need. Complete with thumbs up and thumbs down examples.
  • 5. 7 Ways to Improve Your Logo - OK, so they don't pitch it in a numbered list format, but we'll make it work. Good thoughts on how to polish an existing logo, including examples from Microsoft and Apple.
