    Not sure if you mean "learn design" or "learn the tools used in design"?

    If the latter, Lynda is great. If the former, I don't think you can learn "design" by watching videos.

    • There's a lot that you could learn from videos actually. You still need practice and critique but you could get some of the fundamental knowledge that way.jtb26
    • Which isn't to say that those videos exist–I have no idea. But in theory you could teach basic typesetting in a video.jtb26
    • What you learn from these videos is how to use the tools. The Art of Looking Sideways will teach you more about design than all of lynda.comMrT
    • the best way to learn design was talking design, going through critiques from professionals, and discussing "why" or "why not" something is working/good.monospaced
    • that's why school is good, it has nothing to do with software, and everything to do with theory, which is the foundation of design.monospaced
