dude, good luck on it...
but i was serious about designers not helping each other...there is a long history of designers not giving away anything or putting up with people who cannot perform...
if someone helps you out, they are rare
read about design
appreciate design
pick a focus (typography, motion, web, etc) and make sure your are at least really good at one if not two of those...
as far as specifics, to learn to use an application requires you to use it...i'm sorry, but all the books about illy won't tell you how to do a cd cover...only experience and mistakes will add up to anything
look at the Alki1 link over there to the left and if you don't get excited, maybe you should rethink all this
actually, try to emulate some of those works in illy for practice using the app
if you can emulate someone, at least you have the skills to create...
then all you need are the ideas!
(which is the part you cannot learn, but must experience)
try to design using every experience of your life as a catalogue of material to draw from
or again, the weed/acid may do it...
