    My two cents:
    The best way to learn design is by doing it, but there are also plenty of great books out there and education will speed up the process. If you didn't do a degree I would suggest reading up on design history, typography, even art history.
    The internet is not a good place, in general, for design education.

    Part of being a good designer is having the confidence and conviction of your ideas and their visual manifestations.
    Always posting everything you do on this board implies a lack on confidence. You should always be able to back up your ideas with solid reasoning, and not post-rationalised thinking: The idea should dictate your visual solution

    Posting work on QBN is good for gauging people's opinions on things like kerning ie the details that need cleaning up, or even how people interpret the concept, but this place is no place to start and develop a project. You should be doing that based on your own knowledge and experience, and if you don't have that, then as I suggest – get reading.
