While planning my upcoming trip to FlashForward in Seattle, I noticed their sponsor Lynda.com and was impressed by what they offer. Often confronted with the challenge of learning new technologies or new staff hires that aren’t familiar with OS or software applications we use in the studio, we buy giant books and taking part time classes. It can be such a tedious approach, so sites like Lynda.com are an efficient and easy way to learn at your own pace. Their mission is to help media designers and communicators understand how to use professional tools and design to enhance visual communication through web, print, and motion graphics. With powerful online tutorials that you can buy as a one time fee, monthly or annual premium subscriptions, the site is flexible and easy to use. Next time I have a young designer ask me how to do something in InDesign, I’m going to refer them to this great site.
