    You can buy some tutorials. Learn Dreamweaver CS3 from Lynda.com is a good starting point.

    You need to learn at least these softwares:
    Photoshop
    Dreamweaver
    Corel draw/Illustrator
    Flash
    And the main thing is your interest and hard work try your own creativity, create new designs and learn as much as you can.
    Also keep an eye in market needs as your knowledge and talent should be updated.
    BEST OF LUCK :)

    All you have to do is.. just be free and allow your brain to pop out. :). there is nothing really strict in design.. All you need to make it neat and clean :)

    I read many web designers blogs and I found that most of those successful web designers are people who are IN LOVE with web designing and all creative process along with it. So you better ask yourself before starting : do you really love web design? Because it needs a lot of energy and time in mastering web design.

    Thanks for the URLs!

    web-fanatic is right, tuts is a must to read.
    The best knowledge you can get is the one you get from books (and the internet), not from the universities.

    Thought some of the things are much easier and faster to get when you have teachers.

    It all depends how much persistence you have.

    Start coding my hand using a text editor (Notepad++, PSPad, etc).
    Start with a blank page, and learn really basic things like how to make a link, how to display an image etc...
    Take it slowly. You won't learn how to write HTML overnight, or even in a week. But if you go slowly enough, what you do learn will stick with you :)

    And never use a WYSIWYG editor. Never ever!

    This is how I learn:

    First I study HTML codes from website.
    Change something in the codes and see how it changes.
    Visit w3schools.com to learn more.

    Then study CSS codes from website.
    Repeat the steps above.

    For photoshop, I followed some tutorials and learn the basics from there.
    Just spend more time, play around with it.

    Good luck.
