    You should read online photoshop tutorials sites, follow their techniques and understand how they are doing it.

    Slowly you will gain knowledge and new ideas will start coming to your mind :)

    One really good way to become good imho is to become a member of a gfx community. For example gfxskool. They got tons of tutorials on various topics and techniques. Some sites also have mentoring programs in which you will be taught by experienced gfx:ers. I was in such a program and it really was great and helped me alot.

    Linda dot com tutorials are a good resources for a beginner. You must get a good knowledge in photoshop and illustrator to be a good designer.

    I think you should first find the definition of "Graphic design". Personally I don't believe in tutorials or whatsoever, learn by actions.
    Of course one can watch some tutorial to learn how to handle software.

    My advise: don't "search" for graphic design online. Find it on the streets. Read books (not eBooks), hold things in your hands, in the real world.

    As I said in another topic, within graphic design there are two different type of persons, the ones that are creative and the ones that know how to work with Adobe.

    Focus and learn, open up your mind, find inspiration. Personally I believe in creativity, I'm an atheïst when it comes to software.

    Sincerely,

    DNH

    use gimp, it's better for beginners, and it's free
    find some tutorials, and take action, you will learn much faster by trying, than by reading only

    Well! Its not about leanring how to use the tools, there are various online resources available for it to learn tools like photoshop and its usage on Graphic. But what need to be developed is Creativity and it will come with practice, Learn a little try more , and keep doing this step .

    All the best

    I learn't everything I know from YouTube. There are some great tutorials on there.

    Lynda.com are good for some tutorials but not so good for others. In all honesty...

    ...I learn't by "biting the bullet" making loads of mistakes...and then searching YouTube for the fix.

    That's the way I learn't.

    Hope this helps somewhat.
