Transition from web graphics to print

[webstudent123]

Hey all, I would currently consider myself a good graphic artist for web design, but am seeing a lot of job offers in my area for print design graphic work- Currently I only use photoshop and would like to learn more about illustrator and inDesign-

Any suggestiosn on good beginner tutorials..?

Hi,

Here I found some tutorials in the net. Hope these can help.

Lynda.com is also a very valuable resource, they offer tutorials for a reasonable monthly fee ($25/month).

If you're familliar with Photoshop you'll ease into Illustrator and Indesign

For a career move into print publishing you MUST learn Quark Xpress which will be a departure.

Quark and ID are layout programs. There are pro's and con's for using both so let's not get into a "which program is superior" argument...

I'm not going to tell you that you MUST learn either program. I would suggest learning an illustration and layout program. Which ones you choose to learn depends on the job(s) of course.
