My brother is in the film business and went to school for it. He has Creative Suite 5 & I have been looking in to Photoshop & Dreamweaver to potentially design my own website. I really have no education or experience with either of these programs & have been reading/watching different tutorials for both.
I understand there is a big learning curve with them since professionals use them but I really want to understand how to use them to make some pretty amazing stuff. I feel it's never too late to learn. Does anyone have any advise on a great starting point. Would some great books do (I have the time & drive to teach myself) or is this something I really should look in to taking a class? What books would you recommend or where can I look to find classes?
