design books & magazines
During my time design I have come across a few books and magazines that I like to use or subscribe to. These are personal favorites.

Adobe’s Classroom in a Book
These are fantastic books for beginners and every day use. They don’t really get to in depth when it comes to using all the Adobe programs but they are a nice reference book.

magazines
Layers
Layers is everything Adobe and great for anyone. Yeah you can find a lot of tutorials online when it comes to all Adobe software but it’s nice to have around when you are just relaxing or nowhere near a computer.
Photoshop Creative Collection
This is a really nice magazine from the UK filled with tons of tutorials and useful information. Every year they come out with the Photoshop Creative Collection. This collection is made up of the best tutorials form the past year issues.
