Ideeas and opinions

Hey to you all. Guys I need some help finding out some good and very useful sites about design. By this I mean websites that contains one of these 3 things:
- theory/examples about fonts, typography
-basic theory on colors/color schemes/ color wheel/ how to use them/ when/ why etc
-some sutff about using hsapes when designing stuff
If you have any good info about this stuff or any good websites that have nice structured info please help me out.
I have found a few but they weren't very good and not much info
Thank you for your time!

id recomend hitting up your local bookstore, typically there is a section all about what youre looking for.. and books more often than not are well written with explanations and theory for all types of design.

sorry i dont have any websites to contribute but i think the bookstore would hold alot of good info, and you can just browse all the books, dont even have to buy them.

good luck

or if you are lucky and you have a torrent downloading program(such as Azureus) you might find on some torrent search engines you can find a lot of e-books for download.

Azureus is lame... use utorrent it's far more secure and not banned from a lot of private tracker.

But yeah checke torrents, libraries and book stores and see if that helps.

Personally I find it's best to just learn on your own. Once you know what all the tools are for and what they do it makes things a lot easier.
