Anyone else self-study here?
I used to think that I could pursue GD and learning Photoshop/illustrator in my own time by creating personal projects.
But I've come to realise that It's like working in an echo-chamber, I don't really get any better at the basic fundamentals and I'm lacking in understanding a lot of the features that various Adobe Software offer.
What do you guys do? What online resources are best, I've heard a lot about Lynda- any specific courses I should be looking at?
Thanks
I'm self-study bud. Splitting it up into
1) Adobe software
2) GD Theory + Fundamentals
3) Making projects
I just pirated all the Lynda courses for Illustrator and am working my way through them. Then I'll do Ps, then Id, then see if Lynda has anything for GD Theory.

That sounds like a good approach.
Where did you pirate the Lynda courses? Is there a specific 'package' of tutorials that you got?
I'm personally tempted to go back to university and do a degree (I'm 26) feel like it's now or never, but I've been told by people that that might be a waste of time.

No shame in going formal with your studies my man. It's an investment and will be thorough and structured. If I don't make it in a few months, I'm going to sign up to Shillington.

Maybe take a few courses at a community college. You learn a hell of a lot more from interaction with people then you may think.
