SUPPLEMENTAL DESIGN LESSONS...FREE

In addition to the superb education students get in an organized college setting, there are plenty of supplemental sites that offer additional direction (even 'lessons') in visual communications (Graphic Design). Some are pay sites, some are sample sites, and some are totally free.

While the depth and breadth of the sites may not be inline with a traditional classroom, they are great resources for students. You won't necessarily be able to raise your hand and get help, but what you get in return is a superb reference for some of the basics (many applied specifically to the web).

I will also note that not everything is totally in line with what I hold to be applicable to type and design, but  it is nice to have!
