Thanks, mraya, but I'm looking for sites which give good design advice, effective layouts, use of colour typography etc. The psychology of layout design would be a real bonus, too...

I just ran a Google search (that wasn't very creative, so i hope this sites to be new for you), but most of the results where from educational programs or books.

Thanks, I like the last link.

I'm a graphic designer by trade, but I'm looking to further my resource-pool; I will be designing magazine layouts soon and I'm brushing up on good/modern practice. There are some good books on Amazon retailing at £50+ and I don't have that kind of money spare at the moment (and this industry pays well?)

I'm looking for tried-and-tested sites as there are thousands at the end of a Google search!
