Hi, You might find these websites more useful in terms of substance and practicality. uxmovement.com - Usability articles designshack.co.uk - Well-written articles on design www.alistapart.com - Web design

I guess you'll also be interested in the presentation of information and statistics. I recommend Edward Tufte's books. I second the recommendation of Steve Krug's book, probably one of the most practical and well-written guides.

For typography, I found these articles quite good as an introduction: Basics of Typography http://designshack.co.uk/articles/typography/8-rules-for-cre...

If you have Illustrator, you can design some pretty nice text http://designshack.co.uk/articles/graphics/an-in-depth-guide...

This is a pretty good introduction to some classic fonts: http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/articles/25-classic-font...

Have fun! (I'm also picking up skills to be more well-rounded) Ryan =)
