However, you will find plenty of information that will help build your knowledge. A couple of examples would be: http://graphicdesign.about.com/od/graphicdesignbasics/Graphic_Design_Basics.htm http://www.graphic-design-employment.com/ If you use a book like Jim Krause's Design Basics Index as a course guide, you should be able to fill any gaps in your knowledge from sites like the two above. It's more time consuming and you'll have to piece the information together yourself, but that's the price you pay.
