Animation Books
Any suggestions for good “intro” books to graphic/web design, Photoshop, illustrator and flash?
I’m looking for some really kind of beginner books on how to really use and implement Adobe photoshop, illustrator and flash. I would love some tips on good web design books, animation books, graphic design books and film editing books. I would just like some beginner guides I can use and study from so I can start implementing ideas of mine into more tangible pieces.
You can go to your local library or store or an online store like Amazon.com to find many books, DVDs, software, and etc. for learning many things
The “In Easy Steps” books are a good introduction to computer skills and programming

If you are interested in learning how to use Adobe software like Flash, Photoshop and etc. then you really should contact Adobe.com to see what tutorials, forums, and etc. they have for learning these software
For example Adobe.dougwinnie.com has many video tutorials for learning Actionscript
http://www.adobe.dougwinnie.com/actionscript-11/
Also you can use the search engine Google.com to find free tutorials, software, forums and other information
For example if you use Google.com and you type in “Actionscript tutorial” or “Actionscript forum” then you will find many tutorials and forums for learning about Actionscript
Good luck and I hope this will help!
