Yo, I'm trying to learn a bit about graphic design and so i'm trying to learn a bit about flash and illustrator. anyone got any handy tips? any sites or tutorials which are really useful? any books that i simply must get? or you can just link to some inspiring examples if you like.

I also use photoshop and quark xpress. I'm a fairly advanced photoshop user when it comes to editing photos but are there other things it can do on the graphic design front that perhaps i'm not aware of? any tips for quark? is indesign better?

there's no real reason for this other than self-development and it'll look better on my cv to be at least partly capable in these packages.
