Creative Learning and Inspiration

I've been doing some online training via Lynda.com, a great digital resource for learning creative software tools. I'm focusing on Flash, Photoshop and Illustrator which are tools that I've worked with for many years. However, watching online videos of top-notch professionals is teaching me tons of new tricks. In addition, Lynda has a library of inspirational videos. I definitely recommend checking out these mini-documentaries of creative professionals. It is really inspiring to see the stories of artists, photographers, musicians and designers who've been successful in the creative industry. Note: I have a subscription to this site, but there is a ton of content available to non-members. I especially enjoyed looking "into the life and home studio of one of the entertainment industry's most sought-after motion graphics designers, Rick Morris." Also, don't forget to "take a ride in the Big Spaceship with this intimate look at the inner workings of one of the web's most innovative firms."
