Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a site that can provide a base for a beginner graphic designer… what should be in a portfolio. and provide websites for the top/well known/impressive graphic designers. or a forum/message board that is dedicated to graphic design.

Thanks,

Try to buy a good software like photoshop and play with it.
