PHOTOGRAPHY
Street photography is an aspect of photography I find really interesting but its most definitely not for the faint hearted, going into the street capturing moments, cultures, landscape and people isnt always an easy task, most especially when you are pointing your camera in peoples faces, most people find it rude and unpleasant. I stumbled on these two books from Thomas Leuthard available online, you can download for free.
Its an eye opener and a manual for anyone interested in street photography, it covers a number of topics like planning, equipment, composition, camera settings, ethics, the law, copyright and many more.

It also cover typography, print production, environmental design, conventional and new media. It's indeed an encyclopedia for the profession. Download Graphic Design Referenced here,



BROADCAST / MOTION DESIGN
I can't help but point you in the direction of the guy that really helped me as a young motion designer and effect artist, his site (videocopilot.net) covers Aftereffect the way no other tutorial site can. He is Andrew Kramer. For starters you might want to take a look at his basic tutorials, its a great start point for young motion artists who find Aftereffects a little daunting.
