Hey TH folks! 1st time on the Forum.
I am looking for some resources and best practices to help me design better user interfaces for web and mobile applications using Photoshop and/or Illustrator. Dribble helps as far as inspiration, but I'm looking for some detailed information. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it!

Another is . . . (http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/07/26/android-design-tips) - which is mobile design practises for Android.
