Do you know/have Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator?

I got a subscription to "Creative Cloud" so yes, I have all the Adobe software :)

Do you know how to use them?

I have only been using Photoshop, and i'm learning Illustrator through TeamTreeHouse.

You should get "Classroom In A Book", for Illustrator, (or Photoshop if you have only learned it through Treehouse). The books are made by Adobe and gives you a brief lesson on each tool.

I would recomend 100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People. Also, check out A Book Apart. You won't be able to use your gift card for those, but every one of their books are great.

Just buy loads of Skittles and M&M's and mix them up in a bowl. Go MENTAL!!!

Or you could just buy a book :/

I would have mentioned a book apart but it seems cheaper to buy right from them when compared with Amazon.
