For both beginner and old designer I recommend Non-designers Design book. She teaches people not only the basics of good design but how it should be used effectively.

Another resource I would recommend:
All Graphic Design

Good idea for a thread. Any others who have suggestions for links or books can go here. Ill pin it.

Remember that we have rules about spam. If you find a good link with helpful information about graphics and graphics design, post them here. If you just want to drive traffic to your site, don't bother. All links will be checked.

Good-Tutorials - http://good-tutorials.com (one of the, if not the, best photoshop tutorial sites)
Pixel 2 Life - http://pixel2life.com (Great tutorial site for programs from Photoshop to Flash to even 3D Rendering)
PSD Protocol - http://psdprotocol.com (Great Pre-Cut Images Site, possibly the best! Pre-Cut = backgrounds are removed.)

Some books I've read that rock:

Layout Workbook
Design Elements: A Graphic Style Manual
Making And Breaking the Grid
Typography Workbook

As a Graphic Design student, I almost live by the Layout and Typography Workbooks. They have hundreds of examples and tips and tricks for layout, etc. Very informative and some of the images are very inspiring.

The sites I have used for research, tutorials and ideas:

Pixel2Life
SnowDrip
555Design

All three have excellent tutorials and very easy to understand. I can't remember which one, but one of them offers some brilliant downloadable PDF's concerning anything from Photoshop intro's, through filter-use and even a tutorial on setting up a professional portfolio.

For designers who use tablets (Wacom specifically), this is a useful link for tips, tricks and tutorials:
Wacom

Then just a few sites with Adobe Illustrator tuts and some random stuff:
TotalTutorial
Ndesign-studio
GoMediaZine!
HuntFor
