How do I get started in graphics design side of web design?

Here is the web designing tutorials. http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/40-greatest-web-interface-design-tutorials-photoshop-tutorial/ http://www.pegaweb.com/ http://www.webdevtuts.net/ http://www.webdesign.org/photoshop/tutorials/page-1.html http://sixrevisions.com/photoshop/25-photoshop-tutorials-for-web-designers/ http://www.webdevtuts.net/coding/css/blue-print-layout-converting-a-psd-to-html-tutorial/

Ever since I started learning web design & development what I find most effective for learning is looking at other web sites. In looking at other web sites it is advisable to look at examples of both good and bad design, just so you're aware of the difference. Learning by example is, for me, the best way to learn because you really see how design concepts and ideas are applied. When you finally have an idea on the look and feel that you want to apply to your web site then you can start researching on the technicalities of creating them (e.g. Google 'how to paint shop pro web 2.0-style buttons' or 'how to photoshop gradient web buttons'). It's really up to you on which tool you want to use because it depends on what you're comfortable with using. An upside of using Photoshop, I think, is that there are a lot of tutorials that you can just Google for online. I recommend going to http://www.alistapart.com/ for guides, articles & tutorials on web design.

believing that knowing how to use photoshop is enough to tell people you can design websites is wrong. Tools can definitely make the difference but that doesn't replace a person's real talent and skill that gives the design a unique edge. my 2 cents.

You can follow the approch like create a template using Photoshop or Gimph. If you are creating a site for client create a 2-3 templates with different layouts and show them to client. If they are good and approved, create a HTML templates for those and after that embed server side. After a practice can design a better site.
