One of the best design tutorials I've come across (it certainly is the most FUN) can be found at:
Even if you don't want to read the tutorial (which is a lot of FUN to read as well as being informative) you should check out this site! He has an awesome talent, both for web-design and writing.
His designs are beautiful - his wit is razor sharp - his writing style is enjoyable. I've spent hours on this site, and keep on going back to see what he's going to get up to next. Highly recommended!!
