I would like to spend some time (probably around a year or two) learning graphic design at home. I was looking at a website I found in Goolge (online school), and they cover the following topics (offer courses):

Color theory
Typography I
Drawing I
Photoshop I
English composition

Design and composition
Logo design I
Illustrator I
Digital photography I
Computer technology I
HTML and CSS I
Typography II
History of art
General psychology

Indesign I
Graphic design I
Intro to marketing
The study of graphic design
Business and technical writing

Dreamweaver I
Print production
Branding and identity
Logo design II

Layout design
Packaging design
Graphic design II
Design business
Capstone project
Portfolio review

I would like to go through something like that, but with books from somewhere like Amazon.com, and other sources online. Can you recommend some good / professional sources / wesbites / books to get started with learning graphic design?

(I am not totally new to this, I've been making websites for a while now. I know HTML, CSS, Photoshop; I am thinking more about things like color theory <I read about it several times too, things like colorschemedesigner.com etc>, typography, drawing, design and composition, logo design, history of art, graphic design, layout design)


Thank you.
