Core77's Hack-2-School Guide by Ami Kealoha
Core77's outdone themselves again with their online Hack-2-School guide for design students.
Divided into five categories, it's full of need-to-know information tailored to the unique needs and challenges facing students who are likely going to be spending a lot more time with Photoshop than they are with Freud. Advice includes a lot of original content as well as links to other sites, ranging from DIY dorm room build-outs and design resources on the web to tips on pitching websites (including yours truly) and ways to not be obnoxious in a crit.
It's a wealth of tricks and tidbits applicable for new students, old students and those of us who just wish they were students.

Design Police: Visual Enforcement Kit
Like those little stickies that say "Sign Here," the witty Visual Enforcement Kit points out (with excruciating detail) what needs attention, in this case in the world of 2D design. For anyone who's faced more than their share of design that needs help, the downloadable pdfs provide handy pre-printed critiques like, "Severe lack of creativity" and "Kern this!" We particularly like "Hire a copywriter"...
