Great Dane Graphics has good books about Illustrator, Photoshop, and Corel Draw. Scott Fresener also has a series of vids. Mitch Different has a very good Photoshop book, though it's going to seem pretty deep if you're just starting out...

I would trust the UltraSeps Video from Steve over YouTube ones. At least to start out.

So moving forward what would you recommend or who do you recommend to learn how to do better graphic design on illustrator and Photoshop? Any online learning specifically for screen printing graphic design, or institutions?

After starting my biz with Corel, I took a couple of classes at the local community college, one for Photoshop, one for Illustrator. Even though it wasn't specific to printing, learning my way around those programs was one of the best moves I've made. (Bonus: I got the student discount when I bought them.) These were summer classes, so I jammed them out in a matter of a few weeks. (Lotta late nights, but I got it out of the way.) I actually did a customer order in Illustrator & also turned it in for an assignment before the class was done - that's how fast I was able to put it to use, and then never stopped. And that experience has made online tutorials pretty easy to understand.
If you plan on doing any original design, and don't have a design background, for the love of all things aesthetically pleasing, get a couple of good reference books on design principles. Nice, hoity-toity, upscale design books. Something to get you grounded in what makes design look good & why. Even if you don't read them cover to cover, get the ideas down, and get familiar with what good "design" looks like. This will also help you communicate with good professional designers, too. Some customers will never care about anything more than Arial Bold, their phone number, and clip art of a tractor, and they won't notice that the color choices make it unreadable from 10 feet away. But many customers will be impressed if you can offer intelligent suggestions to improve the look of the product they're paying good money for!
