Be an Artist on a Global Scale
Armed with nothing but your creativity and a computer, you can design functional works of art seen and used by people all over the world.
With over a billion people surfing the Internet, websites can get hundreds, thousands or even millions of visits a day. That's serious exposure.
If you are a daring artist looking to put yourself out there, a career in web design may be right for you.
Web Design: An Exciting New Medium
Being a web designer means being at the forefront of technology. Instead of brushes and paint, you work with pixels and pointers.
If you're worried about learning "computer-speak," know that web designing software has changed significantly over the years. "Web software programs now are as easy as using Word or Powerpoint".
"It's not about looking at code. I've used Photoshop for years, and I treat it as a piece of paper." A good web design degree or certification program will give you the software and computer training you need to design cutting-edge web pages.
Finding Your Passion
Web design is a lot more than making pretty pictures on a computer. "You meet interesting people and hear great ideas from individuals wanting a website," says Julie Gau, a professional graphic web designer.
"So many clients wanting different things with different goals in different situations somehow all come to you with a website as the solution to their problems. It's always a challenge, but if you love it, the challenge is all part of the fun."
