What do i need to know to become a Graphic designer?

What do I need to know to become a front end web designer?

  • Answer:

    Webdesign can be a lot of fun to learn, however it's very time consuming. Different professionals go different directions... Linux based and Windows Based. Linux is more of CGI, Python, Perl Windows is more ASP, ASP.NET, .NET (which is how I design all my websites.. if it's good enough for companies like Jaguar, it's good enough for me) There is also software. You can learn stuff like FrontPage, Coolpage, LiquidFX, and you can be ridiculed by professionals. Or you can use the industry standard which is Dreamweaver. It's the best, hand's down. Anyone whose been in the business on a professional level will tell you to go with Dreamweaver. You need to know basic photo editing. Fireworks, Photoshop, JASC and Corel, all provide great photoediting software. JASC for it's money ($99) will work just fine for basic web editing. So, from my standpoint if you know the following setup, people will be crawling to you... ASP.NET ASP 3.0 HTML 4.0 CGI / PERL Python Photoshop CS2 Dreamweaver 8

as a trainee web designer i am currently still learning the basics but i find the more "design" programs you become accustomed to the better your chances of getting in as a web designer with a big company but too be honest its not as easy as people think, i have so far learnt frontpage and coolpage which are both at different levels of web designing as coolpage is basic whereas frontpage is more professional, but hey keep it going and hopefully yhou will become a great web designer which if like me is my dream

Learn basic HTML at http://pagetutor.com, then research on CSS. Then learn PHP or ASP and SQL. Afterwards, concentrate on Photoshop and Flash. If you have familiarized yourself with those, you would have a knowledge in graphics, server-side scripting, databases, and design.
