In this video I talk about the potential career outlook of a web designer in what I call “The Web Designer’s Journey”. The purpose is to inspire and provide information on what can come about as a Web Designer throughout your career.
In this episode I talk about the required skills needed for becoming a Web Designer. In doing so, I explain the required skills and differences between a Freelance Web Designer, UI Designer and a Web Developer / Front-end Engineer. I get many questions about this subject and many times people confuse the required skills between a UI Designer and a Web Developer (Front-End Engineer). Hopefully I can clear it up a bit with the things I discuss in this podcast.
In this episode I discuss and share my thoughts on both Adobe Fireworks and Photoshop and discuss which one I recommend? I got a question a couple weeks ago from someone asking me which product they should learn when getting started in Web Design. It’s a really good question because both products do essentially the same things and I wanted to take some time to discuss my thoughts on this subject.
