I started in web design about 8 years ago when I came out of uni. My friends were getting into flash 4 and I'd never seen anything like it. I gravitated towards what they were doing. 2. For me, it's flexibility. Being able to do more than one thing, so not pigeon holing yourself. There are many people out there who are masters of loads of skillsets and you need to be able to pick up, dive in, and understand a whole gamut of technicalities and programs. 3. You can be self taught. My degree tried to put some design for the web onto me but by the time I'd graduated it had become obsolete. keep reading and doing and you'll get better. 4. Fixed width - my favourite because I can control it. I don't like the problems associated with fluid. 5. CSS, HTML, AJAX, Flash, Photoshop and Illustrator. That will get you 90% of the way. 6. Learn the basics well. Don't copy and paste code without understanding what it does. use the Pen tool!!! 1. I started in web design about 8 years ago when I came out of uni.
