From Zero to Super Website Designer in 2 Steps

uhhm, ofc they can learn to design; i started off at 10 making the worst pieces of crap ever, they had functionality but looked like shit.
wasn't till 16/17 that i got remotely decent at design lol; it really just takes practice and trying new things.

you can definitely learn it, for example, most UK programmers who learn how to design in the UK, ALL DESIGN THE SAME WAY!
it's soooo bland like their culture lol, but you can't deny their stuff looks good.

 

WTF are you smoking dude ,an architect just creates the plan he designs the building , then the structural engineer transforms it into a viable building plan that get's chopped up and sent on site .

To become a architect you need years of graphics , sculpture , painting and architecture(building only art and structural engineering basics) .

 

Those options which you have mentioned (w3school and youtube) is really great. Usually if I faced any problem at that time I was taking help of youtube. Its clips are very helpful and cleared all my doubts. This is help for new learners. No doubt one can be super designer if he or she followed w3school and youtube throughly.

 

This is tips for designing.

 

How does realizing a design not help with creative processes?




I don't understand what all the cynicism going around here is all about.

 

Nice one Sarah couldn't have said it better myself . One thing that i would like to add is that besides talent to do virtual design you also need to be very conformable with the programs you need to use . When i 1st started i thought Photoshop is the begin all end all , only to see that it is highly limited and i need to use a lot more tools to get the job done the way i want it .

 

Thanks for sharing! I also learn PHP and CSS from nothing. And I find this website developphp.com/ really very useful.

 

Ah thank you. The irony of many of the posts on here is that I was saying, with my method one would be ahead of 90% of the "crap" designers on the web, that everyone is so mad at.

Also, people assume that 70% [i'll be generous and say this is what they're assuming, although it sounds like they believe 90%] of "artists" go to art school / design school.

Let me say this, as an example. I have always been able to "dance". I have felt the music. And, I had won contests in school growing up, in dance. When I got to college and joined a dance company, they tought me ballet, among other things. For all the perception that ballet is fru fru, or whatever, the reality is, it is technical and not art at all. The very first thing they teach in ballet is that you have 4 quarters that you can divide the body into on each side. The entire system is then based on those quarters. Can ballet look "pretty"? Sure it can. But the more technical you become in ballet, the more amazing you appear. Can ballerinas and ballet masters become choreographers? 90% do not and probably can't. A real technical master can.

Let's apply that to the web design argument everyone has been having. I posted that in 2 simple steps, an idiot can appear to be an amazing web "designer". My two steps are the ballet class of design. Instead of paying $40,000 to make you create your own portfolio, I give you all the technical training you need in my 2 steps. What's the end product? A technical dancer on the web. It's odd, people are trying to compare my steps to someone that pirates photoshop and dreamweaver, since I clearly state the steps are not for the feint of heart.

It is not rocket science to be a web designer. That's why Asia is now taking over and sapping the market by charging $10/hr for craptastic websites. [this is not a racist statement, it is directly relevant to the industry, but it's not here for debate] Meanwhile, people who are wishing they had the tools to be a web designer ARE shoveling out mess, broken pages, illegible and unusable design. I have always been one that if I see something, and I can change it, to make it better, I do it. On many occasions I have been in a bar, and two people are staring at each other, but the guy doesn't have the balls to go over to the girl. I always turn to them and say "oh for the love of god, would you two just get over it and say hi".

Clearly I don't see the resistance people are having with my post. Are they advocating design school to be the be all end all of web design? Who knows? There might be an artist out there, who wishes he had the technical education to be a web designer, but hasn't come across anything worthwhile yet. I give him that.

Oh, and free.

 

It really comes down to form vs function. Web designers want to create a "pretty" site and start with form. Web developers are coming from a place of function. It's possible to have both, but where you start is a big clue as to if you're a developer or designer.

 

Hai thanks for the share..W3schools is really a great place for learning..you can also search youtube for more web designing videos..
