Hellow, Before I ask the question, just wondering if there are some serious designers here. With serious I mean designers who can make a good living by doing it. thnx
This is a big webmaster forum littered with designers, many of whom are professionals and offer a service, if they make a living off it, I doubt they'd be telling anybody.
Hi thnx for the answer. I do know that other sections like marketing, google, ... are well crowded with talented people. Since my interest in design as a skill is quite low, I could use some advice from someone experienced in professional projects. I have a great design in my mind, but I am not skilled enough to create it like I would like it to be. Thus I was wondering what is the best way to explain to a designer what I want, quite detailed. What are the main elements I should explain to make this work?
Hmm well personally i'm not speaking from much experience, but if you have the design in mind, but can't create it, then simply get down on paper or document what you have in your mind. So by this you state the basic colours, backgrounds, pictures, and layout..then if possible a drawing alongside this if you can't describe everything in words. Essentialy you need to tell the designer exactly what is in your mind, no matter how detailed the designer will be more pleased the better you can explain it. They can then create it from your description and make your dream a reality hopefully!
Agree with you wd2k6. I think a designer must not estimate a time for a certain design because managing the time affect to the quality of the design. This is my thoughts I don't know whether you people agree.
you are right. A designer must have the capabilty to do following. Then we can him a good designer. The World Wide Web as a medium for communication gives the developer opportunities to create works which have these qualities: * Multi-role: The Web's users can not only be consumers of information, but may be providers as well. * Porous: A web doesn't have only one entry point--any of its pages might serve as the starting point for a user. The user may find that different pages in the web give them the best viewpoint into the information for their needs. Other users may enter a web at a certain page because of a keyword search. The result is that designers can't depend on (nor should they expect) users to follow a particular starting point and path through a web. * Dynamic: The Web is characteristically, notoriously changeable, with new technologies (servers, browsers, network communication) as well as new content being introduced continuously. * Interactive: Web developers need not only "broadcast" information, but they can elicit feedback from users (through electronic mailto links and forms) or provide Web-based threaded discussion boards, or Java-based interactive applications. * Competitive: Because of its distributed characteristic and dynamic qualities, the Web's content developers face extreme
