How/Where did you learn web design

I'm just wondering how and where did you learn web design? Is this your dream job?

 

It´s not my dreamjob..by dream is to not have a job..
However, i learned the hard way, trial and error, alots of hours in front of photoshop and notebook
Later when i could afford to buy dreamweaver things went easier.

But i designs website now and then when im short on funds for other project =)

 

that's cool. dreamweaver makes things easy

 

Hey, i do webdesigns and what i did was doing some tutorials. Not the ones that show you how to add some effects to the text or how to make a fire or ice - thsee are good to find out what photoshop can do , but go to www.psdtuts.com ( for examnple ) and find tutorials like " interface design " Practice , practice and practice...

My not updated portfolio : www.grzegorzkuras.pl - some old ( no time for update

 

jackburd, checkout YouTube for Dreamweaver tutorials, there are some great teachers on their if you look around and they are very in depth tutorials.
Stay Safe

 

I remember is was like 13 or something, and was very inspired by website-design etc. I began reading html, and created simply (now ugly ) designs and just read and read and read. Today I use tuts+ as my learning-source.

 

I was 17 years old back in 97, I got a webtv and and angelfire account to host my "personal home page" and then a few webmonkey tutorials later and yahoo searches for how to do "stuff" got me in the game. Then after that I just found some really good books on related stuff and kept up with the trends.

Now there are good books from sitepoint and apress that I go to. tuts+ is also a good site. smashingmagazine.com is a nice web design blog to follow as well.

 

For me it was at school in my computer science degree. It is not my dream job as I prefer system administration.
But after learning the basics, it was by repeated hours of work that I became fluent in website designing.

 

hahaha, iam lost here
i learn it myself with google

 

i learn web design through reading books and asking the expert. but actually im a software developer.

 

I learned how to use Photoshop from one book. And I just tried and I learnt.

 

Hey! I am also a software developer, but due to immense interest in web technologies I started learning web designing 2 years back.
Since I knew C++, java, .Net .. it was much easier for me to learn javascript and php
A few days back I also started up my coding blog : http://coderscab.in/

I have also added a small CSS3 tutorial there

 

excellent video tutorials are available and they teach you step by step

 

With the Internet providing thousands of educational sources, any person who has the time and desire to learn web design is able to. Blogs are a great source of tips and tricks when it comes to learning web design. I would suggest finding these niche blogs and keeping up with the posts. Forums are a great place to learn as well.

 

I'm no expert but the internet has taught me so much. the whole tutsplus network is awesome for learning, wp tutsplus net tusplus etc. There's so many great web design blogs and learnings resources online.
YouTube is also where you should start searching for tutorials so you can see, hear, and get a better understanding of what your trying to learn.
Books are great too, just pay attention to the year its released.

 

I learned it online and taken help from my friends.

 

Like others I started learning online from sites like w3schools.  Then when I wanted to take it up a notch I undertook an open learning course at College.  But not my dream job, as some1 else said my dream is not too work either  

 

Its now 10 years, I never learnt from any institutes etc, I read many books contacted many web developers and they tought me slowly. The key was hard working and passion, today i can design any thing, yes it was dream job but now you say its time consuming job

 

I learned online and tried it myself.. that's how I learned it!

 

I initially taught myself and the rest I learned from online tutorials and videos
