Becoming a Web Designer

Learn the principles and best practices of web design

Creating websites requires a myriad of skills that are best learned in a classroom setting. It’s possible to land a great job as a self-taught web designer, but completing a college degree program arms a future designer with a comprehensive set of foundational skills they’ll need on a daily basis.

Learn design techniques and theories

This is an ongoing skill set that should evolve over the course of a career since design preferences and styles continually change. Much can be learned in college, but motivated designers should seek additional instruction, reading and insight into the principles of aesthetics, layout, emphasis, contrast and creating a unified user experience.

Earn web design industry certifications

Although not mandatory for a successful career, earning key industry certifications can help designers greatly improve their career prospects. Certifications demonstrate a high degree of proficiency and competency in crucial areas of the industry, such as design, e-commerce, site development and administration. Certification also provides employers with a benchmark of a candidate’s skills.

Build a personal brand

This isn’t something that can be mastered in college. Successful web designers have a strong portfolio of past projects they can show to potential employers. They also have a strong network of colleagues and business associates that they can tap for freelance projects, job opportunities, education and collaboration. Rookie web designers can build their brand by joining industry organizations, attending relevant conferences and networking events, and by striving for a high degree of personal excellence in their projects that will garner the respect of their peers and employers.

Fastest way to learn Graphic Design

Graphic design is something that marketers can always benefit from learning, even without a formal education. In those cases, we enter a world of do-it-yourself education, with repeated recommendations like, “learn Photoshop, Illustrator, and In Design,” or, “read a book about basic design principles.” And as much as those help, learning fundamentals, navigating new tools, and developing a personal style make for a tricky balancing act.

Tips for Learning Graphic Design

1) Always keep an ear to the ground.

As marketers, we already know how much there is to learn from influencers. After all, 49% of folks trust the people they know above anyone else for product or service recommendations, and in the digital age

2) Collect inspirational work.

Once you decide to learn design, start building a catalog of work you think is successful. That can be as simple as bookmarking images in your web browser, making a Pinterest board, or saving items to a folder on your computer. Like a list of influencers, a catalog of inspiring work will help you to identify trends — both past and present — in design as you begin to recognize patterns in the work of others. You’ll also start to understand your own personal style preferences and interests.

3) Dissect the process.

One of the most pivotal moments in my design journey was when I recognized that every single illustration, infographic, and icon I had ever ogled over was the product of someone mastering how to combine shapes and lines. That’s not to say that other factors don’t play a role — just wait until you try and learn meshes in Illustrator — but fundamentally, these designs were built up from simple shapes.

5 Web Design And Web Development Tips You Need To Learn Now.

Web design

Web designers have a difficult role which is often underrated. In their designs they need to integrate the best user experience possible, and create a welcoming environment for the user. They have to change an idea from writing, into a usable design and interface that catches the user’s attention. A website cannot be described as great if a proper design strategy wasn’t applied into the early stages of the project.

These are some of the main roles of a web designer:

  • Using software tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Framer, or Sketch to build the final layout design of the website.
  • Have good skills in graphic design and logo design.
  • Web designers need to keep themselves up to date with the latest design trends. It’s also important to keep design consistency that is made popular from other web giant companies.
  • Web designers have to also keep in mind the branding of the website, colour palettes to be used, and the typography and readability of the website.

Web development

Web developers uses web languages and software tools to develop the design and functionality of a website. Web developers are further split into two sub-categories; front-end developers, and back-end developers. I see front-end developers as the connection between both web designers and back-end developers, as having a little knowledge of both, would allow a front-end developer to build a fully working website.

Here are some of the main roles of a web developer:

  • Building the actual interface through which a user interacts with the website.
  • Front-end developers provide the markup design to back-end developers, so they can implement a dynamic website, and submit all the required data on the server and databases.
  • Back-end developers create the backbone of the website using languages such as PHP and MySQL.
