Long days
Today…was a long day.
I spent probably 3 hours bouncing around between drawing and screwing around with html trying to do a mock-up for JUST THE LANDING PAGE. All I have to say is holy f*cking sh*t. Being less than proficient at both makes getting anything in the design realm done such a pain. So today I’ve made a pact with myself. I’m really going to jump head first into web design.
I might spend fifty to one hundred hours getting where I want with my web design skills. But in the long run, I’m going to save one thousand hours that are lost due to my #bigfail web design skills.
HTML and CSS aren’t really the problem. It’s photoshop. And learning how to integrate my HTML and CSS with the photoshop. Does anyone that does web design have any tips or tools they use that increase their productivity? Anyone use any great teaching tools that they would recommend? Open to any and all suggestions.
–EDIT–
Lol 50 to 100 hours to get pretty good at web design. Off by an order…or a magnitude? Probably a few of both #sadface.
DUDE … unless you want to make “design” your profession … dont waste your time with trying to get good at photoshop.
invest in a designer … via crowdspring.com or other like sites, where you present your idea and vision, and people submit their concepts with you … and you communicate back to the community while they build iteration after iteration of design concepts, making it SOOO much better than you can do yourself. All for a flat fee price, which you award to the “winner” of the contest. Much better than spending 50 hours on it yourself.
