bahaha, i dunno yet! web design and graphics is up there for me, but i heard its a pretty tight market, not alot of jobs?

[AXTX]

hmm, not too sure about the job, bets to make a portfolio (a few play around websites and show off what you got )

Im not very good at my job tho, only self taught and did it from yr 9 to 12...

but its fun! you should enjoy it! and if you get days like today (slow day) you can watch movies (Anchorman for me atm) lol

[Damo_R34]

thats worth putting in if you want to do webdesign. understanding HTML and XML and all the various standards is pretty much mandatory. Even better if you can get into Ruby On Rails, Perl, Php, SQL and the like... best to do some research and speak to a few people in different professions to find out what u want to do. Webdesign can vary from picture manipulation, to doing backend programming on large databases -very very different roles but come under the same banner.

SQL would come in handy with my current job, could write our own reports for the database instead of contacting Melbourne to get them done!

any of these worth doing? http://www.seeklearning.com.au/short-cours...phic-design.asp

Next week i should be attempting some XAML code, doubt it will go well... but we do need a new media player, and the ones ive seen look very nice!

theres alot of programs that make databasing easy (connecting it to your website etcetc)

my problem is, web standards.. stupid IE..

Don't know. are you any good with graphics manipulation already? Most short courses only teach you basic photoshop stuff, to be a decent web based graphical designer you'd be wanting to do at least a years worth of training - possibly at uni aswell...

Speak to some webdesigners first and go from there... SQL is programming, Graphic Design is as far away from programming as you can get. It all depends on your mindset, and whether or not you would enjoy either.

[Damo_R34]

id rather be in the graphic design part i think.

[AXTX]

see what you like by doing tutorials first... or go sit in a uni lecture or soemthing lol ;D

just give it a shot in your own free time, you dont have much to loose. :]
