- Web Designers are people who have to solve a client's communication problem and brand their identity in a web-specific way. A web designer’s main function is to organize information, shape identities, and create memorable experiences that entertain while also communicating.
- To be a web designer, you have to know how to use code as well as coding programs and the more types of code and programs a designer knows how to use, the better. There are many things that a web designer’s job entails but the major ones are the knowledge of coding, how to create graphics, knowledge of the different types and styles of sites, how to create visually appealing sites and also to keep up on the site itself.

Raechelle Ripley - Web Designer
The Web Designer
A web designer is an experienced person who is hired by a client to communicate a message, brand, company, or identity to the public. The duties of a web designer include forming a layout with the client that meets the needs of the client; creating an interesting appearance for the web page through the use of colors, typography and graphics; making sure that the web page or site has flowing and intuitive navigation. It isn't uncommon for the duties of the web designer to be similar to that of an Multimedia Programmer or a Web Architect.
If you are looking to become a web designer it is important to know of the education, knowledge, experience and personal skills required. Useful personal skill are such as enjoying computers and browsing web pages, flexibility, the ability to work under pressure and strong verbal communication skills. Most web designers tend to have a background in graphic design, fine arts, publishing or computer science. The educational requirements for this kind of career vary seeing how what is most important is your past work experience and hands on training. Some web designers have a four year college degree, some have two, some took only a few specialized classes and others have no advanced schooling at all. It is necessary for a web designer to have experience or knowledge in using design software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Flash. Usually other members of a web developing team will cover other areas of web development, but a good web designer would be practiced in knowing details about different web browsers, operating systems and programming languages.
The outlook on this career is very positive. The demand for this skill is plentiful and the skills of a web designer are most marketable. The challenge is learning all you need to get started and keeping up to date from then on.

Gina Russo- Digital Media
I always thought of graphic designers to be people who make pretty pictures for lots of money. Though, I was just trying to be a nut about it. It’s a lot deeper than that to me. A graphic designer is a person or a group of people that comes together to meet a clients’ needs for something needed design-wise that is for a company label, overall layouts (such as magazines, newspapers, and other publications.) Since I am a terrible drawer, I really enjoy the fact that not all of the drawings done for a client is done by hand, a lot can be done by computer! Even if a drawing was done by hand, the computer could enhance the picture. It’s also more than just drawing, there’s having to pick the color and texture of paper, ink for the printing, what colors are involved in the picture itself, text, etc. Almost like planning your wedding on a piece of paper, except no one get’s married in the end and the final product leaves with another.
Qualifications for having a job in graphic design include the factor of being able to comprehend with illustrating software such as: Adobe. Before sending in a resume, a graphic designer must at least have a bachelor's degree. With time’s changing, graphic designers must also be able to keep up with the changing of new software and becoming adaptable. They should also be good problem solvers, communicators, and good at staying up late because there will definitely be stress!
I agree that it would be better to work in groups when it comes to designing rather than working alone. Better than having all the pressure on one person, and having to come up with ideas.
