Design Basics
Looking for a good self-study Web Designer course. I’d like to learn not only Photoshop but basics of design?
Please give me your recommendations of steps to become a good Web Designer. There should some either online tutorials or books or video. I’d like to understand
1. color mixing schemes – which colors will look better with each other.
2. Software(photoshop, …)
3. Where to look for latest trends in web design
4. any other suggestions ….
Thanks a lot!
I’d suggest learning Adobe Dreamweaver and Photoshop, as well as basic HTML. As you pointed out, it’s just as important to learn good web design, and not just web design. There are plenty of articles and tutorials on good design. One site in particular I recommend is
http://www.websitesthatsuck.com/
This is an informative and entertaining site that teaches good design by showing sites that do the wrong things. There are plenty of articles on there about which things are good and bad and why.
