Where I’m at… Where I’m going.
Almost 10 years ago now, I was in high school on what was at the time, the hottest thing since sliced bread — “migente.com”. This website was a product of the social media gurus, Community Connect. At the time when this site swept the nation with “MySpace/Facebook” force strength, I was already a commercial art student. A little rusty, but eager to be the best. I knew photoshop 5 pretty well… I’d become kindof a whiz at photo manipulation with the countless hours that I spent hiding acne from my pictures with the clone tool. When I learned of this new site, which was ALL THE RAGE, I decided to try my hand at it making a custom profile using this weird HTML language. I’ll tell you what, I was pleased as punch when I designed my first website…complete with all too many <hr>, <strike>, and <center> tags. Figuring out how to layout the whole site with tables was the natural next step and the rest is history.
This afternoon, I’ve decided that my thoughts and ideas, especially as they relate to web design would or could be of some worth to some young up and coming developer. I want to discuss all of the trials and milestones of a developer… and how I got past it. Hope it helps.
