Still tackling the list

Aside

What is it that a front-end designer should know? What skills should they possess? Aside from HTML/CSS, what should they be an expert with? What books are worth studying?

All these questions keep flooding my mind amidst the current server migration I am monitoring. I’m hoping to have a working list by the end of the day. Wish me luck!

Adventures in Front-end Design

I’ve been trying to settle on a program/degree to pursue this coming year and have come up blank. I have no desire to end up in a program that will not strengthen my current skill set or push me in some alternate direction. What’s my solution? Chart my own route.

Before I could dive into my search/books/tutorials/guides. I wanted to find out what is it that a front-end designer should know and to what extent. So that’s where I started.

I opened up Google and searched “things all frond-end designers should know”, “front-end designer job listings”, and started building my list of things to master.

The world of web design is an ever changing world. I will try my best to update myself and stay at the front of the curve. Until that point is reached, this will be my journey to catch up to the rest and practice. If you find questions, good topics to research, or have any additional information along my way, please do not hesitate to message or comment on my postings.

Woke up today in casts of blue
Unheld but stay pretending we’ll get better over time
The bars and chains are old but new
I got away still under you

So please don’t make more promises to me
And please don’t take everything from me
And I will breathe in every word you mean
If you could please promise them to me

Oh oh

Fell on my way to get it through
Collect the days to bend things so it’s better over time
Hung up on all the shades and hues
Always the same still under you

So please don’t make more promises to me
And please don’t take everything from me
And I will breathe in every word you mean
If you could please promise them to me
