So you want to be a web designer

webkidjulie: someone in my internet class asked me if web design was an easy field to get into
Liz41533: oh, sure...
webkidjulie: I told her that if she had an art background, programming experience, some knowledge of marketing and business and a degree, it's easy to get in
webkidjulie: that is if you want to do it right
Liz41533: LOL
webkidjulie: seriously, I told her that the industry is saturated with people who just know the software to build sites, FP, Dreamweaver, GoLive, etc. But the real challenge is knowing how to make a functional site that's attractive, easy to use, and goes along with the intended purpose of the business or individual
webkidjulie: if you can do that, then you're really a web designer
webkidjulie: more web nazi rhetoric
Liz41533: :)
webkidjulie: if it weren't offensive, I'd want a tshirt that says, "web nazi"
Liz41533: LOL
Liz41533: sounds like you go around persecuting *people* in chat rooms or something
webkidjulie: yeah, really
