I am a Web Designer from Melbourne. Loving the Web more and more.
If you have an ethos that you are proud of, an identity specific to your organization, let’s communicate it to the broadest possible audience through the use of proven Web Standards and Usability.
Always Excited About Design
A little background information on me dates back to the early years studying Graphic Design without computers, back in the 20th century we only used brushes, Rotrings (what?), pencils, white paint.
I am not that old, but the school I attended had a clear focus on computer ‘unaided’ design so they kept the distractions of software and hardware to a minimum, or maybe they blew their budget on moustache gel and couldn’t afford computational machinery.
Back in the mid nineties I switched to Digital Design, some innovations were too hard to resist and the new web publishing paradigm became my obsession, first mailing lists, forums and then blogs. To me shared spaces for communications is a miracle of the new technology and stills humbles me when comparing the communication and interaction advances in the last 20 years.
Enter Web Development
I started and finished one of the first Web Development courses in Melbourne. Three very confusing years of full-time study were most subjects were called “intro to…” and the only chance to progress to intermediate levels was to happily call my free time study time. From intermediate to proficient happens when I call “study time” to the rest of my life, happily.
If the first stage of my professional development had a clear focus, the second, was extremely confusing and uncertain as learning processes go. A few years later and I still dont know of anyone who can point with absolute certainty the direction we are heading in terms of “the future of the web’ or how far it will reach and intertwine in our lives. Will we carry our display of the human network in our visual cortex? maybe.
Something I am sure of is that it will take a lot of passion and dedication to stay up to date with the new developments which will steer the industry in the right direction.
