Having noticed that most of the web design jobs around in Birmingham (UK) require basic Illustrator skills I have decided to start to learn Illustrator. I have wanted to use the program for a while for logo’s etc. However I thought that as my art skill is about 0 I never started to learn.
I am also hoping that I get the next part of my course in the next week, then I can start to learn Javascript… and Perl. I do wish it wasn’t Perl and was PHP.
I will be putting my ‘Illustrations’ online when I have some for some criticism.
If you have visited this blog before then you will notice I have added a new site to the screenshot area above. This site was created in a pretty short amount of time, although some features still need to be completed the main community side of things are working and been used by members.
I have gotten pretty good feedback about the site, which is always nice. Especially as I don’t usually like my designs and end up changing them within a few weeks. This one I feel as if its suitable for the site and works well for what the site aims to be.
I have been taking a break to work on this site, and now its semi finished I will be getting back to the Aggregator plugin. I am also actively seeking a full time job focusing on XHTML + CSS. Whether I find a job and actually get one is another matter.
I will try and update this blog more frequently, but if work needs to be done it will take priority.
