    How ye!

    Just wondering has any1 here gone into web design straight from college? what kind of level is expected. What level of Flash etc

    Doing a masters in Business which included a nice bit on web-design and database management and its an area im really intrested in. Designed a website for a course project (done entirely using css layouts) and currently designing a website that includes a shop front supported by Mysql database and PHP


    Been a regular reader of the web-design mag and some of the stuff in there is seriously impressive- its kind of depressing at the same time.

    Basically just wondering what level is expected (example of sample work people did before getting industry experince would be much appreaciated!)

    Thanks

    As with all IT specialties, you are only as good as your past experience and judging by your post you have a nice rounded past with regard to front-end design (CSS), programming (php scripting) and perstance (MySQL).

    With this in mind, you can really head off in the front end direction (purely visual) or into programming.

    Keep getting better, improve your skills where you can, develop and design more. Add value to yourself and your skillset and I dont see why over time, you cant make a nice career in IT.

    As for the levels expected, the details listed as requirements in job specs tend to be wish-lists of the company and *mostly* not a real indication of what they require as a base level. Aim a little bit higher than you think you can, you might be lucky and that way you wont ever 'settle' for something. Just be realistic but don't let people tell you how experienced you are!

    Hope this helps
