Sometimes I envy graphic artists and web designers, they create some nice grunge themes, glassy themes, solid ones with different visions on how content will look, or behave. For me, I do my attempts even when I know I’m going to fail creating a decent web design. I can’t vision like they do, but solve the problems they can’t solve, like how to implement the design (although a lot of designers are getting good at this) in HTML, a Content Management System or create animations with JavaScript to make their design more attracting.
I’ve tried to follow tutorials, but they consume more time than programming problems which is very weird. Maybe because “web designing” is something undeveloped in me that is out of range. It’s something that have become an obsession to obtain, but it comes with a price. I have to decide which one to focus on: Programming? Designing? Both take a good time to craft.
Right now I’m fairly decent, I believe. I also want take on Java and make Android applications where “designing” doesn’t come to play (in graphics terms). And then move to C#, Python and Ruby. There is no decency in my web designing though, it’s from the “scratch”. I do get my visions from time to time, but I can’t say it’s as easy as my programming visions, which if we compare our knowledge. Programming visions seems easier to pull than designing.
