A Thought on Web Design

Web design is often thought of as a skill. You're good at web design. You're learning how to do web design. I think we should take a different approach.Web design is not a skill; it's a profession that requires a certain skill set.

What type of skills are required for web design?

  • An understanding of typographic principles,
  • an ability to synthesize information into visual representation,
  • clear communication,
  • etc.

There's more of course, those were just my off-the-cuff notes.
