First steps into a new world...

[wpeters]

After realising the other day that outside of the games industry I'm only qualified to flip burgers I've decided to start trying to expand my skill set a tad, beginning with some web design. Hell, I'm never going to be an MySQL, PHP or Java programmer but I can do the graphics, Flash and HTML and with a bit of CSS, DHTML, XHTML and Javascript

If you're serious about web design, I can get the job descriptions of our web artists to you, as a reference for skills base. :)

As far as I can tell, the main skills needed are photoshop, Illustrator, Flash (graphics, not code, in creating .fla files and .swf). You'll need to build up a portfolio of designs and layouts too, obviously.

Anyway, if I can help in any way, drop me a mail on initial dot surname at ntlworld dot com.

Cheers, mate - that job description sounds really useful. The folio is underway as we speak. I'm doing some websites for friends - plus I'll probably overhaul my own as I learn some CSS and Javascript.

I'll probably take you up on those ex-Sony outsource contacts too but it's a bit early just yet.

Thanks again and I'll be sure to drop you a line if I think you can help.

I've never met someone, I think, who rate R.A.Salvatore's literary production particularly high. Admittedly I think I've only read excerpts from his work, but I have read Ed Greenwood and compared to that I guess Salvatore is passable.
