The equipment you will need as a graphic designer is first a some form of hardware. this could be either pen/pencils for jotting down ideas or for most graphic designers some type of computer. commonly the computer used is a mac computer since it runs most of the programs that graphic designers use. Along with this an important tool is some sort of software this could range from design-based like Adobe Illustrator and Freehand to layout programs such as QuarkX press and Adobe InDesign

web page designer

In this blog post I will being going over what is done and what is needed to become a web page designer. the first aspect of this job to cover is what a web page designer does. the job itself is pretty self explanatory since its in the name. as a web page designer you’re hired by people to designer a web page for them. This could be for a start up business or a larger company’s depending on how know you are for design.

To first become a web page designer you usually need a bachelors degree in either computer science, communications or business, or have completed a collage program in computes and web design. along with learning how to use the different software, its also important to get real work experience in web page designing. at the start in your career it is likely that website design positions that involve more technical expertise may require a higher education. wail you are learning web page design it is possible to take some starter level jobs as an intern to gain experiences.

The equipment you will commonly need as a web page designer is first of all of course a computer. it is normally a good idea to have a computer that can possesses large files both quickly and efficiently. along with a computer a second good tool to have is back up hard drive or a USB stick. these are needed so that if something happens to the web page you working on, you have a back up you can use. Thirdly you should have some form of website creation software like Adobe Dreamweaver or Microsoft Front Page installed on your compute so you can design said web pages.

The average salary for a web page designer in Canada is $47,054 per year or $24.13 per hour. When first starting out as one the salary start at $29,025 per year but if you have a lot of experience in web page design you could make up to $79,992 per year. The accessibility for a web designer in Canada is a bit of a mixed bag. on one hand Canada is a highly devolved country meaning there are a lot of jobs you could get in designing web pages for different business. But on the other hand company’s normally don’t just hire any web page designer, only the best ones so there is a lot of competition with in the industry.

Although being a technology based job it is still possible to harm your self when doing this job. One way you could harm yourself is having bad posture, specifically if you stay hunch over your computer constantly and don’t sit up strait it is very possible to harm you back in a serious way. a second way you could harm your self is staring at you computer screen too long. doing this constantly can actually start to damage you eyes to the point were you will need to get some form of eye correction.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
