para + gramme:
any suggestion for web-retarded print designers on how to "get it"?
gramme, did you teach yourself or find a genius?

(Jul 26 06, 09:33)First of all, I haven't worked with Flash in over 4 years, so any web design I do is purely front-end these days. Eventually I'd like to learn code, but it's not a huge priority for me right now.
I learned a lot of things the hard way when designing my site. The first developper I hired sucked, he turned my Illu files into utter shite.
_fate came along and saved me on that one. He's pretty handy with Flash.
Trial and error seems to be the onyl way to learn what looks good for the web.
Whenever I'm designing a site in Illustrator, I take a screen grab of my browser and paste my artwork into the window at 100%. Look at it in different screen resolutions. It's a simple exercise that helps me tremendously to see where the problems are in my design. I'll also export jpegs and upload them to help me know what to tweak.
Now when you get into motion and user experience, it's a whole nuther ball game...
hopefully that helps?
