    depends on who you work for...

    ... and doesn't depend on where you live. ;)

    If you apply for this job - you better understand how to design to the pixel and understand that there are multiple resolutions / devices out there that your 'shit' must work on...

    ... so if you're just a print dork - please don't bother unless you've taken the time to understand pixels / resolution / multiple applications / devices etc...

    ... else you're not an interactive A.D... you're just another print fag.

    :D :D

    • ... most 'print' designers get scared w/the 'dev' side of interactive - I wish 'ya'll' would loosen up some and 'try'. ;)PonyBoy
    • very true - its something that I NEED to learn... (Have you SEEN the KROP job-board?)
      Where should I start?
      identity
    • best place to start - do something for yourself... because you're going to bury yourself in anything that is yoursPonyBoy
    • or... take on a small project for a small biz that needs pro-bono help... something you can attack and not be worried about failing onPonyBoy
    • no doubt - I was wondering, as far a development languages go - what i should start with? Im moderately good with CSS...identity
    • learn Object Oriented Programming (O.O.P.) concepts - you should be able to jump around from therePonyBoy
    • actionscript or javascript... or php etc... once you understand the concept of 'classes' and 'objects'... you're dangerous :)PonyBoy
    • nice thanks! last question - any industry-standard book on any of that? something that will take a NOOB like me to functional?identity
    • Start with a Colin Moock Actionscript book :)
