A New Project I'm Working On.
Having mastered the web comic trade like no other I've recently been working on a project involving a blog and continuous learning exercises. Basically it's for graphic designers like me who have some web knowledge but want to learn everything hardcore. I'm going to be documenting my process. It's not a tutorial, per se, but a mish-mash of information (including tutorials and links to tutorials) to help everyone who wants to learn web design learn that subject with clarity, ease, inspiration and accuracy. I might also do a graphic design tutorial on things like Illustrator. Photoshop and Illustrator are huge programs that have basic functionality people need to know about when they're using it for actual projects. There's also a lot of stuff you really don't need to know about, especially when they're in there specifically for certain professions. Functional teaching, I guess you could say.
So if I buy a book on CSS and it sucks I'll be able to write up about it, why to avoid it and what they could have done better, and perhaps give an alternative to read instead. So instead of going through Amazon and reading a crappy review (out of context of learning a subject) everything will be connected in one continuous effort. I'll also be able to place that book in the Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced ranges for the audience. I'll also be interviewing notorious web designers to get their feedback and advice for everyone out there.
I'm a pretty good graphic designer, but I really want to learn the online realm more and it will help that I have experience webmastering on my old gaming site WrestlingGames.com (#1 wrestling game site on the internet including IGN and GameInformer circa 1999 - 2001). But I'm talking about hardcore CSS, PHP and MySQL.
Hopefully in the end it will end up helping people out, and keeping me motivated in my goals (because I'll have an audience to answer to).
Anyway I designed the logo so far (and the basic layout) for the website blog. Check it out. I'm hoping there's some interest for people to learn this stuff so we can keep it going along. So far I've gotten positive feedback about it but TNL is usually more open and honest.
