Primitive Shaun's been meaning to post this stuff up for a while but always gets distracted or runs out of time. You may know already, but if you don't know I'm going to tell you now anyway, I've been teaching myself web design for the past three years or so and since starting at LCAD I've been working towards getting my own little web designers set up.

I've learned a phenomenal amount since starting here, not particularly from the course although I have gained some priceless experience and knowledge from the modules we've covered. No, although I would have liked to spent more time concentrating on the design and web technologies I've had to learn a ton of stuff about how to run a company, devising pricing, process flows, documentation, accounting, legalities, client handling, marketing, copy writing etc. etc. I'm not even going to mention some of the other random subjects I've covered on a personal level!

I've most definitely broadened my horizons, rekindled some long lost hobbies, interests and passions and also found a few new ones. I've had a battle and a half working out the best way to harness my peculiar mind, developing some unusual yet functional processes. My ongoing war against time and all that it stands for has had some improvements but I doubt I'll ever come to terms with the whole time thing, I just don't believe in it or agree with it.

In terms of web design, like many things the best way to lean and overcome issues is to do. I've built numerous sites sine I began but mainly for myself and as experiments. Last year I did a couple for friends and experience is certainly the best way of improving skills and building confidence.

My priority at the moment is to get a good portfolio and some case studies together, refining my work flow process and then building a decent version of my site.

I've included images of my sites so far, I'll tell you a little about them but not now. When your old enough.
