Take a look at local colleges or universities. Several in my area have courses that cover web design and more like illustration and print media, while others have computer science courses in PHP, Javascript, and other languages. Use counselors and advisors to your advantage to make sure you...

Yes, I'm pretty sure it will scale to your content. But honestly try it out, it would only take a few seconds.

Juxtapoz is usually ever looked at it? There was also a japanese art one that sounds like you would like, I will ask my professor tomorrow as to what it was called. I know here in Canada we have an Applied Arts magazine that is terrific, the last issue showcased all award winning student works,

So you're saying learn PHP first? What are the pros and cons of this, are there any similarities between the two languages that im going to benefit from PHP first? PHP seems like a bigger, tougher language to learn which is why I was thinking of learning JS first.

Agree with others, also on your portfolio page I believe its a jquery slider but I'm not sure how to navigate through slides? Maybe its because i'm using chrome?

Looks nice, and code looks alright but what is the reason for internal CSS on your index?

Hi guys I'm looking to expand my skillset with the help of Lynda.com and I would like your comments on which would be better to learn first, with the idea in mind that both will be learned eventually. I'd like to hear what you guys have to say, and why? PHP or Javascript?

I realise this is OT, but there is nothing wrong with Floyd. My buddy is even going to Van to see Roger Waters play The Wall live..im so jealous.

Jim, thanks for the in-depth comments I'll reconsider what I've got there and take it all into account :) I will be updating this with a more-finished copy soon. More shading/coloring is on the way, this was a simple 3 hour rough idea.

Thanks. I plan on going back and working on coloring and a few of the lines with my tablet, which was not available when I was doing this rough sketch/idea

Thats something I thought of, but when I uploaded the picture to facebook the colors are the same as photoshop. Maybe imageshack has something to do with it? Regardless, any comments on the actual piece itself?

So one of my school projects was doing CD Cover Art. I chose Kanye Wests new album, which tells of his story and how is famous-ness has transformed him into a monster. I also looked into a re-occuring theme of his albums and chose his teddy bear mascot as inspiration of his monstrosity. The lime...

I use twitter super-frequently not so much to attract business directly, but to socialize/work with other designers and others in the industry for help and information, as well as to keep contacts that may result in job opportunities down the line. As for Facebook, I keep that strictly...

I am going to guess that you are talking about a proof you could show to a client? Many clients would be able to view it online, if you send them a jpeg/pdf in their email they will be able to view it, just make sure to watermark it to prevent theft. If you need to show them a physical copy, I'm...
