Hi everyone. I’m a graphic designer and have been working as one for the last 6 years. I’m always looking to get better and I’m currently looking for a course that I can take to improve my skills. I’m not looking for anything cheap and nasty, a good quality course that will teach me new...

Hi Everyone, Just a quick one to see what other people are doing. I am currently looking for a way to improve our website contact forms. We use a form to mail script which includes a really long PHP script file, it can be really temperamental and there must be a simpler/easier way to handle...

Hi All, I am looking at streamlining the way I build websites. I want to be able to include my navigation code in a separate HTML file and then pull it in to all the pages on the website. Just so if I want to update the nav I don't have to search and replace every page on the site I can just...

Happy new year everyone! Just a quick one, does anyone use Shopify for eCommerce stores? And if you do do you have products with multiple customisation options (Colour, Size, Quantity, Additional options)? We currently use an app that is an absolute ball ache for adding new products with...

Hi, Just a quick one to see what everyone thinks. My job title is currently a Junior Graphic Designer and I have been for the past few years. Over the last 10 months or so I have been learning how to code and I have now took on the responsibilities of the Front-end Web Developer after him...

Yeah I think that's the sort of thing I'm after. Where I am still able to do both design and development. I would like to work under a experienced senior if I went down the Web Development route. I currently work with a Front End Web Developer with 6 years experience but I haven't really had a...

Hi Paul, Yeah I think I did meet you the year before last! Small world. The training I have been doing on Front-End Development started with the basics of HTML CSS, then progressed to learn more in-depth HTML and CSS. I then learned the basics in Terminal and Git (very confusing at times). I...

Haha good shout! Don’t know how to fix a broken loo but at least I’ll have a nice brand

I didnt mean to put 'Design Portfolio's' as the subject. Oops!

Hi Everyone, I'm a Junior Graphic Designer currently based in Leigh with 3 Years experience. I have been at the same company for the past 3 years and it seems my time here might be coming to an end unfortunatly. I am thinking about my next steps now, I have loved every minuite of design since...
