By all means go for it, but you really have to go for it! I don't know how old you are but you'd probably be working under people younger than you as well for a fair few years. That's something to consider too. It's not what you know, but who you know... Knowing someone can help a lot too...

Erm, stick to your job! It's extremely hard to get anywhere, even an unpaid placement. Plus even as an intern you'll be expected to have a wide range of program knowledge. You have people in their late teens who know all the programs and will design for fun. They're important factors, I mean...

The first post sounds like a questionnaire? It's very hard and very competitive tbh. You'll need a high level of program knowledge and a strong portfolio to stand a chance. Luck can also play it's part, it's who you know.

Ah yes much better. I hope I find no sarcasm in this thanks lol.

I want an individual mention seeing as you used about 3 of my points lol :p iJoke.

I'd suggest an intro from the about page to be before (or above) the first portfolio image. Also making the images links to the 'view more' section. As much as I like elements that are different, I think that a normal vertical style page scrolling would be better. Just because it's not working...

Had a 2:30am play around with it, as you do. Bed now.

Wow it's hard to add to what Soren has said lol. But Google ads on your site is a no no. Plus one mistake I noticed was the amount of pages allowed in the advanced package, it just has 'Up to pages'. I haven't scanned much else on the site. This post could be a wast of finger effort if you...

Russell and Ross are spot on. It's a flooded and very competitive area, with even unpaid work hard to get. I'd keep your job and see what you can learn around it. If it is a real passion, and I mean passion, then that will help drive you on. But I'd look around for competitions and see what...

Ah hilarious and brilliant! :D I love how you almost have a video for everything.

I created another similar thread to this about whether design is respected but it frustrates me how design is treated. The latest example of this is a guy creating his own business and doesn't like the logos that the company designing his website have come up with. So what does he do? Go on a...

Learn CSS? That sounds easier said than done. Any tips of where to start? Apart from breaking my site. Also can you answer the WP questions?

Good idea, thanks.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a work exchange basis? By that I mean if someone can help me code/develop my site in exchange for me doing them design work. A bit of a long shot perhaps but I thought I'd put it out there.

I am wondering which is the best way to go. I had someone helping me with my site who suggested using Wordpress and helped me install it and my site is now a WP site. Unfortunately that person has now pretty much disappeared leaving me in some sort of website limbo and I'm unsure of what to do...
