Hello,
I'm having a bit of an identity crisis.... i have always been in love with art. When i see good art it gives me chills. I started drawing as a young kid and got more and more into illustration as i got older. Once i finished school I went into Graphic design. i have been work in graphic design for the past 4 years. I've always worked in the print media field.
I have been looking for a new job and have noticed that about 75% of the listings are asking for - Photoshop, illustrator, indesign, flash and dreamweaver. I have always received pressure from other graphic designer friends to learn some web. They call me a dinosaur! I took a few night classes for HTML and Flash. I didn't last very long. I'm just not a fan of coding or scripting.
So here's my crisis.... should I push myself more and get into web? and if not, will i be unemployed forever!!! ??? :icon_scared: Should i just concentrate on illustration and design and worry about someone else coding my work?
If i do try getting more involved with web, what would be the best tool for me to learn? Dreamweaver, Flash, Flash catalyst (i know it's not really out yet but i like the 'no actionscript' part of it) or are there some other software out there for someone as code retarded as myself?
anyways, any opinions would be appreciated.
CHEERS
