http://www.mlwebco.com – In this video I talk about the idea of web design being too competitive for anyone to make a career.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Thought I’d record myself designing in Photoshop and then speed it up so you see the action take place in 5 minutes!
Everyone told me the exact same thing, don’t get into it blah blah blah.
After I made the decision to commit and go full time as a freelancer I
landed my first client a week and a half later and I’ve been none stop busy
for the past four months working on projects. There’s more work than I can
keep up with!! Haha
How do you deal with creativity blocks? Many times I don’t feel I’m good
enough, especially when I look at people who are more experienced than I
am.
I think when people say this, a lot of time they are referring to websites
that make “free websites” for businesses, or being able to hire
designers/programmers in other countries for much much less. How do you
reply to those talking about those situations?
Great video mike, thanks for sharing!
Why do you record in your car?
Great insight as usual Mike!
Beautifully stated. It’s like this for a lot of fields.
As long as there is bad design, and there´s lots of it everywhere, that
long there will be a need for good designers.
I’m always cautious of the pain period when picking up a new skill or habit
but I’ve never actually been thankful for it’s putting me ahead. Thanks for
the vid man
You know you’re a true subscriber of Mike Locke when you already know what
the “dip” is from one of his previous videos.
In other words, embrace the grind. When I first started, I barely new
anything. I was using the WYSIWYG editor in Dreamweaver. Today I customize
WordPress themes, do some custom coding, and I’m a SEO guy. I’ve been
interviewed by entrepreneur.com (see article at
http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/228170), and I’ve been told by my leads that
they called me because they were looking for some of the best web designers
in Atlanta. Web design and development definitely is a skill that can’t be
learned overnight.
Great video, Mike!
Great vid. A perspective that is often lost.
Man I am at the bottom of that “dip” but I keep practicing and adding to my
portfolio when I can.. Thanks for the inspiration Mike!
Legendary Mentor drops Legendary Knowlegde on how to succeed. Very true
Mike, people from my college fell off because they hated the coding part of
it or mocking sites up.
“The Dip” I will forever remember that… Thanks Mike!
OMG, in 20 minutes i will have my first web design meeting to work in a
project. I am so nervous :(. But watching this make me ease a little. Thank
you.
this is such a golden nugget.. thank you mike
AWESOME MIKE!
“”Too much work can lead to hair loss.
You are so right with this statement, there is always room for another to
try and either fail or succeed.
Mike, I enjoyed the video, but I don’t feel like it really answered the
question. You basically said that not everyone who tries web design will
stick with it and succeed at it. But how does that help if there’s already
a lot of people who have stuck with it and gotten good at it, hence the
markets become saturated?
hum how do you upload that to the web, with a server? and the html has to
be assign to the individual image links??
A Photoshop Web Design in 5 Minutes … from friend, Adobe’s Paul Trani.
After watching this video, I just want to cry… about all of the stuff I
do not know how to do with Photoshop.
Actually seing this video make me laught !!! My gosh , I was strugling with
templates and designs, and never getting what i want, But you made it soo
easy, and funny … I’m in love , tks a lot !!! defintely +100000
Well, damn. This is why I am a *not* a Web Designer…
I like the tune :)
nice
How do you make those picture frame things around 2:45 (the ones with the
white border)? More specifically the image is only visible inside the white
frame and you can still move it around and stuff. Sorry it’s 3am I might
not be making sense
Very nice man good job
good work
Nice job..A suggestion to speed things up even faster, why not do the
entire layout in Dreamweaver and just do the graphics in Fireworks and
export..Save’s half the time, no slicing needed..Just a thought, because I
used to design like this but now I do 75% of the work in dreamweaver..
It’s Kruger not Kreuger 😛
Page looks quite nice
no Grid?
Could you tell us the size of the document you used? Example: 1800 by 720
молодец!
Awesome work
Very nice
nice tune man 🙂 reminesence
It really sucks
what song?
That was impressive. I finally broke down and bought Photoshop to do
exactly this… but spent about an hour last night trying to figure out how
to fill my ovals =). Baby steps
I am sharing my thoughts : fuck you google + . and your entire essence.
?You didn’t slice for web ?
