The Young Designer’s Guide

How many Web sites are geared towards the budding young designer? Beside the soon to be or newly graduated, who else needs as much help and guidance? Just because we get a degree in a subject does not mean we know everything (and many people will remind you of this fact.) Do not despair! That is why the Young Designer’s Guide is here! (I promise no more rhyming. I just couldn’t resist.) I attended a highly acclaimed art college with many exceptional professors, but I thank my lucky stars for the two internships experiences I had while I was in school, which helped me to be build my portfolio, and increase my experience and business knowledge. However, even after these internships there were still a lot of things I was nervous about or had no clue I needed to know. Many art colleges develop talented designers, but most often do not offer classes specifically tailored towards the business end of design. I had to learn the business of design through a series of trials and errors along with some helpful pushes in the right direction from friends and colleagues. I genuinely hope this site helps you navigate your entry into the design world. Tell everyone! Submit ideas, articles, resources. Your input is imperative.
