Want to be a web designer? heres my first sites.

cheesy - same age as me started - if your looking to enter contests i think the best advice is start on here then move to 99 designs - but be the most aggressive b*tch you can be - push the contest holder and push them more - make your work show before their eyes over and over and over - your out to make money no one else matters if someone makes a change to their design improve yours and resubmit over and over until you win!

 

You got skills, man. Have you tried making templates for popular scripts like vbulletin or joomla?
Lots of people are looking for skin designers.

 

Hey, I', same age as you atm

- I started 3 years ago

 

gordon08 - i dont know programming so its a little hard - i tried using artisteer but it seems it doesnt support joomla 1.5 - well the version i got it dont else i would go into that - i was planning on making a load of plr joomla templates but without a peice of software to do the programming cant get very far.

 

Beautiful work nice designs.
I suggest you to continue web designing out standing i realy like it.
thanX for shareing.

 

Very very nice, I love the Resident Evil layout, It reminds me of doing web design way back then. Very nice bro.

Wow very nice work you have there!

 

Hey your works amazing! I'm also just a Web Designer, but I wish I had good coding skills then I could've made more money... but still Designing is better than coding, right?!

How old were you when you started? I was about ... 11 - 12ish ... been designing for 3 years I'm 15 now coming 16 soon!, I'm still learning new ways to improve and hopefully I'll learn more complex coding... .

 

thank you - i started when i was 15 - im 23 now - so 7 years of practise - yep programming is my next step i can do design and marketing just need programming under my belt - but before i do that im going to eat this lovely bacon egg and sausage bauguette lol

 

sweet, ill be sure to take a look at that site soon my portfolio will be up soon :O just getting a friend to code it.

Your work is really inspiring, and if i can achieve what yo have in the next couple of years, i will be extremely happy

 

well i wish you luck - now i look up at the people who made this site http://www.nostale.co.uk/main/media - i want to be at level within 1 - 2 years hence why im taking up 3d modelling

 

Although Neil's designs aren't really to my personal taste (as i've told him before ) the standard has certainly improved since he first came onto DP and obviously from 7 years ago as well. It doesn't really take much to improve once you begin looking at the world around you and at other examples all over the web. You don't have to copy them, just get influence from them. At the end of the day, it might take a bit of your time to improve to the standard where you'll win lucrative clients but you will certainly get there and reap the rewards if you are willing to put the work in. Myself and Neil have, you can too

 

That's a very beutiful and artisit website! I know you can do it! I always find doing stuff like that hard >_<

 

hey davey :-p - yep everyones views are different - one person like a design another hates it - you have to be thick skinned -- shame coolwanz aint still here - he used to annoy me which was good so it kept pushing me

 

Haha did he? How? Wonder where he is nowadays!

 

because he kept winning!! lol im pretty much fed up of contests on DP they are going lower and lower 99 designs all the way. -- em well he got this site http://www.coolwanz.com/ --

 

Yeah 11 from 31 for me now, although I should have won at least 20! haha!

 

- i dont know how many i won because alot of them i just took the work outside of 99 designs then got repeat work - my contests entered is well high - i kept entering logo comps lol i hate logo design does my head in dont know why i did that must of entered like 160 logo contests on there - im mad - ah well when i might just set up an online business and market it to the top

 

Yeah getting extra work from contest holders is one of the reasons I enter them in the first place. I only ever enter them when my actual client work is completed - would be a fool to do work that MIGHT pay when you have guaranteed high-paying work sat there waiting. Yeah I noticed your entered contests number was quite high, was surprised ya had the time!
