I took my first classes in web design back in 1999. I graduated college a year and a half earlier with a B.F.A in printmaking and painting. I became interested in web design because it was a fairly new and exciting field, and there was a possibility that it would lead to a decent job. I’ve now worked in the field for almost twelve years. The purpose of this post is to explain the field and my thoughts on positioning for the future.

2012 will be better
This is a web design blog that I should have and wanted to start two years ago. I hope to share useful information concerning web design and web standards with those in the field or just interested in it. I’ve worked in web design for over ten years now, obviously because I like doing it. My first post will be a bit off track, though. It’s almost a new year that I’m greatly looking forward to. The reason I look forward to 2012 is that the last two years weren’t so good to me. They weren’t good to me due to some negative people and events that caused me to feel that my adulthood had been taken away. By this I mean that, all of a sudden, my problems were that of someone in their late teens or early twenties.
