After years being away from the Design industry, here I am.
Getting back has being a surprise each day. So many things changed in 10 years! Yes… ten years that, for personal reasons, I had to stand back for a while. But it passed fast… and thankfully I am getting back on track.
I am old school on Web. And back then I used to focus mostly on the front-end of my websites. How I loved to design the pages on Photoshop, slice them up and just add some content and links on my HTML.
But things changed and beyond other things websites had to be less heavy to load, semantically correct and easier to change things up.
So here I am learning the new ways to design a website… using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.
My first week was very exciting. I chose the Web design, Development and Maintenance program at Humber College to help me upgrade my skills so I can build up a nice Portfolio and get back to work as a Web-designer.
We already learned some HTML5 and CSS3 basics. I also had a quick tutorial on how to use Adobe Bridge CC and started a blog using WordPress (yes, this blog).
I hope to make this blog interesting and useful for new web-designers, specially my Humber classmates.
Feel free to comment with your insights and feedback 🙂

I’m also pretty old school when it comes to the web – I’ve been working on websites since 1995! But this programme has made me realize how outdated some of them are, so I’ll be doing alot of cleanup over the next few months.

You just gave me a great idea. I will also work on my old html files to make them “html5 acceptable ” 🙂
Ps.: you won at the Web-design Old School quiz :p

Indeed! My passion for Web and my goal to succeed as a Web-designer has always being with me.
Of course there were those days where thoughts like “Can I still do this?” or “What I know is almost useless to build a website these days… will I be able to learn the new ways of things?” came to my mind here and there…
But, through this Humber program, I want to prove to myself I can follow my dreams and stick to my goal =)

Great post Gisele! I’m glad to hear that you’ve already learned so much in your first week of the program. I look forward to being a part of your journey as you become a web designer/developer.
