Another video you guys make like: Desaraeveit . com/blog/Agency-Couture/2010/07/youtube-how-to-build-your-first-web-design-portfolio/
@nowaynohow26 html/css and anything after that you have to decide who you want to program for. As a designer you either design or program, just know your boundaries and how to talk to a programmer
Or more into graphic design, I know my designs are good, and I have great people skills. I think at this point in my life I am ready to do freelance designs, but I have no idea where to start. Any help would be appreciated. My portfolio is behance . net / jacob williamson (without spaces)
@cngaedk yep I’ll work on that. My portfolio sites for reference: desaraeveit . com dveit . com and agencycouture . com another thought is to use behance, flickr, or a facebook business page like facebook . com/agencycouture
@TheMrPushups will do when I get a chance. I’m currently in Ohio to speak on personal branding but I’ll get back to these videos asap. I’m glad people like them.
@blindsmiletv I have lots of videos: youtube dot com/desaraev6
@flipmodeOptimus yep.. that is what happens when you use a light straight on your face.. I’m a graphic designer not a videographer
@ac120479 you are very welcome
@nowaynohow26 if your a designer, none just find a programmer. Otherwise helpful languages: ajax, java, java script, ruby on rails, xhtml/CSS, php5. You can build most sites on just html/css + php + java script. Cooler stuff goes deeper and may include .NET, C++, flash, share point, and others. Learn wordpress too and how to build CMS sites.
What kind of programming languages must I know? Other than HTML of course.
I was watching your eyes!!
You are cute
Useful video
great information here, thanks
A good watch!
thank you so much. helped me alot.
nice
Do you think you can do a short video on online portfolios for graphic designers? What to include, and what to do to make it more of a business website rather then just a portfolio? Thanks, this was a great video.
Very helpful video. I have a similar video on my channel called Free Web Design Tools. I’d appreciate it if fellow web designers check out this video and possibly give feedback if it’s helpful. My tutorial covers web design tools such as html color codes, w3schools, and firebug.
Oh man that was helpful! Thank god I found this treasure chest of information today!
shes shiny
what a babe!, i wouldnt mind designing a website with her lol thanks for the video darling
Very good video. Thanks for sharing…
Thx alot, really good info, make more!!!
Wow, you know about all of the tools! You might also suggest using WordPress as it’s such a simple free way to make a website for you or a client, let alone the countless free great looking templates you can apply. Check out mine at ZeitgeistGameReview . com. All of that was totally free, all I had to do was modify some CSS and PHP to customize my look, and then upload some custom graphics!
This is exactly the type of information I’ve been after! Thank you for posting, now I just need to cross my fingers that I’m not the only one looking to see how they all work together for a smooth operation! Keep ‘em coming, you’ve got a new fan!
anyone more interested in graphic design should go to the follow website with many tutorials and help on creating professional designs.

fuck man who in the fuck chose the soundtrack !
Great video; but I think the message focused more on the science of graphic design and not enough on the creative art that graphic design is to me (and others)–which is partially ironic because the video itself is very creative. To me, graphic design is a marriage of creative art and technology to communicate ideas effectively.
#LOL What a ridiculous way of explaining what Graphic Design is. I’m a Graphic Designer and I co-own a Graphic Design Agency, and I literally fell asleep to this.
@vonspawn youre forgetting the BIGGEST thing we copy ideas from…..Stumble.com
lol
Yeah, I get where you are going but what about instant inspiration and out of the box conjuring of imagination straight off? Good work fella but at the heart of design is art, don’t concentrate on the science too much or things will get stale… Mick Jagger can’t sing but the stones are ace and always will be…get me? Don’t take this as disrespect, just my point of view…
Thanks thats didnt help at all
or something plain like my chan
it’s too hard graphic design?
This is what i want to be when i grow up <3
Hi! I’m looking for graphic designers or people with knowledge in publicity images, I need some questions to be answered as soon as possible. If you are not a candidate but you know somene, please ask them to help me out. Questions are on my channel, a comment with the answers and complete name is ok. THANK YOU!
this is random i know but i really think that the answer to this question is easy: Jack Moose is graphic design/design/illustration/visual arts and film, what else do you need?
that makes me not want to do graphic design
thnks
Very nice, thank you
This was really good! I’m doing a school project on Graphic Designers and I was wondering if I could use your video as a visual. Of course I will give you credit for your video, I just wanted to show it to my class to help enhance my project. So would it be okay?
Do not assume it doesn’t work before you even tried.
Great video! Please check out my logos!
good
You forgot the computer (MAC or PC) and the graphic design books we use to copy design ideas from.
pretty kool :]
Very nice job! That was unbelievable…great job…very well done.
