Email from freeservers:
The last time you went to a fast-food restaurant, didn’t they ask you if you wanted to supersize your meal? Now we feel like getting into the act and asking you if you want to supersize your Web site. Well… don’t you want to supersize your Web site?
Just think of all you could now do with more Web space and bigger file sizes:
Add high-quality, streaming videos – With up to 100 MB of Web space…
Share digital photos – Now that you’ve got that slick new digital camera…
Create graphics-intensive Flash & Shockwave sites…
I get confused when fast food gets compared to slow sites.

Today I have learned more than usual about web design. Next goal is creating liquid pages. Then my sites won’t be so damn small-looking on the large monitors.
Over the past year I have been turning more and more towards web design than illustration. It started out with switching to the Design program from the Illustration program one semester before graduation. I feared the freelance life. So I got into print design, and then into web design in hopes of landing a full-time gig. It’s been a while, but I’m still learning. Still learning how to interview with enthusiasm. Still learning how to prepare for working on a team. Still learning how to communicate with others who seem to know more about it than I do. I am teaching myself, with help from online tutorials and I am getting better at it steadily. And doing less illustration.
I am not making much money doing web work OR illustration, so it doesn’t matter yet. But it will soon.
