Finding work and how to get going.
For anyone who is a little lost out there when starting their freelance career. I wanted to give some more resources and explain a bit more on freelancing. The Monster List of Freelancing Job Sites is an excellent blog post made by Freelance Switch. Often times, just the existence of a profile/portfolio combination on these job sites will get you noticed. People will start to look for you.
During some blog reading I found some interesting news from adobe.
The development of Adobe Thermo. What Thermo does is allow designers to take designs made on Photoshop and rapidly create a functioning prototype web application/ site before it goes into development. It outputs MXML code ( what Flex applications use). The news is about 3 months old, but I’m sure not everyone has heard of it.
Seeing this makes me wonder where xhtml and css will be years from now. CSS frameworks are one thing, but what if the designer can simply output perfectly good xhtml and css code? Makes me wonder about how the job market will be for front end designers in the next 10- 30 yrs.
