DESCRIPTION
Even If Photoshop was created for photo editing, it has always been the preferred tool for web designers. Yet the CSS3 arrival last year might have changed this. Indeed, CSS3's great success is partially due to its many "design related" functions. Since last year, we noticed that more people dare to design directly in the browser instead of using Photoshop. This raises important questions for the future of web design: is the web designer supposed to code ? With CSS3, it seems impossible to stay away from it. But on the other hand, will the front end developper accept to give away this part of his job or will developpers now start to design as well?

« To me a good web designer is a someone that is multidisciplinary
as it doesn't stop with the visual aspect. He or she also take care of the conversion
into actual webpages with a good knowledge of html/css
so they can predict the outcome.
Knowing Javascript is a bonus. »

"Although it's possible to be a web designer, or an art director for the web,
my opinion is that a deeper appreciation of the medium can only be achieved by having an understanding of code,
even it's relatively basic. It's not just about knowing what you can create
and what you can't: front-end code is playing an increasingly important role as a design tool, be it for
designing 'in the browser' or adapting designs to suit multiple browser widths."

“ A "web designer" is one that can design a site and get it on the web in the HTML / CSS fashion,
however no ma!er what the medium a good designer can designer for.
As a designer, we should be familiar with design rules and principles no ma!er the medium,
but that doesn't mean we need to learn how to code or code well. ”

web design evolves everyday
We are talking about CSS3 but what about Responsive Web Design ?
mercredi, 1 février 12
my answer
1. If not done yet, learn how to use HTML/CSS
2. You cannot stop the web. It evolves everyday. We learn everyday. Try to adapt.
3. Use Photoshop for visual elements, quick wireframes. Then move to the browser.
The more you will practice, the more you will start to use the browser earlier
