Thesis Statement

The report contains information on the benefit and advantages of employing a web designer, its usefulness and making full use of his abilities in work place. Competencies for a Web Designer are being able to work in a team to finish up final products. Web designer must also have a creative imagination to figure out what would be most appealing and interesting to the public. Knowing how to run a program is pretty simple, it is having the design skills to know how to really use it.

Elaina Fleming has worked with clients Disney Online, Warner Bros, Fox Films, and NBC to name a few. She has done anything from websites to games. To work in a team can be the crucial point in a project. Sometimes web designer will come across a person who is called a digital 'jack of all trades,' meaning that this person doesn't specialize in any one kind of skill such as layouts, programming, coding, or animation. It is good to have knowledge in all skills, but it is best to specialize in one while still being familiar with all the others.

I think communication is important to this job because if there is poor communication skills, the entire story will not flow. Focusing on the story is a major asset to completing a good product that people will actually want to see. In my opinion web designers must be able to use their creativity to reach its full potential. Elaina Fleming said that she has seen too many computer projects where by the time web designer finish watching, all web designer can do is shrug and say, "it looked cool, but what the heck was that about?" That clarifies how the cartoon South Park became so accepted. There really isn't anything in that cartoon that makes any sense whatsoever.

In a job like this, web designer have to continue learning because technology and programs continue to change. New things come out and the old ones are taken away. It is best for the future if web designer share what web designer know with someone else who is interested in the same field so that future work will turn out well. They will have knowledge of what made good websites, cartoons, etc. in the past and work to use that on upcoming projects. (Grossetta , Holly , Julie, Gillian, Reardon, Shimp, 2002) I think someone who really wants to be a successful web designer must be able to work with a team, have good communication skills, have a creative imagination, and will continue learning and keeping up with the changing technology. These are the competencies which will make web designer a good flash animator and web designer.
