To Be A Web Designer

Scott was a reviewer at the AIGA Portfolio Day last Saturday. He said that a few people asked him what companies are looking for in a web designer. He chose this description as one that explains the needs well and paraphrased it as "strong design, some technical, user experience and enthusiasm to do something big."
