Our readers have requested that Smashing Magazine conduct an interview with industry leaders on issues that are relevant to students and those just starting off in their design career. With the help of our panel of 16 designers, we’ll dispense advice that should help new designers get their career off to a promising start.

In my opinion, anyone who is starting out in web design needs to take time to learn CSS. The problem with learning isn’t that there aren’t resources on the subject, but rather that there are thousands of resources out there, and no way to tell which ones are up to date and valid.  So I [...]

I posted the following as a reply to Ken Royal’s post, “Digital Readers Make Education Sense” today:

Our second Woo Worker Interview is with a freelancer the other side of the pond of another Woo Worker who we interviewed last week (Josh of Cubicle Ninjas).
Tell us a little about yourself, your design / development skills and how this translates to your (freelancing) business.
I’m Kirstin, a 25 year old full living on the [...]

At the size of 48×48, Twitter avatars definitely have more rooms for creativity compared to a 16×16 website favicon. Having a nicely designed Twitter avatar is fairly important, especially when it comes to profile branding and attracting new followers.
