Designing My Future Intro

The purpose of this project is for me to explore careers I would like to pursue in the future after I finish college.

I went into classes at Clark knowing that I wanted to do something with computers and technology. Websites have always interested me; what they look like and the interactions you can make with them. So when I saw the Web Design and Development program here at Clark, I immediately began taking the classes I needed for it.

But as I began taking classes in design and classes in programming, I found that while I like both, I was drawn more to the graphic design aspect outside of class. Whether I am any good at graphic design is another story. But I began to wonder which of the two would lead me to a career that I'd be passionate about for years to come. Then I started to wonder what the difference between Graphic Design and Web Design and Development was.

This project is an exploration into Graphic Design and Web Design and Development. I hope by the end of it to have explored all the different aspects of each and reach a conclusion about which I should pursue. Do I continue with specific design and development of web sites, or do I switch to being a more general graphic designer, bypassing the back end coding of things?
