How to be a good web designer?

A good Web Designer must first be an excellent visual designer with a solid understanding of design principles and elements such as color theory, unity, user experience, and typography. You should also master a few of the most popular graphics software programs like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Beyond that, you should have a solid grasp of how websites work, the limits of coding, and best practices. A good Web Designer does not just create beautiful mockups and wireframes in isolation and pass them to a developer to code. Many Web Designers are now called upon to do work in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and even if your job doesn’t including any coding, knowing these languages will help inform your designs.
