 So um yeah  Group: Official Designer Posts: 745 Joined: Aug 2006 Member No: 459,873  |
 I've been reading a lot about the moderators and I'm overly amazed...I was thinking I was talking to people my age (21) or older... With web design classes and degrees... But no. Lo and behold, the average age is like 17?!? It's amazing how young & talented & mature most of the people here are!! |

I am constantly blown away by various designs here on cB and then blown away some more (there's not much left of me by the end of one viewing session) when I find out how old/young the designer is. I think the great thing about it is their fresh perspective and take on old styles and looks; they just see things completely different from us 'old' designers.
It's a tricky balance: youth vs. experience and it's a balance a lot of sectors have to try and negotiate. It's cool to have such a mix here though because the learning process is reciprocal; the older designs can offer tips learned from experience and the younger ones offer their different, quirky designs which inspire everyone. I'm 21 this year and wouldn't even begin to claim my layouts were good (hah, I think I've submitted like, two to the Myspace showcase) but I like to think having looked at and been interested in graphic design for the last, five or six years, I am better at spotting what works and what doesn't (though unfortunately, that doesn't mean I'm any good at replicating the effect) |
