 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!! |

There's lots of talented people here. You'd be amazed if you browsed the web and seen some of the websites that 12 year olds can put together.

Well, it does seem that kids are getting smarter these days. I discovered an interest in html around 2 or 3 years ago? I was like 11 or 12. But I'm always improving.

I learned HTML when I was 8 or 9, and i taught myself.
Looking back at it, that is pretty young.

Lol. I'm 13. I started when I was like.. 11. My work isn't amazing, but it's pretty decent, I guess. I guess we just all have big imaginations and much creativity.
 The maturity level comes as a bonus for being on here for quite a while sometimes, too.The average for someone on here is actually around 13-16.

(If this is just about designers, it's fine in this forum.)
CB does have it's own little group of wonderful designers. I'm actually more jealous of them than I am of artists on deviantART since our designers are younger, for the most part. I think it's actually become a trend to get into designing. More and more people are (were?) getting into blogging and designing and it's so hard to keep up with things. Some people are just so gosh darned creative that you wish you could steal their brains! |

It's fascinating... how you guys are so young, obviously still in school and you make time to do the neatest pictures I have ever seen... You are all obviously talented, and it does make you wanna *steal the brains*
And everyone always seems to think that generations are getting worse and worse, I don't think that's the case at all!! Some of the people here carry on better conversations then I would have with my parents!! I feel so old, LOL  Is there anyone my age on here... or am I just the only old fart?!?

I'm 16 and I'm not as good compared to all you guys. I started reading Html when I was 12. [not that long ago] You guys are lucky to have degrees in Webdesign and stuff. You guys all know the tricks.

I'm 16 and dang, yes, i'm amazed at the talent young cb'ers have.
 And the older ones, too. I probably started learning extremely basic html only like 2 years ago. It hasn't expanded that much since.

I'm currently 14. I started to get into designing when I was around late 11, early 12. I haven't taken any classes, but I plan to next year, my sophomore year.

I'm uh... 17. Almost 18. But I don't think I'm very talent, I actually am highly jealous of a lot of people here.
But uhm yeah, I've been coding & doing graphic design for quite a few years (maybe like 5-6), I feel slow (as Kathleen said) when I see younger people with so much talent. |

I know what you mean as well.
BUT age can be a BIG problem when you're trying to score a client. I remember last January when I was still in negotiation with Reebok Hockey, that they were really REALLY worried about my age (I was 18). Clients prefer to hire someone with experience and age. They hire designers who are 24, 25, etc. In the end I am still doing their Fall 2007 campaign and getting paid to do so (which is great =D), but hell, the negotiation process and the talk about my age was loooooong. I wish I was older. |
