The graphic arts community dips their toes into two worlds: print and web. Their designs will have to display properly in print, on the web, and many times both.
Too often an individual may focus so much on the things they aren't good at that they can't see the potential of their talents to help them succeed. More specifically, many of the self-proclaimed "artistically challenged" say they could never become a graphic artist, even though they are enamored of the field of study and by the final product.
People have learned impatience with anything connected to the internet, including your website. If your site takes longer than a second to load, it can drive people away.
It's therefore important to do all you can in the backend to increase your website design education to speed up your website's loading and response times. It may just be the aspect that creates loyal followers of your website.
There are at least two distinct talents that could qualify you to become a graphic arts professional. Learn about each one and see if you have the potential to make it in this creative field.
You can see evidence of this when you shine a white light into a prism. As the light reflects off of the different edges, different colors emerge.
A 300 x 500 sized slot for a picture doesn't need a 1,400 x 2,300 sized picture. On the bare-boned edge, it needs to be only 300 x 500.
The screen must therefore build color by mixing the most basic elements together (red, green, and blue). This method maximizes the total amount of colors the screen can display.
The second talent is the ability to create images from nothing. These are the artists that you traditionally think would be good in the graphic arts profession.
Inks mixing together work create different colors than light and therefore require special consideration. CMYK just happens to be the most basic form of color that can print the most colors you are used to seeing.
CSS coding is fairly intuitive, and oftentimes, easier to manipulate than other languages. Not to mention that you can learn coding from some of the most interesting websites using the "Inspect Element" tool in Google Chrome.
Others simply don't want to do it, preferring to create rather than arrange. Hence they belong in the graphic arts profession, but they are incomplete on their own.
So whether you are creating the art or arranging it beautifully, your talents are much needed. There are several other ways to fit into this field.
Fifth and finally, reduce the number of things you load from an outside server. The more reliant the page is on another server for information, the slower the website and the more likely it is to fail. It's like trying to get a timely news article to the press, but having to get the CEO of Apple, Bill Gates, and the President of the United States on the phone for approval. The requests can take a long time.
The process can still be hard at times, especially when you fall in love with a color that simply won't print right. Graphic arts professionals figure it out with time though.
