Web design isn’t about technology. Web design is graphic design, built on a interactive platform. It is graphic design with limitations, but mostly graphic design with endless possibilities. A graphic designer needs to understand the web. Information Architects states that web design is 95% typography, purely because web design is the same as graphic design – to present content the best way possible. The last five percent you ask? They’re about having a unison mindset, and being able to design for all surfaces.
Web design is graphic design.

Jeff designs print and web experiences for a variety of clients and enjoys sharing what he learns. He became a designer as the fracture between web and graphic design occurred and is now fascinated as the two disciplines are on the cusp of coming full-circle to merge into a new, media savvy generation of designers. When not crazy busy, Jeff likes geocaching and consuming copious amounts of coffee. You should follow him on Twitter and Facebook. But not real life—that’s just creepy.
