Which web-design tools and methods are right for me?
How should I approach web design?
Suppose want to develop PHP websites and already have a good programming background. How can I make sites *look* good?
Do you recommend a tool? Should I use an Adobe product to design the front-end’s view?
I need to be able to quickly design good-looking, php-driven sites.
BlueBoden, I’m pretty sure the guy knows what php does, he pretty said he was good at it. He just wants to know how to make professional looking templates.
I know how you feel (i am the same way). I am good at programming and coding but as far as graphics go, i couldn’t make a nice looking image to save my life! Luckily for me, I have a talented sister for graphics design. I can suggest what she uses though. Adobe products are amazing for graphics design and templates. Try to get Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator and play around with them until you start to get a good feel for it. Photoshop is raster imaging and illustrator is vector imaging. they both have their advantages over each other but just play around with them to see what fits you.
