How To Succeed In Web Design
View more presentations from Shawn Rider. Full slide notes are available on Slideshare.net if you click through.

These are the slides from my presentation at the Art Institute of Washington DC’s “Pizza With the Pros” event. I gave a talk to a group of web design and related media arts majors geared towards advice that will help a student get ahead in the business. I welcome feedback and additional tips if you have them. I definitely don’t mean this to be comprehensive, and I myself debated a lot about what could fit into the presentation. As it was, I ended up with an hour’s worth of talk when I really wanted 30 minutes plus change. It was fun to present at AiW, and I was pleased to see such engaged students.

What follows after the break is a list of links to things that came up throughout the presentation. If I missed anything, let me know in the comments.
