"Information technology and business are becoming inextricably interwoven. I don't think anybody can talk meaningfully about one without the talking about the other. (By Bill Gates)" Nowadays, as the technology is developing, the relationship between business and information technology become closer gradually. For example, the websites of companies could represent how the development of company is, so the web designer is an important job for companies. Recently, I learnt Web Design taught by Mrs. Candela in Lake Shore High School, although it is the first time for me to get in touch with course about Web Design, however, this class roused me keen interest for being a web designer in my future. I like design thing what others unexpected, working with computer is a habitual thing for me as well, coding, editing, such as these are my favorites. So I think web designer is a job which suits me a lot. In order to get better understanding of a career as a Web Designer, I will be researching the nature of work, working conditions, training, qualifications, job outlook, employment, earnings, and occupations related to the field of Web Design.
