		<description>Nice article. Wish we were given some of this kind of preparation from our University courses! We&#039;ve also written a brief article for new designers on things to consider when applying for a job. You can view it here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bml-creative.co.uk/2010/09/a-design-agencys-guide-to-getting-your-first-design-job/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;design career advice&lt;/a&gt; hopefully it might just help someone to get moving in the right directions.

Thanks for posting.</description>

		<description>Communication and technical skills are priceless assets, surely for a career in design the most indispensable skill is a flair for design. It may seem a bit obvious but I know quite a few designers I think should be moving sideways :O)</description>

		<description>Good article - very important to remember that technical skils and design skills need to work in together!
Way too many websites have great designs but are not functional, or have perfect functionality and poor design.</description>

		<description>Usability is one of the most important concepts of web design that I have discovered impacts on customer flow and actual overall sales results.  All points are relevant as shown in the article but for me the relativity of a well functioning design that doesn&#039;t scare the customers away is a very important factor and making changes in this area can greatly improve profit.</description>
