As a designer, I’d like to continue learning flash along with photoshop, special effects and 3D. Just get better and see what happens to these programs and where I can go with them. I’d also of course like to build up a \ portfolio, with sites that everyone can look at and realize they are interactive and full of crazy graphics. I’d also like a chance to talk to some of the big boys and get to know them. Maybe be better than some of them? We’re talking in 5 years…who knows. Maybe become semi-famous and help people develop their own style? Maybe have some people look up to me? In 5 years, I’ll probably be at the end of highschool or the beginning of college, so I won’t have much time to do what I’d like to, but it’s just a thought. What about you? What would you like to do within 5 years? What do you see yourself as? (and don’t be scared to say something and think others will see it as a silly concept) (and please post what you would like to do in **design** terms _looks at wizard_) 🙂 ---

In five years I will have been done with college and playing Halo 4. That’s it… Actually, I hope to have a job in web design/development. My friends and I talk about starting our own web design company… that would be great! It’s hard to really say where I see myself. ---

In 5 years I see myself having moved to the states, and working for ILM with character animation or modelling :beam: psch 😛 that requires an edu here in DK that costs roughly 32000 US$ 🙂 and it takes 3,5 years… 🙂 so… ☹ ---

I want to master actionScript and PHP, and also move more into other programming languages such as C/C#/C++/Java/etc and maybe get into a bit of 3d. But at this point, I’m thinking programming is the way I want to go rather than designing. ---

5 years… hmm finish v2 of my site… lol [size=1]…nah that will take 6 years…j/k[/size] [size=1][/size] in 5 years time, i see myself completing my diploma course in webdesign (e-commerce), working with a funky web/print company and keep doing jobs on the side. will probably get back into 3d and motion graphics and try to develop many side projects i have in mind. eg: clothing label. * * * all above actually depends on the next few years, im really in a transitional period, i have many of my design friends who are already situated in the design world that are interested in setting up a design firm, so its all a little unclear at the moment, next year will be a lot clearer. ---
