In 2005, three friends with an idea and the right know-how built a video sharing website called YouTube. Less than two years later, Google bought their site for 1.65 billion dollars.
Perhaps all Web Design majors won't end up with enough money to buy Canada, but in the marketplace, the web is the cash cow for many of today's most innovative ideas. And the web demands talented designers and able project managers of web-based publications of every variety. You'll learn how the best websites are structured to help keep information and traffic flowing, and how design can attract, repel, and communicate. You even have the opportunity to explore cutting edge methods in web narrative and collaboration.
