Hello!

So I had my first week at the web & interactive media agency Lightmaker and it seems to be a very promising internship! I feel I have already learned so much in just one week.

I work in their Technical Design department which is a very good opportunity to refine my technical skills. It's challenging and I have lots to learn quickly. I might switch to their Design department for the second half of my internship but so far, I enjoy a lot the technical/coding side of web design.

It's a big discussion about how much technical skills a web designer should have. Two designers at Lightmaker advised me not to go too much in technical if I want to be a designer but then I keep seeing job adverts require so much technical knowledge?! I guess It really depends on the size of the studio. I wanted to quote Steven Heller here but can't find the quote anymore... anyway, I don't really know yet which route I'll take but the internship is definitely the opportunity to figure this out.

Anybody else in the DPS interested in web design?
