Feross' Story

Feross is passionate about web design and his story was inspirational, there is no doubt about that. I can definitely relate to him. I started digitally designing things as a hobby when I was a freshman in high school. It is so easy to find things to learn from online when it comes to computers. He’s totally right too, you just practice, practice, practice. Reading his story really got me thinking and there are a lot of similar things about our stories. It really makes me want to go out there and learn even more about design. There are so many designers out there and there are tons of websites with all sorts of techniques for designing. Obviously, not everyone is going to be as successful as Feross and create all these spectacular websites, but you start to think about what you like to do. If you have the will, which Feross mostly certainly did, then you can learn anything you want to. Then you just have to have the will, that is what it all comes down to and Feross shows us that. Shoot, at 14 years old, I probably would not have spent $20 on some book about websites because I did not want it that bad. It really gets the juices flowing for something to write about. His story gives a lot of good examples to look at and really got me thinking about what my specific event is going to be. To not just tell the story but include bits on what helped and what did not.
