Joel started web design when he bought a html book in 1997 and carried through to being a graduate in web and media production. joels interview was short and sweet. he describes his work process, where he starts, and what key pionts he considers so follws,

"Coffee is very important and, of course, reading designer magazines and check award sites for inspiration. I always write down everything to paper before starting a software."

This thought process is realy the way to go with design work, putting pen to paper 1st, or roughing the design on paper.

he goes on to say that the next big deveopment in webpage design will be interactivity with 3d and movie clips.

Joel works clean and minimal with his design work for ease of use for the user. i hate web pages that are hard to navigate.

At the end of the interview he gives some advice for web design beginers, saying a good starting piont would be to check award sites for inspiration, read design magainzes and alwasy make a manusript before you start to produce.
