Courses Plus Student 845 Pointshow between different Web Designer Vs Front-End Web Developer
I'm pretty much confuse how between different Web Designer Vs Front-End Web Developer I think Web Designer don't need code like html, css, js. Web Designer need good skill designing idea don't need code like html, css, js. Designer need good tools like Adobe Photoshop , Adobe Illustrator , InDesign etc.
Front-End Web Developer need good skills like html, css , js.

Courses Plus Student 123 PointsHey Joseph, Nice question.There are some differences between Web Design and Front End Web Development.A web designer should be focused on designing such as create some typography,good web page look and today most important work for a designer is to create the web page Responsive.Responsive Web design is the most challenging work for a Web Designer.For web design you have to learn these technologies HTML,CSS,Flexbox,Bootstrap,some JS. And a web designer need little bit Adobe Photoshop for creating images format such as JPG,PNG,GIF,Cropping etc and also need some Adobe Illustrator for creating svg,simple Logo etc.You doesn't need to be master in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator you just use these technologies for some web design good look.For more information have a look on these http://www.lynda.com/Web-Design-tutorials/Welcome/177837/364258-4.html https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/web-design
A Front End Web Developer's duties are creating some Javascript functionality alongside with HTML,CSS.A developer's main focus is to develop the web page with some programming funcationality that's it.
