As an artist or designer I can't stress enough the importance of having a portfolio web site. When applying for jobs most employers ask for links. They want to see your body of work often before they want to see you. You need a web site working 24/7 as your representative. When enrolled in Graphic Web Design you have the opportunity to build your portfolio web site.
