What should I do to become a professional web designer?

Pranav, it's no way required to do BCom, it's totally up to you. One can go for Visual Comm or Animation or UI/ UX Design Programs as they relate better. Otherwise, you can parallely do a course in Web design or Animation to learn alongwith any Degree. Usual Web Design course at Arena is 12-15 months on normal track. The course is called GWDD. Through this you'll be equipped for Graphic Design as well as PHP based opensource website integration, UI Design, etc besides Web Design and Flash Animation and Apps at the end of this period. This would ensure that you're ready for web design and development (the career you're looking at right now) as well as many more career options that the future holds for the design fraternity. So you would not miss out when the growth starts with mobile gaming and LMS. If you are interested to learn elsewhere, you may look for courses similar to this. Internationally too, you must go for Programs that have UID/ UXD as their mainstay. Alternatively you can go for a longer course which has design alongwith animation. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability.

Employers in the software and media industries don’t put much weight on degrees because many technological concepts are outdated by the time you graduate.” In germany it is exactly the opposite – especially if you are searching for an apprenticeship. If you don’t have a masters degree you often don’t get the chance for a job interview.
