One trick that I’ve learned is most people at larger companies have standardized email addresses, so all you need to find is one person in the company’s email, and you can guess anyone else’s based on their name.
Off topic: I love Axios - they have some top tier journalists, and I was introduced when Dan Primack (from fortunes termsheet originally) moved over. They do great newsletters on politics, m&a/VC, tech, and the future of work.
I'll throw my 2 cents in here for 2Do, which is basically a power user todo app with multiple sync options including iCloud, Dropbox, etc. Give it a shot!
As the other commenter said, the corners aren't quite rounded which is a pain, and the blue gradient is a joke, referring to the gradients that Apple spewed all over their design.
It is really tough as a young person, especially as a front-end designer. I'm 18 now, but I started dabbling when I was about your age. A couple things I'd really recommend doing.
- Do NOT use a framework. They're really easy, and you learn nothing. Once you have enough experience in HTML5/CSS3 to code a responsive site from scratch without looking stuff up, then frameworks are beneficial.
-Build yourself a portfolio site. Building my portfolio (http://robs.im) has taught me so much. If you want more on this, let me know. I have some snippets of JS/CSS/HTML from the first version of my portfolio site that you might be able to use, they're quite unique, but they didn't suit my purposes.
-Forrst and Dribbble. My very first piece of work came in the day after I got into Dribbble. I'm going to be really honest with you right now. What you have is probably not good enough to get you into Dribbble. For tips on how to improve, email me. Link on my site. If you improve a lot, I have a Dribbble invite.
-GitHub: Work on something on GitHub. If you're looking for a Project, I have a couple of side projects you could work on. Again, email me.
- Last tip: Don't lie about your age. The general opinion seems to be "If you do good work, I don't care how old you are." Take Jared Erondu for example. If you don't know who he is, look him up. He's 18, and awesome. Lying about your age doesn't work, I did it once, and that was the end of that project.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback. I thought I'd just present the numbers and let people interpret them, but I guess I should've been more concise.
Wow, thanks for the response! I wasn't really aware of the buy and replace strategy. When I wrote this, I was building of the personal desire to be able to upgrade and customize but that presents a unique point.
