Ask HN: Does anybody need 16 years old front-end web designer? Hire me

#1
I am 16 years old font-end web designer. I love to design and then code it to HTML and CSS. I also love Twitter Bootstrap framework. I got some spare time and I want to build up my portfolio.

My last work:

You can find my email in my profile.

Thanks!

Hey,

I know what it's like to be a young web developer / designer looking for work. I think the best thing you can do during this time is work constantly to improve what you're doing.

In terms of general improvement, I suggest looking more at your typography, line-height, sizes, fonts etc. It'll really make your designs better.

Also, look into the use of negative space (whitespace) to give your designs room to improve.

In the beginning especially, break away from the grids and frameworks. Get the basics down and really learn the nuances of HTML and CSS. Work at it and you'll improve.

I suggest requesting an invite to Forrst, they've got some great people over there to give feedback.

Thakns for your support. I know, I will need to learn more about design.

amarco is right on the mark. You are doing great, particularly for your age. Keep at it and I have no doubt you will be amazing.

I see this thread pop up from time to time, and I admire your determination. Keep that fire going. I'd love to gift you a graphic design book, if you are willing (not a scam, I promise).

But as a young developer (15 and 362 days old ;)) If you have any ideas you'd like to collab on, I'd be willing to give it a shot :)

I know it's tough to try to find work, and I hope you can get some good gigs.

A few tips - As Amarco suggests, Forrst might be a good place to post.

Did you post on the https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5472748 thread? That's where people might look.

Finally, I know you're trying to branch out, but try to avoid spamming the forum, or the moderators might ban you. You've posted twice in the last week advertising your services - And while I admire the drive - It's kinda annoying.

Good Luck!
