design for the web student comments
hello to my former students :)
Nothing will tell people more about this course than your views and thoughts. I would really appreciate it if you could spare me a minute or two to write a comment on the “design for the web” course. Just a few words on how you found your time on the course, what you feel you learned and achieved – and what you’ve been up to since ;)
Thanks in advance :)

By doing this web design course, with the help from Prisca, you will learn, get advice and boost your confidence. Prisca is a very talented tutor who respects and supports you throughout the course and her teaching is excellent. I have studied from primary school to university (almost 16 years) and from my learning experience Prisca’s teaching is top, it’s the best and the most Friendliest.
I am a graduate in “interaction design” I did not know what direction to go. By doing this course I have learnt a lot and thanks to Prisca I now have the confidence to work for a web design company. Prisca supported me during the job application.
I will definetly recommend this course.
Thank you sooo much Prisca. :>)

This is by far the best thing I have done in a very long time. If you are interested in studying web design then I PROMISE YOU this is the best course you will ever do!
Unlike any other web course you will get so much support from your tutor Prisca, who will help you with anything and is always there for you. She will teach you everything you need to know from her experience as a freelance web designer. This course isn’t just about handcoding website, she also teaches you how to create beautiful designs. It’s a lovely balance and you will create amazing websites during this course.
I didn’t know any coding whatsoever when I started the course and now I’m handcoding confidently! I have surprised myself – at the beginning I didn’t think in less than a year I could learn this much.
This course was so much fun and this was to do with having Prisca as a tutor and her way of teaching everything. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone :-)

This course is by far the best thing i’ve done in a long time. I enjoyed every minute of it. If you want to do a course in web design then dont hesitate to enrol for this course. I personally looked around for a good webdesign course and i havent found any course that comes near to design for the web course at Tower hamlets college. Prisca is one of the coolest teacher a student could ever ask for. I wish I was still on the course (i speak for my classmates aswell). Thank you for everything prisca.. Xxx

Doing this course has been a really wonderful experience for me. My interest in web design goes a long way from studying ICT. For having a passion to produce websites, there’s nothing like the buzz of designing the look and feel of establishing an online presence for people to portray their business virtues across for the world to see.
I had been fortunate enough to come across this course as it had matched with my ambitions in pursuing a career in web design. This course has been a rare opportunity for me to begin to bolster my theoretical knowledge and building up my practical skills in the web field.
This course was successful, having Prisca as a great tutor who had taught many different aspects of the web really well in a fun and motivating way. I have learnt a lot of new, interesting stuff from hand coding to design techniques within a short time span. I ended up with some fine masterpieces to cherish. Prisca was like no other teacher I ever had, sharing her knowledge and experience first hand. I have also learnt about VIPs in the web industry, so called ‘web geeks’ in learning from the experts to broaden my own expertise of using methods to produce websites that meet high standards.
If anyone out there would like to go into web design and wants to have what it takes to be one, then look no further as this would be the course for you. It would definitely be worthwhile and would be the right choice you make to follow your career ambitions.
Many thanks Prisca for teaching this course. Wish you all the best of luck with your next fortunate students.

Now good luck with your web careers, go & make the web a better place ;)

There are things that mark the beginning and end of something in your life and this course was one of those for me in the positive way.
I searched for more than one year for different courses at colleges and universities. Luckily my friend, Nicole, recommended this course to me and we started together.
In “Design for the Web” Prisca will not only teach you to use programs, write code, design, good taste, latest technologies, standards, social media, rock and who are the gurus to follow ;), but also how to continue learning on your own, and most importantly, Prisca shares all her knowledge and experience, and shows you how she works. She doesn’t hide any information and shares EVERYTHING. That’s something very hard to find.
Look at my portfolio and my work, I started from scratch and now I’m much more than happy with my progress.
Prisca thank you very much for your teachings, help and guidance. You’re the best teacher ever!
Jul, 20th 2012 - 2:36pm
This is the best course I have ever did!!!
I’ve never had a teacher as good as Prisca. She loves teaching, she loves the web, she loves creating beautiful things and she will definitely transfer all that passion to you.
You will learn sooooo much and you will have a lot of fun while you learn.
I promise that by the end of the year you are not going to want the course to end.
This course gives you all the skills to start a freelance career or find I job as a web designer, trust me!
At the end of the course I started doing interviews and I actually got a job as a Graduate Frontend developer. If I got this job is because of Prisca and her course.
You won’t just learn how to do pretty websites, you will learn about the web community, about caring for the web, about the people you need follow (our beloved “gurus” and a lot more…
There are not enough words to express how grateful I am.
Thanks Prisca, you are the best! =D

The best experience ever attending the web design course by Prisca. I thought it was a good idea to refresh my skills, to get me going into a career as web designer. It was amazing as I can now write coding languages such as XHTML1.0, HTML5, CSS2.1, CSS3 as well as implementing jQuery and PHP.
Below is my web design portfolio, my final project on The Design for Web course, thanks to the awesome teacher!

If you are looking to start a career in web design or just learn everything you need to know about designing for the web, this is the course for you!
Prisca is such a wonderful teacher it is amazing how she can bring around the designer in all of us and you will be amazed at what you come up with in such short time. Many other courses i have seen out there will not even come close to what you learn in the short year with Prisca, she is forward thinking and will teach you what is relevant today and the future, not stuck back 10 years like a lot of other courses will try to teach you!
If you want to learn great web design and have fun whilst doing it, this is the course for you! You will not be disappointed, i miss your words of wisdom and help already Prisca, thank you so much for getting me where i am, (and your patience.) :)

Hi Prisca & everyone,
I can’t believe how much you have got through already…lol
I keep clicking older entries and it’s never ending :)
I am loving the new students new work “keep it up guys” and keep at it. Prisca is the best teacher in the game ;) so don’t get ignorant and think you can go else were because you can’t…lol
you will only end up in some dead end course with a teacher that probably doesn’t even know what a doctype is, teaching you how to build websites using tablebased layout websites or even worse, a photoshop sliced catastrophy of a website..lol
so do your best my fellow designers and keep at it and you will make it :)
Thanks again, Prisca :)
W3C aint got s*#*t on Prisca

Hey People,
I’m back on track on the webeyedea.info to let know the future students that they all should apply for this course before there are no more places left for it.
It was an amazing year, and I learned so much… and 1 month after having finished the course I got a job as a UIdesigner in London.
So just 3 simple words… GO FOR IT, it’s worth it!
I can’t wait to see the new students work next year ;) …And good luck by the way!

I am half way through the course and I am absolutely loving it but also hating the fact that I know it will all end soon :(
But while it lasts ill be enjoying my time here.
Before I came to the course I thought I new HTML & CSS but now I am here I realize I only new what it was and not how to use it, but meeting Prisca has changed all of that…hehehhe
Prisca is an excellent Teacher and a fantastic web designer also a great friend.
I hope to learn so much more from Prisca this year and I am very certain I will…. :)

Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Riccardo :) made me smile & very proud to see you doing so well :)
Feb, 26th 2011 - 4:31pm
Hello Everyone :)
Well, where to begin?
I will say thanks to Prisca all my life because she actually changed my life.
I was a fashion product designer graduated in Italy but I couldn’t find my way/profession in this sector industry.
So I did 2 short courses in Illustrator and InDesign to develop my graphic skills at the Tower Hamlets College and one day I met Prisca there. She explained me her course ‘Design for the web’ and I remember I was so happy when I went back home that day. The reason was that I had found my profession for the future. To be a Web Designer. Prisca gave me great motivations that day and when the course started (2006/07). I was so into the codes that I was dreaming css layouts every night.
In 1 year she taught me more things than I learnt in all my years at schools and uni.
Now after few years I’ve finished the course, I’m working full time for a company as Graphic and Web Designer but I am still learning new codes, styles, layouts from Prisca great works following her on twitter and around web conferences :)
All the best wishes for you Prisca and good luck for all your students!
Oct, 4th 2010 - 1:56pm
Hi guys:) Reading all your comments makes me very glad I got on Prisca’s course 10/11. Very encouraging. Just hope I can survive the year.
Aug, 23rd 2010 - 1:18pm
Hi Everyone,
If you’re constantly wondering which webdesign course to choose & you’re looking for something really professional – then this is it what you looking for.
Prisca’s a very competent teacher. She always prepares every single lesson – I know few teachers like her. Her passion, knowledge and commitment to her job are beyond doubt – this is Prisca.
Thanks and good luck to all the students who choose this course.
Prisca, we love you!!!
Aug, 20th 2010 - 10:53pm
Design for the web is an excellent course which I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants to get into web design. The course teaches both design skills and coding skills, which are equally important for creating attractive and usable web sites, and both are equally well covered on the course. We also learned how to plan a website both structurally and visually, and essential image creation and manipulation skills. All subjects were conveyed with great enthusiasm and skill by Prisca and Laura, all within the context of building an accessible web, through good design principles and web standards.
Keep up the good work Prisca, all the best to you and your fortunate students for the next year!
Aug, 20th 2010 - 3:49pm
thanks, Charlotte and Gaia ;)
Charlotte, you’ve really made me proud this year ~ all credit to your hard work to get there ;)
Gaia, yeah :-| I know… this redesign was well overdue…
Thanks :)
Aug, 18th 2010 - 12:59pm
I simply looove this new look!
Colours, feel, logo, EVERYTHING.
The old style was nowhere near what was needed to portray the goodness of the course, whereas this is brilliant and mirrors the beautiful power of the course (in one word: Prisca) to create emerging, creative, knowledgeable web designers ready to work in the world of the web.
All the best.
Aug, 17th 2010 - 11:16pm
This course has been the most important course of all my study! Prisca is a great teacher, who spends a lot of time and energy to teach us all her knowledge!
This is a very professional course, I found a job easily after one year learning with prisca. I can’t believe, how much I learn. It’s a great course!!! Thank so much prisca! And very nice new website, love it!!!
Aug, 17th 2010 - 2:10pm
Thank you so much, everyone, for your lovely comments ;)
This is so nice to read…. aw :) and very much appreciated.
Also, very glad you like the new design.
Thanks :)
Aug, 17th 2010 - 10:47am
It was by chance that I studied ‘Design for the Web’ in year 06/07, I was always interested in computers and technology but this course changed my life, and Prisca was the best teacher ever, her enthusiasm and passion for web so contagious to me that I’m now a successful Web Designer.
Prisca encouraged every student to get the best of each of us and getting the best out of the web, a course focus on best practices and web standards. This kind of course is unique in London as focus is on handcoding, web standards, best practices, usability and so on, with Prisca supporting each student by email outside of course hours.
And great new website!! Very nice!!
Thanks, Prisca, for all your hard work and enthusiasm that infected all of us!
Aug, 16th 2010 - 9:39pm
I am very happy that had opportunity to study web design and handcoding in Priscas class in year 09/10. When I am looking to last year studies now, can say that feel surprised how many tons of web design knowledge Prisca managed teach to us in just two days a week. Before I could not imagine that this course will give so fundamental knowledges about HTML, CSS, webstandarts and so many new skills in graphic design.
Prisca is a kind of missionary in web religion and she spread her secret knowledge with great passion for everybody who are ready to learn, because web design is her belief and love :)
In course I realized that there are thousands of ways to make bad webpage and only few ways to do it right, so it was great luck to meet Prisca and studied in her web class. Priscas web course is like a hidden treasure in London and everybody who found or will find it is very lucky :)
Aug, 16th 2010 - 3:58pm
I enjoyed the courses at Tower: I came from a engineering background and so had to ‘adjust’ to a creative environment; would be nice to keep in touch with ex-colleagues so please feel free to contact me.
I am pleased this new site is based on open free software!!!
Aug, 12th 2010 - 10:55am
Prisca is one of my favorite teachers and I had lots of them! But she is the only one who immediately answers to your e-mails in the middle of the night! She is very professional and very dedicated to web design and her students. I came to her course without having a clue what html and css are and now whatever I do and wherever I go, people call me “a web designer” – it’s magic :-)
Prisca, I love your new site – beautiful colors and layout and I am glad that you are keeping your photo!
Aug, 11th 2010 - 9:58pm
I would advice to take this course to every single person who wants to learn about web design.
The days when I had to go to the college were my happy days. And mostly it was because of Prisca – her personality and the way she was teaching us – her passion for web design got into your head and heart so it comes your passion as well. When I told people what I learned and how much I learned in just 1 year attending this course, they were surprised, especially about a handcoding.
And if I could I would take this course again :)
P.S. Prisca, sites new look is great :)
Aug, 11th 2010 - 9:16am
The course gave me good foundation with the basics and taught me to design creative, accessible and cleanly coded sites.
Your lovely personality, passion for web design and the way you were always there to help us out, really made me enjoy all the new things I was learning.
You not only taught us how to code, but to keep up to date with ways to make designing and the user experience better. I still pop into the Eyelearn forum to check out the new discussions that happen.
I definitely got out of this course much more than I expected. :)
Thanks for everything Prisca!
Aug, 10th 2010 - 4:47pm
Oh yes, this course was awesome.
I never thought I could learn that much in one year. Prisca spent all her energy on making us learn everything and be able to go out and find a job. And overall I loved the way she passed on her passion to us. Also, I would like to emphasize her generosity with her own time.
Like always, Prisca, nice new site.
Aug, 9th 2010 - 10:49pm
I love the new site. Very warm in colours and the content.
I wish this course would have the future. It helped me to update my knowledge and get a place in Central Saint Martins for further education.
Prisca is a very professional strict and giving teacher. If you want to succeed she will help you. It is a shame I can’t do this course again :-)
Aug, 9th 2010 - 6:20pm
Prisca the new site looks scrumptious!
The course actually changed my employment prospects pretty drastically. Since completing it I haven’t had any trouble finding work. It gave me an excellent foundation of skills upon which I have continued to build. And I should be ever grateful I stumbled upon it!
Aug, 9th 2010 - 5:29pm
great new site
fab course, working now on lots of cool things such as Blackberry, Bulmers, Sky the NHS + more all because of doing this course, it was a great start to the world of web
