but I got my business site done. It just goes to show how much I need a deadline to be inspired and to buckle down and work, haha.

that are a single page, and you scroll horizonatlly to see their pieces. It seems to be a very smart way to show your work online, as people want something fast & easy, with little navigation.
This also seems like a doable task for me…if I could clamp down, then I could get it done in a weekend.
I think the real problem is, I am not confident in my work and I hate making effort to present something I am not fully happy with. I feel like I should be working to improve my pieces, not proudly displaying them.
Designer/artist/creative types come two ways usually: those who think they are some creative god, and those who have little confidence in their work. I fall into the latter category and have to remind myself of that whenever I feel ashamed of my design…my perspective is distorted.
I successfully brought my design in from Photoshop. I started to set up the navigation & I hit a snag in action scripting the buttons to lead to another swf file.
I’ve been using various tutorials to stumble my way through this, but they are always vague on the info you need. Or the tutorial goes smooth, but when you try & apply the same concept to your own design there is always a major problem that arises…
I want it to be perfect, to be some reflection of me as an artist (hahaha!)...but then time is ticking & I need a new job, and I somehow feel that I just need a website I’ve designed myself out there to move forward in my career, whether it’s everything I want it to be or not.
I just don’t like using my free time for stuff like this, but it must be done….I have to stop wasting time with other things & buckle down & get to it!
Design is no longer fun once it is your job…sadly…
that might help refresh my memory & jump start me to finish my website. The design part is easy. I have a million design ideas….it’s making them into a working website that is the task!
