Design Envy

May 29th, 2007

logo designhat do the following sites have in common? Let me put it this way, you decide you want to make a website for a hobby, then decided you want to learn more, then after a while your friends start commending your work, so you decide to join a webmasters community to learn as much as you can. You get your site critiqued and received a couple of praises, then you wake up the next morning and you suddenly decide to become a web designer, and make it your profession.

After a couple of days you were pretty good at marketing yourself and made a couple of sites. You were pretty much feel you’re on cloud 9. Now you think you’re pretty good at this stuff, but then… you got here and read my post and go to the following three sites below…

Now you’ve got Design Envy… and now you’re slumped, and then your dreams are shattered, how can you be as good as the showcased sites when you had no design training, and you’ve been up and resting on your laurels when all you really had was a lucky break? A beginners luck. Now if you don’t get your stuff together and start making serious, functional designs… then your back to selling baseball cards on ebay…
