I just came up with the best coolest most promising least objectionable redesign for my website yet! There's still hope!
When I say "Came up with" I don't mean it dropped out of the blue. I mean that...lezzee...after umpteen sketches and nine total inspiration-less iterations in the past week, not counting how many of the same have been created over the last three years, I've reached something I'm not disgusted with. My design process is not always this hard, but I was burnt out on THIS project years before I started.
Design(er's emotional) Process
1. I'm going to create the COOLEST SITE EVER. It will be clear and communicative and showcase who I am at the depths of my wild soul!
2. I'm going to make a professional, functional website that gives prospective clients a clue what I do.
3. I'm going to make a professional, functional website that gives prospective clients a clue what I do, because I need it NOW, dammit.
4 I will never be excited about this project again. If I can find something that works, I'll just be done.
5. I will never find something that works, let alone anything to be excited about.
6. I will never make anything that doesn't disgust me. Is it to late to study accountancy?
7. SPSCC offers accounting courses...
8. I...hey...that's not a load of crap. I could work with that. Something I might just barely be able to work into something manageable...it's more than I dreamed possible! HOW EXCITING!
If I'm still not disgusted with it in the morning, I'll upload a pic tomorrow night. Design-wise, there is nothing there to be excited about - I have to keep things bland so that it doesn't detract from the art - but I think the bones have potential.
