Jump in the sky rocket!

I never do design on a regular basis, it’s always in spurts. And believe me, you can get really frustrated when you’re doing something that you’re only semi-good at while racing towards a deadline. Imagine that you’ve only made a red velvet cake three times and you’re suddenly trying to make the perfect one for the Betty Crocker Invitational. Yeah, that’s stressful. And you don’t even really know why they invited you.

So because I really needed to brush up on CSS skills, I decided to take a self-assigned crash course. I’ve done a ton of CSS work in the past week on at least ten different projects. I felt like I was getting better (and faster) so I hacked away at the current design of my site today. Within a few hours I was all the way into the clouds.. as you can see! Daniel believes my other design was classier, but it was getting a little boring. Purple. Gray. A leaf-ish flower on the background. Text. Sorry, pudding cup. I needed to do something.

I think this is a lot more creative. It would take me at least 30 adjectives to describe this new look, plus there’s not a leaf in sight. Now, if you think it’s too out there, don’t tell me please. Only whisper to others. At least I know it’s going to drive my inspiration car around the parking lot. You enjoy your own car!

I’ll be making a lot more posts now with design goodies, graphics and more. Things that just make you happy.
