Do y’all ever get designer’s block? It just seems whatever I come up with is never good enough and I scrap it and start from square one. It’s SO frustrating!
Anyone else experience this?
Only when designing for myself.
All the time, so I usually just go down to the local park and sketch, and draw whatever I see, It really gives me a lot of inspiration
Haha,
I get that a lot bud. Trust me, all you gotta do is just take a break, and listen to some Aphex Twins, Windowlicker… you’ll be ok 
Some who? :h:
Money is my inspiration 
so i dont really have problems when i am getting what i asked for.
same for me, i was planning to transfer a cheque to my account…u know mock it ahahahhhah but it did’nt work at all.Anywya i made a pretty nice site in the end.
jokes aside, i have been helping a few designers from the forum…otherwise too by email and stuff regarding the same problem,its pretty common with starters…but when they learned to fly…they never came back 
ditto. when i have a lot to work with i.e. input from client, images i tend to do much better
I had writers block for about a month, started 3 or 4 websites that never got past 30%. Then I was sitting at work with nothing to do, opened up Windows Notepad and started writing.
It all came to me like a charm, I wrote the longest piece of code I had ever written, went home, put it in Flash and it worked straight away.
(then I saw a thread a couple of days later on Kirupa, explaining everything I had just done, Aaarrgghhh!!!)
Yes, for some reason, when I need to or want to design for someone else I have like a billion ideas, but when I design for myself and my own sites, I just get blocked. It’s like I’m running 245 mph on a highway and then all of a sudden you hit a flat invisible barrier and your mind goes blank :h:…
Hey Ordinathorreur is that Rik from the Young Ones in your avatar? 
I click around www.coolhomepages.com or deviant art for creative inspiration.
Or I say screw it! and crack open a beer and watch sportscenter
lol…you said Y’all
u are completely right yeldarb, that only happens when I do something for myself…I never thought about it, only now that I read it…weird
ditto, www.coolhomepages.com
Sure is! :thumb:
oh man I wish they would bring that show back! I remember watching it on MTV and then for a brief bit on PBS. We have a few episodes on VHS but there are a few episodes I don’t have that I would love to see again! It’s funny - whenever it’s my turn in the Movie Quotes thread all I can think of at first are Young Ones quotes! :beam:
