okay, so maybe i don’t actually stay up every night, but i do get so frustrated. with this website, that is. i still haven’t settled on a look. this green is okay, it’s tolerable anyway.
oh, for those of you viewing on internet explorer it looks like this.
anyway, the point is i would love to do something more like this. i just don’t know how to go about doing that. obviously, i need to find my own version, my own voice with it. and i don’t want to have it look like every other website on the net. the whole ‘web 2.0′ look with all its glassy buttons and flat, slick vector graphics are beginning to really look boring. basically, every website i see lately looks like some variation of this. sometimes you get something a little more edgy like this. and there’s even stuff like this, but it still just seems kinda clinical somehow.
funny that i started thinking about this now. as i was driving home from my parents’ i was thinking about how all my creative energy is so focused on writing at the moment. seems like i’ve got no energy for visual or music creative stuff right now. i haven’t decided yet if that’s okay or not. i think it might be, after all, i’m working very hard on the writing thing and i know i haven’t actually lost my creative chops as i play around just enough to keep them well honed.
but i’m rambling here. basically, it boils down to the simple fact that i’m dissatisfied with how this website looks and i’m not sure what to do about it, nor whether i really want to dive into a redesign at this time of year.
as usual, this needs more thinking.
