It’s been about a year since this site went live. The learning has been an experience. There’s so much more to the web than I had actually prepared myself for. In fact, I’m pretty much obsessed with everything related to web design and development.
On that note, I believe it’s time for yet another site facelift ;)

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” ~ Sun Tzu.
It’s not easy living. Things get hard, we long for a way out. On the other hand, things could get better and we then hope they never change. Despite the fact that I have never been on a real battlefield, this life we live is no different from one (no, it was not I that inspired Jordin Sparks to sing about this… :P).

On this planet and surely on others such as Pluto, Mercury and Krypton (may their souls rest in peace) learning is a never ending process. This probably sounds scary to many, especially when having to recall high school events and puberty.
There’s no escaping having to learn something periodically. Life is a journey full of discovery or discovering. That said, it’s not that different in the graphics and design universe. There’s always that illusion that a really good artist is a “complete” artist. Someone may be so good, there’s never really a thought of them trying to get better or learn more.

I have been down that road. The fighting, the struggling, the road blocks… The path to “Ninja-guru-ness” is one painfully hectic journey. There are a scrolls of reasons why those who start dreaming end up giving up or trashing what they believe.
I have 6 that I personally know and meet every now and then.

I came across an article on the web which I thought was worth sharing. Unfortunately since the text is white on black background I thought it would be best to post it here on this site.

When I first got into Photoshop, the last thing on my mind was Motion Design. I didn’t think I would ever get into anything that “technically sophisticated”. Look at me now!
I wonder why I always felt like I had a mind that would not be able to handle the complexity that is motion graphics. Surprise, Surprise! Who would have ever known it would be, not only easy to grasp, but also fun to learn.
I have a big problem with those that believe specializing in ONE thing is the way to go. It’s understandable why they would see it fit to just go down one path… it sort of makes the path to achieving your goal seem a bit shorter and well defined. That you could go pro faster than one who is juggling a bunch of hobbies.

2011 happened to be the year I fell in love with user interfaces. Well, more like user interface designing. The art itself is almost as exciting as the kind of work it produces.
In comparison to photo-manipulation or vector graphic designing, it kind of feels like having to work backwards to achieve your goal or end result. This type of designing puts a strong emphasis on how a user will interact with your system (or whatever you could be developing the User Interface for).
