(creative/design/skills wise)
I need to improve my skillz somehow I reckon. “How? They’re already so good?” I hear you say. My design skills seem to naturally progress aslong as I keep myself busy but I’d like to improve some aspect of my skills further to gain the satisfaction or stop any niggling doubt in my own ability.
Last year I guess I mainly moved forward by learning javascript and now I’m glad that I’m pretty good with jquery and mootools, able to write pretty handy stuff, including AJAX, that is a necessary skill nowadays with javascript able to create very useful features. I’ve also learned Illustrator and improved my illustration skills.
Anyway, as probably most people do, I have a large abundance of ideas that i’d like to do but from either lazyness, procrastination or busyness I probably won’t: fill my new moleskine with amazing drawings, become an amazing ASP.NET programmer, redesign my portfolio and get on all the gallery sites again, be as good at graphic design as I am web design. But hey ho, hopefully I’ll achieve something.
This year I got on design galleries for 2 websites and created a popular photoshop brush set, I need to atleast match that or is that showing some kind of obsessive, masochistic behaviour, I’m not sure.
Atleast I am going to be playing the drums in a band again, this should definitely feed my creative hunger (forgive connotations, I’ve been reading vampire books lately), and now I am wiser, the music could even be good!
