Designer Wannabe
August 27, 2004
I’m not much a designer. In fact, I consider myself a developer, not a designer. I’m much better at seeing something that I like and incorporating elements into my own designs. The end result usually isn’t too far from the original. I try to give credit where it is due and try to convert as much as possible to make it my own. But in the end, it usually isn’t very hard to tell that I’ve been influenced. However, I’m renovating the design direction of my personal site and someone actually called me on it.
- Friend:
- wow — look at you go with your artsy weblog. who’d you copy that from?
- Matt:
- worked on it myself
- …
- Friend:
- even got the feet at the bottom — nice! c’mon, where’d you see it?
- Matt:
- for once, a design concept that I came up with myself.
- Friend:
- LIAR! It’s too slick. No way you came up with it
