Today is one of those days where I wish I was better.
I wish I was better with Photoshop. I wish I was better with Illustrator. I wish I was better with code, so I could be better at web design. I wish I was in better shape. I wish I was better at being motivated to do stuff. I wish I was better…
Wishing is not going to make me better at any of the things I want to be better at. Doing them will. Doing is much harder than wishing.
Honestly I would much rather be painting instead of working in Photoshop or Illustrator. Unfortunately I need a nice clean digital image for a poster I am working on. That means Photoshop or Illustrator. That means headaches, backaches, numb butt and lots of clicking and cursing.
Through this endeavor I will get better at digital illustrations (and I rolled by eyes after I typed that.) I love digital illustrations or computer graphics as most people call them. I just do not want to be the one creating them. Give me a photo to put into a design and I am a happy camper. Make me make one and now I am crabby (posting on WP instead of working on it…)
Alas, I cannot find a suitable photo for my poster. Now I have to make one.
I doubt I would get so crabby if I did not sit in front of a computer all day anyway. Now I have to spend my free time in front of a computer NOT killing electronic representations of fictitious and mythical beings (World of Warcraft for me,) I have to W.O.R.K.
WHHHHYYYY can’t the image be available (and free?) That would just be to easy.
Alright. I am done whining. I will get to work. I might even post my finished product. Hopefully it will be done next week, AFTER PAX.
A little whine and back to the grind.
