Thing #15: Oh identity.
Sometimes I think I’m thinking too hard about this. I was surfing about and found this quote that really struck a chord with me:
“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
–Sylvia Plath
Up until about four years ago, I was pretty confident in my creative abilities. But an important thing you learn in school is to critique your own work. I think I’ve been over critiquing myself too much since then. Oh to find a happy balance!
Here is one of my latest layout mock-ups for my website/blog. I only did it in red because I was already messing around with that color and didn’t feel like converting everything to black and white. Lazy, I know, but tonight is Friday! I was thinking of having it straight black and white, or having small color details that would change between pages. I like the boldness of it, but I’m not sure how I feel about the flowers–I’d probably like them better if I actually drew them rather than messing around with a photoshop image. I like to make things difficult for myself.
