Hi All,

I am new here from England. I have been looking at this forum a lot lately but never had the guts to really join and post lol.

I have been designing since I was around 13 years of age (I am now 25) but took a break lately. I have never earned any money from my designs because I have never really “worked” in design. It’s just something I have as a passion and do at home, then just stick all my designs in a file and forget about them :rolleyes: . Having said that though, I have worked for a couple of design companies one being Sun Microsystems, but not as a designer. Normally I would always work as an admin girl, which is kinda stupid since I am dyslexic.:rolleyes:

Anyway, my designs have always been slightly ott, and I try to change my style as often as I can. I have no idea what story my example above states, other then the fact I was a women in a bad mood when I designed it lol. I try not to have the photo(s) do all the work. I have seen some designs where its literally just all cropped photos, which is cool but I just feel like Ive done a half assed job. So I work the images around my artwork rather then the other way around. I have a website but I am still tweaking and adding new work to it.

Emma.

Welcome to GDF Emma! You're talented! You should look into getting into design for pay if it's what you love to do.

Welcome to the GDF, Emma. Enjoy the insanity!

[kerrysmagicshirt]

Hiya Emma - really like your work there - some real depth. As Pixel 8 said
POST SOME MORE - or a link to your pseudo finished site would be ace ;)

See what you miss when you give in to sleep, M?

I know, I know. But that Nyquil knocks me out like nobody's business.

[JPnyc]

You're still sick? That's unnaturally long. You sure you're not just allergic to cats? :)

[morea]

I had a nasty sinus infection, which finally got knocked out by antibiotics (I sucked it up and paid the $60 to go to the doctor. Not having insurance stinks!) and now I think it's just seasonal allergies hanging on.

My lungs are all juicy.

[Emmanize]

Thanks for your welcomes guys :). I have just changed my style slightly so I am doing more design work as we speak. Had a bit of a naff design day today though :o . I will link you to my site when it’s all done and updated :D .

Heres another I did last week

Slightly different to the one I did the other day at the begining of this post. Its more basic then the other and again I have no idea why I did it lol.

[Mynock]

So who do I PM if I have issues with Ned?
