'Twas my 17th birthday yesterday! Now I can learn to drive, which I'm rather looking forward to. ;)

In other news, I'm going to take a break from web design. I moved to the more corporate side of design a while back because there was the opportunity of money making, and to be honest, because everyone else was doing it, and I fancied a stab at the cake.

Unfortunately, it's got to the point where I don't enjoy opening Photoshop like I used to. Having to conform to specific styles, structures and constant formality drives me up the wall sometimes.

So, I'm taking some time of from that side of things, and I'm going to get back into digital art and concentrate a lot more on my photography. I'm looking to go into areas I've never tried before, the first being portraiture, so expect some new shots soon. ;)

I've been looking through all the art packs on slashthree, konvulse, evoke, depthcore .etc, and although I know I'm so far away from anything like that, I can't help but desire to throw myself at trying similar things. I see other people who have only been using PS for 2 years like myself, and I wish I could have spent my time better, and I wish I had got into this scene earlier.

Dayum. It's starting to sound like one of those ":( OMGLOLZ i wiSh I w0Z gud @ L1f3. :(" journals isn't it? =P

Unfortunately, I've got more important things to concentrate on, namely college.

Thanks for all the favs, watches and views guys. I appreciate it. ;)

The corporate side is where the money is at though... I do get tired of having to conform a bit to client specs... but in the long run the money and experience will give you more time to do what you like to have fun with.

There's always time to do everything... Happy Birthday Kid!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM! :cake:

Driving is lots of fun, I just booked my test yesterday for the 21st of April, so get to get lots of practice in before then. I'll miss seeing your webdesigns but I can understand your position, I can go for weeks where I just don't open PS or whenever I do, I can't make anything worth saving. Anyway, I look forward to seeing those portraits ;)

And thanks a lot for the feature :D

Thanks a lot mate. ;)

I'm not stopping web design for good. I just need to get some of my creativity back. I'm not looking to go into design for a career - it's just a hobby for me - and I'm really not fussed about the money. =]

I'm not stopping web design for good. I just need to change things up a little so I can come back revitalized! =P
