Time flies

Today I had a conversation with my boyfriend on how I sometimes am too much of a perfectionist. You might have read my earlier post when i told you about my indecisiveness and well, i still have many personal projects hanging just because of the fact that I cant make up my mind. And while i keep changing and modifying my designs over and over again time is flyyying by.

About two moths ago I managed to win on threadless with a tee -design I had submitted and ever since I’ve been working on new ones but I never finish them. Now that I know that I actually have a chance of winning (wich I never thought I would the first time around) I wont let any design go untill I feel its 100% worthy a win. :(

But today my boyfriend made a great point when discussing this on the bus…

What he told me was that I cant know if the design will win! And all this time Im wasting on trying to make them perfect into the smaallest detail i could have done 10 others, just producing and posting them up for voting. So it struck me! – ”Yes! thats true!! I might have been wasting time on something only I think is a ”sure” win, while i could have been doing so many more. And what if this ”diamond-design” ive been polishing for so long wouldnt get high votes?(as I for some reason have been taking for granted). What a waste!”

So I’ll just have to kick myself in the butt and make decisions.

I could keep tweaking my designs till infinity If i keep it up like this so I’ll just have to stop somewhere and hope that It’s good enough. Right now Im not getting anywhere with mydesigns so a step to ANY direction would be an accomplishment ^^. So from now on Ill speed up my designs and make sure they’re up for votes asap!

By the way, Inspired by many great photographers on this site I wanted to make a presentation picture for this entry inspired by their kool photos. I wanted to make a vintage-like picture with those type of colours Ive seen in many gorgeous photos. I made it within an hour ^^. Its really fun to put together pictures like this one in photoshop. First googleing for photos to use and then trying to put them together and make them look like a unit. A great challenge for the creative mind!
