Evolution

I just realized that theres more than a year since I started learning web design. I didn’t even celebrate :P

I’ve started with the “Total Learning” DVD and continued with the tutsplus network. Mostly psd.tutsplus and vector.tutsplus.com. I did a lot of tutorials and learned a lot from the community. I have to say that smashingmagazine.com and psd.tutsplus.com are the most valuable resources in my development as a web designer.

When I bought the smashing book it was like injecting nanites full of information into my bloodstream. I still use it as a guide whenever I start a new project.
It thought me  about user interface, color schemes, typography, project management and a lot more.

I’d like to think that I’ve passed the beginner stage and I’m going towards medium-advanced web design.

I have a few projects that I’m looking forward to release. In the span of a few months I’ve been: web designer, UI desiner, UX designer, concept designer, software UI and UX designer and finally Project Manager.

I think I will be able to release design related content on the project that I’ve done concept design for. But that will probably happen in about a month or so.

In the meanwhile I’m doing UI/UX design and Project management.

Will update more info next week.

Creativity!

Creativity is the interaction of different disciplinary ways of seeing things.

This quote belongs to Sir Ken Robinson. At first sight it’s pretty abstract and that’s because it is taken out of context.
I recently saw a couple of short, 20 minutes each, videos where Sir Ken Robinson talks about a revolution in the education system, creativity and intelligence. He says that in order to be creative, first, you have to allow yourself to make mistakes.

If you are not prepared to be wrong then you will not be creative.
