I do when I'm vectoring and when I'm webdesigning, that's about it.

I think it'd be a bit hard to do it with emotes XD

I would like to do that, but I am lacking in drawing skills.

^lol. you don't need particularyly good drawing skills.

i do. i draw a box for content and orient my header/image accordingly. if there's people, i draw a lump circle atop an crooked oval. i erase and redraw with the image and other content boxes till i'm happy.

btw, i'm actually not that bad of an artist. i'm just spectacularly lazy.

spectacularly lazy huh? me too.......

blah I'm not a very creative thinker, so I just start with the computer/pscs and through thuoghts into it, and then procrastination gets me and I leave it and never get back to it.

Nah, I never draw. When i first started designing my friend told me to draw it out but the ideas just wouldn't get to me and so I just went straight to the computer instead.

I've done it once, but I never even made it!

Yes, always. It's apart of the creative process and one of my favorite things about designing.

I usually only sketch on paper first when I'm having a hard time thinking of a new website layout arrangement.

Well, I basically just suck. And I mean... I wouldnt design anything that I didnt like, and I dont like my drawings.. So yeah
thats just how it works out. heh.

Maybe I will try one day, to sketch up something. And perhaps it will turn out nicely. but idk.

Yeah i do if i dont have any ideas of what to make.

a part, yes, but not a BIG part in my opinion, i dont think that will make or break you as a designer, not that you SAID that

i am just saying

Only in advertising projects.

No, I just design on the computer. I tried drawing an idea before, but it never worked out for me lol. I think it's nice drawing graphic sketches and then vectoring the sketch in illustrator or something. =] I do that once in a while.

A couple of times when I was trying to figure out ways to reorganize my MySpace. I'm not very good at drawing things out.

Man, I wish I could do that. But whenever I draw something--it never coems out that way online.

i find that i design best if i just start with a blank canvas and work it out layer by layer...no drawing for me. i cant draw lol

sometimes i do if i get a good idea and i'm in school or something but usually i don't

that's sad, drawing and going from there is a really good way to get things the way your brain really wants them

its subconshous.






[dear grammar/spelling nazi's,

subconshous is spelled wrong on purpose. deal.]

Even in my writing classes in high school/college, my teachers could never get me to do any sort of prewriting. If it was ASSIGNED, I would wait until after my paper was finished and do it then, make it look like I'm planning. I just write so much better when I dive into it and edit as I go. Same thing with programming, my professor will ask us to turn in our pseudocode and I always forget, so I just write something up after I'm finished with the project.

I suck at planning. My work comes out better if I just do it. Sometimes if I'm bored and I don't have a computer in front of me, I'll map out a design, but I hardly ever follow through with that plan.

same here... when i'm fixing my website, i start to map out links on paper and write down ideas on how i want my layout

Yeah..sometimes in class, when we watch a REALLY boring video..I 'daydream' ideas of what my next layout should look like
but I rarely draw it out

A lot of the time my photo manipulations are inspired by the original stock image, so I work from there. But if I have a really, really specific direction I want to work in, then I will make a very rough sketch. Rough as in stick figures and more labels than actual drawings. haha.

Haha for MySpace DIV layouts in school I'll do draw em` out first. Lol.

I do, sometimes. It depends on what it is., but usually, drawing comes out much cleaner :/ Idk why.
