If you have an eye for design

or if you're developing one, how often do you get the urge to fix something that irks you so much? Posters, billboards, typography, a layout, a graphic, colors that contrast or clash too much, bad coding, etc.?

Also, do you just stare at something because it appeals to you design-wise? I'll stare at a shirt with an amazing pattern/design and see if I can remember and recreate it in my own way digitally. Of course, I forget and I can't recreate it but I'll just stare and get weird looks.

Aw, books with those are cute. But not usually ones I pick up to read.
I like stuff more like flight
Man, I love looking at covers for fantasy novels!

I am not sure the rules on advertising, but I am also a member at a website called Threadless. much like this people submit graphics for t-shirts, and the members if Approved get to vote on them for 2 days, thus deciding if the shirt is actually put put into creation.
I bought this shirt, for 15.00 it's pretty much amazing.

"Life on Gi-Raph paper.
Pretty Original.


and Davinci, my grades so far is a B-minus, the little video can be found at www.youtube.com/lncfilms (we've made several remakes since then)

Also, I agree that minimal graphics are difficult to make, sometimes the avatars only need a shading of light on them, but I always insist adding text,borders,gradients..filters...almost over doing them. But when I'm done, I feel like over doing it, displays my talent better? Silly philosophy I know.
Aww. Life on Gi-Raph paper. That's so cute!

And I'm Mona. =) And that's not bad.

Yeah, I used to overdo my avatars. Now, I usually just edit levels, curves, colors, add gradients/textures/text and that's pretty much it. They look prettier now, imo.

True. If you can do a great job with using as little things as possible, that's talent.

Yes, I do stare when I see something that has an appealing design. I tend to express my feeling in words too, but the people around me just think I'm weird.
Words are overrated!
