Simplicity

Wed Mar 11, 2009, 9:06 PM
I'm always nervous whenever I make a really simplistic design and how it'll be received. I guess that old fear of people saying, "Anyone can do that," still eats away at me. I've heard it plenty of times throughout my life where my writing and thoughts have been concerned. So, when I do a design I try to use overcomplexity to make it so nobody but me (and a lot of designers) could even hope to recreate it.

I felt that way about my Nikon campaign project and now I feel the same way about my Ripples On The Pond book cover. When it's way too simple I get really nervous about it. Which I'm told I shouldn't, because not everyone can see something that simple despite thinking anyone could do it. I guess that's the way I should look at it. And for the most part I do. But that little voice is always in the back of my thoughts telling me otherwise.

Oh, I do. You do nice work on these people who barely have images. Well, outside of the PT and OT people. Do you post at the JC?
"Do you post at the JC?"

I do: I have the same username, and have a thread in the Fan Art forum there (you'd find a lot of the same art there, though--repeats!)--if you're interested in seeing more good art there, take a browse through some of the most active threads. :nod: It's actually a terrific community, the JCF--lots of discussion, lots of passionate fandom! ;) I hit the Lit board there a lot, too, just to sample what others are thinking about recent books/comics/plotlines, etc.

Cool. My name there is Fire_Ice_Death. I usually post on the Senate Floor so I'm a bit of a grumpy bastard these days. I'll keep an eye out for your stuff and I'll scrounge the fanart forums.

Yeah--check out the Fan Art threads--lots of great stuff in there, too!
