Client Intimidation
This is the "disappearing post" I mentioned earlier. If it causes some kind of cosmic rift, it's all Brian's fault for telling me how to resurrect it from the grave.
I just fired off a solicited proposal to redesign the website of a well-known area art museum, and I'm feeling a little nervous about the prospect. I mean, I know that it appears that I have mad art skillz, but, really, that's a river that's a thousand miles wide and a nanometer deep. Whatever that means.
Anyway, I'm excited about the prospect, and I'm taking some comfort in my philosophy that the design should be about the art and not, well, the design, if that makes sense. After all, some of the most respected art museums in the nation have very approachable websites, and, if nothing else, I'm approachable. (That is, if by approachable one actually means simple.)
Stay tuned...
I know you can do it, Eric!

Posted by: Rachel at December 6, 2006 08:55 PMJanie, Rach...thanks for the encouraging words, but I think Mark's really onto something. With a big box of crayons (w/sharpener), we're all unstoppable!
Posted by: Eric at December 6, 2006 09:06 PMWell, "solicited" speaks volumes! When the man upstairs opens doors, walk through them, crayons or not!
Posted by: Janie at December 6, 2006 09:15 PMOoh!!! You'd be SO good! Hope it works out!
Posted by: Phyllis at December 6, 2006 11:03 PMYour art skillz, with or without Crayolas, and your approachable design skillz make you the perfect candidate. Hope you get the job.

Well, I must say I am a bit intimidated by this post...but I think said "mad art skillz" could only be improved by the application of select crayolas from a 128 box (w/sharpener). This almost has all possible colors, and what true "art" can't be done with 2 dollars worth of crayolas.
Good luck....
