Design and Redesign

Ok so I’ve finished the design for the site, would you believe I’m getting itchy again. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. It’s taken me soo long to get it the way I think I want it and now I’m having second thoughts. This is not normal. There are sites that haven’t had any modifications done to them in years. They get slightly updated here and there, and here I am already thinking about Version 3 of this site. I’ve promised myself that I wouldn’t get round to it until I complete a 3D model of CoCo. Until that happens and the image that I’ve got in my head actually becomes a reality, no redesign.

I guess my problem is that I do actually enjoy the design process, and I’ve got too many ideas. Always generating ideas, always wanting to try new things since I guess it’s really good fun, and a great learning curve. There are several areas of BK that I’d like to sort out, but I guess it’ll be something that I build upon. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and both content and ideas take time to accumilate.

I know it’s a complete waste of time for me to start building another site from scratch just for the fun of it when my current incarnation really doesn’t have anything wrong with it, but I guess it’s just a need for design I’ve got right now, inspiration calls. I know I’m not alone since Paul is forever creating beautiful designs all the time. Seriously he’s list of themes he’s made for his site are beautiful to look at. I guess I’m not the only one that gets itchy fingers.

Update: After sleeping on it, it’s not the design that’s at fault, I think I found out what I was unhappy with, and that’s the lack of detail. It’s too simple, which to be honest wasn’t actually the route I was going for. I wanted playful, and lively, fun, but simple wasn’t really one of them. As it’s gone that’s what I’ve ended with simpley because I wanted it to be useable. Right it’s time to bring it all together. Into a tight package. Live and learn I guess.
