Why do so many people post their "unfinished" or "temporary" or "splash page only" portfolios in the PBS? What's the point of looking at it if it's unfinished?
Designers: finish your work before you post it! Otherwise, put it on the PVN for a crit or something.
Am I right or am I trippin?

(Jan 18 05, 08:25)Ah, I disagree with you, fusion. That's the problem with designers (me included) -- we never know when to finish. But in the real world, you gotta finish, and move on to the next thing. Otherwise, you could fiddle with something forever. Design is not about perfection, it's about production and impact.

Would you conside a blog a finished product?or what about those sites that post news every so often? is it a day when they say. enough no more news since this site is "completed"

Nah, a blog is not what I'm referring to. Obviously, blogs are constantly being added to -- inherently, they change.
But for example, what if someone posted their blog in the PBS and said: "Check out my blog! But keep in mind that the design of it isn't final yet." What's the point? I say finalize the design, and give us a reason to check it out from a design perspective.
Or, don't tell us it's temporary. Just change it when you're done.
