I don't know if I have to keep my web site like this (is it so bad?) or "waste my time" and make an another one.

make another one..
a site can translate your feelings to be shared with others.
let us know your pain and let us comfort you.

thank you...
funny. I just received an e-mail from a guy I hardly know, who read what I wrote right here and who's telling me I have "talent" (that's the right word in English)
I know the work of the guy - he's a great designer.

Lychee, don't be so sad, you have already begun surrounding yourself with designers here on NT, look for friends to collaborate with, design another site like you said, make one artsy the other more commercial serious that you can show to prospective clients, design a business card for youself to hand out, make some downloadable wallpaper from the cool images you designed on your site (btw, their really impressive, make them bigger, the should be seen), learn flash that will cheer you up and make you not sleep at night, make yourself a logo, music poster, cd cover, just pull out ideas from thin air and design the heck out of them... and don't worry what you did or didn't study at school (i'm an art director and my undergraduate is in psychology)... so you too can make the world better through design!

o yeah for sure...
it can create a new light with in your self.
it can be anything...
what ever you feel like..
who cares about links and other stuff.. just do what ever you want to do..artists make art cause they just want to.

thank you very much.
good. i studied in political science, so maybe i'll the chance to be a designer and to change the world in the same time? :)
I had a funny idea... I will make some poster I will put everywhere in my neiborough (I,m sure I didn't write it well, it's too hard in English) Something about war. Probably from the image "it's not enough" you might have seen in my portfolio.
You're right, maybe I should make my images bigger...

I have become an introvert. It's just me and the monitor and photoshop and fireworks and the brilliant work here.
I am completely addicted to design. I am not the least bit artistic and I suck, but I love it and I'm 100% dedicated to becoming better.
Finding this place is the best thing that happened to me in many ways.
But at the same time, this (design) has become such an important part of my life that I don't have as much in common with my old pals as I used to.
So in many ways I'm lonely.A lot of times I'm kind of afraid to show what I'm doing because I just don't stack up against the talent here.
I had thought about going to a Boston meetup some time...anyone else go to those?

- Lychee0

and how did you become a designer? :)

start your own.
Inspiration is everywhere, open your eyes and look for it. Go to the book store and look at magazines and design books. Go to the mall and watch people. Go to the movies.
If you want to be a good designer, you'll have to learn how to find your own inspirations.
