Why is it whenever I have to create something for someone else I make stuff I like but when I try to design my own site I make nothing but crap. Anyone else have this problem?

you are your own worst critic or something.

Totally!
I'm working on this site for a band right now, doing it on the cheap because A) I know bands don't have much $$, and B) trying to get things into my portfolio.
Also working on a new site for myself that is probably the 5th version several years and I'm trying not to get frustrated with it.
The site for the band, though, is totally different than anything I'd do for myself and I'm loving that. Learned some cool stuff in Illustrator and they've been really pleased with the design.
But my own stuff - I just can't ever get excited! :D

Ditto times three!
I don't understand.
My business card I worked on for years then one day had the opportunity to "piggy back"it on a clients job. Did it in an hour.
Go figure.

I think it's easy for one to abstract and compartmentalise external concepts - but overwhelming to attempt to define and distill one's own characteristics.
Or something.
- Crouwel0
Jesus.
- Nairn0
Hardly.

Hmmm. Anyway.
What's all this kerfuffle between aliceblue & salisae?

salisae's in the huff cos she's not getting half my pay from the naming job.
Not over mine, or my lawyers dead body, and I WILL use him as a human shield.
