Sorry I am getting back so late – The only way I came back was because I had gotten a referral from here. Odd. But cool.

Anyhow – I would not consider myself – as of yet – to be successfull, but I do consider my current design to be the most successfull one yet. I submitted it to many sites, but for whatever reason, it did not get featured. Oh well – better luck next time. As for some advice. What I am finding to be a leader in this industry isn’t by being on the computer at all. It’s by taking what you see, do and hear from the real world, and try to apply it to the web world. most often or not, what you see on the web is the result of something that happened in the real world. The challenge is to bring from the real world, what no one else as. Not invent a new usefull application that no one as before, just improve whats already there.

I hope that might clear something up? Oh and another thing – Networking with people is the best thing you can do. Really. This article is a great inspiration to get started – http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2004/05/getting-started-in-design

Thanks for the kind words! Email me if you have any other questions – I’ll be sure to answer them faster that way ;)

You honkey mofo. I agree. Stop waisting your time. We’ve had many discussions about how little time you have… DO YOUR GD DEVEROPMENTO! But if you insist on waisting your time, then come help me on my 8 million projects.

Damn it! They voted off Angie?!?! WTF! That tribe is doomed for failure. I missed the episode due to the now conflicting schedule with LOST. Nice site.

matt, i love your site. however, the image based text seems a little blurry. i don’t know if it is the typeface you are using or what. but, funny thing is the whole rounded rectangle thing. i think it looks really smooth and as you can see, i use it a ton on this site. i didn’t have it too much on the previous design, but definitely on this design. also, i like the fact that you strayed from the hugely popular diagonal stripes look and went with the vertical bars, nice touch and good use of color! i would also like to hear from your work experience as well matt and see if you have any advice to offer or any things that you have found to help you in this busy world of a million web designers.

Sounds like a personal problem there logie.

But might I say, you have a mighty nice blog/website here.

Good designs!

I believe you need to spend less time watching that god awful show and more time justifying your statement that this website is still under construction. It’s fantastic already. Why would you say this isn;t complete? Why?!?!?!? Okay I need to get back to work. I like your site.
