This post is part four of the series, completing my about page with more than just short paragraphs.

Design is a theme which is getting bigger all around the internet more and more. More and more people call them selfs designers and talk about design, inspiration and creativity — I’m not going to exclude me from that! But I found out that I can criticize design but creating something completely out of my own is nearly to ‘not possible’ — the effect is that I respect everyone who has that gift to create something out of his own — , at least not now.

Creating something for me, like a web-design or my business-card works great cause I have as much time as I need to get a inspiration but if I need to get something done for a other person with other thoughts on design it’s hard for me to come up with something creative — and that in a reasonable time. I don’t say that I’m not good at design — but I do not say that I’m good at design either. I think — like everything you have a passion in — you can learn it. Great thoughts on that were written by Michael Mistretta who wrote a post about ‘The Myth of Talent‘ and that’s how I think about my passion on design. Design is something in what, as far as I can tell, I don’t have talent in but if I spend time and effort I can come up with something great, it just takes time.

Design is a great thing, a great area and for sure a interesting theme, with information about it all over the internet. For me design is a passion, creating something can be hard and mostly takes a lot of time.

Some weeks ago, I decided that I will not spend much time into design in the next few month cause I need the time to learn other things but I definitely will not give up the design passion. I’ll train my skills and I’ll spend time and effort, just not now and that’s OK for me.

Next is Thoughts on Project Management. Stay tuned for part five of the series. If you want let me know your feedback or maybe tell your story.
