I agree

If you want to get better or learn something new in your craft, you have to stretch your limits and try things, things that may be uncomfortable to you at first.

Even in screwing something up, there is always learning involved that can be applied in some other fashion

Author said ” I think it is vital to set yourself personal projects,”. I whole hartedly agree. Unless you make a committment to your self to finish a project, working out all the bugs, you’ll never suceed.

Nice Article. Anyway, we have to learn from the experience and look for new technologies. I used to test designs even that is not for commercial in my spare times. So, I can get experience from that.

Very cool, Tara! Glad to hear things are still going with the Weather Pops!

As for personal projects, I’m working on my blog redesign these days. I’m really enjoying experimenting with different looks and picking up some good Photoshop techniques along the way.

I also like doing the PS tutorials from PSDtuts, not just reading them. I pick up on how or why they do certain things and that allows me to apply them in other situations.

It’s a really good book, I read it cover to cover in 3 days.

I’m on a Mac as well so I might have to have a go with Cheetah. It looks quite cool.
