Struggling

Man I’m struggling today. This is what happens when you take on a job, thinking it will be a piece of piss to find images for, then you spend 5 hours looking for the right image, which never appears, so you look for an image you can use, which never appears, so you start looking for inspiration, which never appears. Eventually you start working on the design and it just doesn’t come together. This is the thing with design. Good design looks so effortless, the final product, you think, yeh that’s exactly right. It’s like with skating, the guys pulling the hardest tricks always look like they’re not really trying, just flowing through the air like they’ve got some kind of deal with gravity. It’s only when you see the slams you realise just how fucking badly things can go wrong when one tiny element of the trick is off. Anyhow back to my imagesearch - I must have looked at 10,000 plus images today, scrolling through, click, scroll click, wrong wrong wrong.
