In the past few weeks I seem to have forgotten that I am a designer. It’s hard when you design for yourself sometimes. I don’t have a constant supply of motivation as if I were working for someone else and yet I have more motivation for designing for my store than I would if I were doing it just to try and get other people’s approval. It’s an anomaly that I would like to know happens to other people but I’ve never heard of it.
Business models are changing slowly across a variety of professions and design is no exception. The problem is that when you are on the cusp of major changes in an industry the money is not soon to follow. But then I have to ask myself is money even the real motivation? I mean I have kept this blog and writing articles for Associated Content despite the money. I sent product samples to promote the store even though I had to spend money and take a significant loss. I have 276 products in the store and have totally redeisgned everything multiple times just because I like it.
Money obviously has nothing to do with it. Don’t get me wrong I have sold quite a few things from the store and some of those have been quite unexpected but I just wish there was something in it that seemed like it would really take off and be worth something to more than just me. My travel overseas later this year is definitely going to be some inspiration for me and hopefully will yield some more new designs. I had a goal which I didn’t reach for the store but I’m extending it to the end of the year so I’m looking forward to reaching it.
