Gone Blank

Yawn, I don't know how cybling and others do it, but this 9th grader is out of ideas. So... I was wondering if any of you guys had any ideas on layour designs, and by this I don't mean by simpling saying... Top image, and two sidebars, I mean like design. Thanks.

Go to class, sleep, wake up, draw. Designs come to me like that. The key is to never pay attention in class.

You should expose yourself to different layout designs by then you'll learn the basics......internet is wide do research! ;)

Go out.. See life. Associate them with design, and there you go

exactly what they said, never good to design other peoples visions (unless its a customer and it =$ )

go to Borders/Barnes Noble --- Pick up (don't buy there to expensive) PRINT - layout books, and web layout books... look for some ideas in the print books and see how web people layout as well, i have found that 90 business clients don't like the internet -- and because of this i have won several clients because i showd them a layout that old business people would like because it is based in print ideology.

if you want to do a creative site then follow instructions above

Go to class, sleep, wake up, draw.

I came up with my design idea on my own...simple and easy to read, with subtle animations...nice chalk blue colour, content in your face and voila. Practice makes perfect, you DO NOT want to see my earlier stuff My site is quite old now, if i had the time i would make is even easier to navigate and read, in my opinion, less is more. www.linkdup.com is a great portal to very well designed sites.

step away from the computer. go to McDonald's. ask for an application. tell them charm sent you.

if you are in ninth grade and already out of ideas, then give up now. don't waste the world's time with uninspired designs!

how about a site about boobies? or how much your earth science teacher sucks?

In the 9th grade, I didn't even have a computer. Didn't even have a photoshop capable computer until I was almost out of college.

You need to learn art to begin with. You can't do photoshop and design web pages without first knowing what looks good and what doesn't. And nobody will be looking to hire you as a designer for at least another 5 years, "if" then.

don't take yourself too seriously. design for fun.

Just go out and mess around. worry later, when you have a mortgage and a family to feed. (Take it from me, I don't have either - and I mess around CONSTANTLY!)
