    i know exactly what you mean.. you can see it so clearly in your mind but can't get it to come out on the screen. AND it's hard to explain to someone else too.

                  Would you give up one of the skills that you ARE good at, to be a designer?

                  We all have different talents. Stick to your strengths, and let others help you with theirs.

                        did you set it to 572 pixels or 572%? Make sure it's 572 pixels...572 isn't that big of a table.

                              Turn the border of the table off and remove the inner shadow on the top text and your gallery will look much much cleaner

                                Getting there but I think he is right try the border turned off and its will look cleaner if you get rid of those 2 landscape thumbs and replace the images with portraits

                                  Also might wanna try putting all the thumbs and logo etc in one big table that is pink then change the page back ground colour to white or some thing.


                                  Try putting a border on just the big table.

                                  Insert new table rows 1 collums 1 border 2
                                  Then change the border colour on that table to some thing other than default grey

                                      i was told by someone i dont have enough thumbs so i thought something like this


                                      would link the test thumbs to a larger headshot or something of some other ' models '

                                            i'd add more thumbs but im worried about giving the surfer to much

                                            you know .. wanna get them to click not blow it before they can get out the CC

                                              Chris, you're going to need more thumbs. I would shoot for 15-20 pictures per gallery, try to stay closer to 15. Looks like you're pushing a facials site, don't post the actual facial but lead up to it. Possibly add a link telling the surfer where he can find the facial.

                                              A lot of people like using graphics on their galleries, which is fine, but you need to remember that search engines don't read graphics. Add a little text at the top and center of the page, telling the surfer what's going on and what he can expect at Amateur Facials. The search engines will pick up on this text as well and you may find yourself getting a little traffic from Google a month or two down the road.

                                                    I am a graphic designer myself, and I understand what you mean... Most of the work I was drawing in school was never as good as in my head...which makes you deppreciate your work, even if the others are impressed...you only feel disappointed...

                                                    The thing I learned from that is the more you know, like in Photoshop or Illustrator or matching colors or whatever, the better you will be able to reproduce the masterpiece you have in your head.

                                                    keep learning.

                                                        I totally agree with you. It is quite frustrating to have these ideas yet you dont know how to get them out.
