oh biz biz biz

I have spent 4 digits already for my "capital" of my new business, made a lot of sample invites and souvenirs, yet came up with only 4 samples for wedding invitations, and 3 samples for kiddie souvenirs. and among those 7, there's just 1 which I really like (not even SUPER like or 100% like, but just about 50% like). gee, seriously I'm suffering from OCD!


i like just these choco boxes :-|

they're in a multiply site right now but I'm soo not impressed with my own work so I won't publicize that multiply accnt yet. besides my personal deadline is on mid march. dry run palang to ikanga. hehe.

though I've shared the site to a few friends last weekend. accdg to a guy friend, if he's to marry, he won't purchase the invites coz they look like wallpapers. OUCH! but gosh, I really appreciate that comment! makes me want to make a better one!

given that, and the fact that I need to put in more variety, looks like there's a lot more work waiting for me this weekend! but with more motivation, as I think of these FACTS: 1) sometimes coming up with a marketable product is a tedious process of trial and error 2) in putting up a business, all your money goes out. and out. and out. nothing comes in at the start. that's why it's called a risk!

the new perspective: after consulting some of my friends, I realized that before designing something, I must always start with the question "will I purchase this if I'm the one who's getting married?" or "If I'm a kid, would I love this souvenir?". I guess that's a very important key, before you sell something... find out if you want the product for yourself!

this is becoming DRAINING

...but in a fun way :)
