??? Are you still uploading your pic?
That's a lot of reading. Honestly I don't think you need to read that much. The way I see it is, if you have a talent for design...The learning will come by exprience...this philosphy of mine might not make sense to you
...but that's how things happened for me. No one ever taught me how to make website, yet it's what I do for a living. I also do a little of what you want to do...and no one taught me that either. I'm curious to see what you've come up with. do you know how to upload pics? You could send them to me...and I'll upload them to my server.
