I
eventually started a graphic's site of my own, which led to two or
three sites, which then led to joining a forum with a hundred other
people that allowed us to "sell" our graphics to other web owners who
wanted to "buy" them. It became a full time job for me, from home. I
don't mean to brag but I was one of the TOP seller's on the site and I
had dedicated customers. I was making 100-1000 graphics a week
for websites and I was getting paid anywhere from 10 cents a graphic to
five dollars a graphic. It was definately enough money to live off at the time and something I was in love
with. After three years, my computer crashed, I lost everything I ever
made, all my tools, programs, and anything that would allow me to
continue. With that, I sold both of my websites for $2,000. My boyfriend
{who is my husband now} and I, took that money and got our first
apartment on the beach.
Web design, graphic making, and blogging are things that I will always have a passion for. And I am hoping that eventually
I will buy new programs, replace what I've lost, and do something
similar, but for now, atleast I have these photos to look back on - of
all my amazing layout changes on my site! Enjoy.
Jazzy-Jazz is
still up and running with the new owner I sold it to, back in 2008.
Although, my old (shittier versions of a layout) is still up and it has
never been updated once. You can still see my name there with all of my
information and every single graphic that I designed (and some that I
bought from other friend designers) on the site. Flawless-Space was
sold to someone else, who either sold it to another person, or combined
two websites into one - I don't often visit that site though because it
was just something extra for me, and I didn't love that one like I
loved Jazzy-Jazz. But feel free to check them out.
It's funny because when I was redesigning this blog and looking for CYSTIC FIBROSIS graphics, I came across a few different websites and I laughed because ALL of the CF graphics they had on their sites were ALL made by ME!
Back when I was selling them off to other sites. Nobody ever heard or
knew much about CF and just like keeping diabetes, cancer, and other
diseases awareness in people's minds (and computer screens) I came up
with a great idea to spread the word about CF and it worked. It's great
to see almost three years later after I designed the originals that they
are still floating around on the internet. It makes me proud <3
{ As you can see I changed my layouts very often, mostly with mood, and definately season }
