So, what is in your opinion the difficult parts when it comes to designing. When it comes to LP's, it has to be stocks. It's hard to find good usable free stocks. It's frustrating sometimes, because you have the concept of the LP in your head, but you can't bring it over in PS, because you don't have the right stocks. And skins, hmm, concept. But when you get a good concept, everything is easy. Well, most of the time.  How about you? |

Starting defines the entire piece.
I usually start with the backdrop, which can change several times throughout. But I just have to decide what I want to do exactly. Plus when you're stumped it's really hard.
When to finish is easy, it's when you like the piece.

It's also hard to take a sketch you have and actually construct such piece on your computer, especially when you can't find the correct stocks (that's the hardest thing). |

And skins, hmm, concept. But when you get a good concept, everything is easy. Well, most of the time. Yep. Once, I could not come up with any idea that fit my old Forum's theme and name and stuff. It took me weeks. But when I came up with just one idea, it sparked about ten others. Also, the hard part with skins is getting the colors to blend, yet not look "dull". For me at least... |

The scheme is also important for a skin to look good. I always get my schemes to look dull. <.< Starting defines the entire piece.

It's also hard to take a sketch you have and actually construct such piece on your computer, especially when you can't find the correct stocks (that's the hardest thing). Hate that. I have this concept in my head right now, but can't bring it over in to Photoshop. Due to the lack of good quality stocks. iStock has what I need, but I'm not going to BUY a stock.  Best thing to do, in my opinion, is just browse around in stock sites and look for the best stocks, and try to think of a concept for a lp or whatever your going to do. |

Yeah, I know of it. But still, most of the time can't find what I need. o: *checks* Thanks!  Paying for them is good, but you'll only use them once. Buying a stock that could be used as texture is worth paying for. You can use it multiple times. |

My main problem is actually putting my concepts into execution. I usually forget certain parts half-way through the design...

You could write them down. |

Now there is a plan.

Just starting with a suitable concept is the most difficult part for me.
And yes, when to stop as well.

Haha, but it will still be the same. If I can't find the stocks for the pieces then they can't also, unless they have other methods.. |
