Outsource the rest...

In a previous post, I posted a link to an interview with the Urbanspoon guys and if there is anything that I found more agreeable in what they said it's this:

"Stick to what you're passionate and interested in and outsource the rest"

I can't for the life of me ever get into a creative project that involves creating logos, color schemes, fonts, etc. Knowing this, I will probably never ever in my life work the front end of a website.

So with this project, I'm content to being able to develop a PHP backend accessing a mySQL database. With this in mind, my end product will be a bare bones beta version that will have no aesthic quality to it whatsoever. But it's gonna work and it's gonna work great!

So when it's time to make this project look pretty, I'll probably post a contest to the site 99designs.com Check it out! I like the concept. You put together a brief of your project, you name your price and people out there will compete on it. If you find one that works for you, you can comment and fine tune, provide feedback and get a better quality design. If you're not satisfied, then you don't have to pay.

Simple as pie. Like they said, "Stick to what you're interested in and passionate about and outsource the rest."
