Cue intro credits

Cue sound

I spent about 2 hours this late evening/early morning looking at CSS and HTML code, tweaking colors and fine tuning little elements that make the page.  After 2 hours and countless debugging, I gave up.  I looked at what I had finished and just saw something so plain that I can’t believe I spent so much time in it.  I just wasted time and effort to come up with a so-so design.  Back to the drawing board… but at this late a stage, where do I get inspiration?

I rummage through my files, looking for that spark.  I stumble upon the opening credits for the movie GATTACA.  This hits the spot.  Aside from being one of the more well made visual motion graphics out there, it reminds me of the movie.  The sound is so haunting and moving that it brings me back to the first time I saw it.  I am inspired.  GATTACA is a move about the triumph of the human spirit.  Even when all odds are against you, with passion you succeed.  It touches me.  I get inspired… but not to go back and code.  But to think about bigger things, things that I am passionate about.
