This post is for two types of people. If you’re an artist or work creatively you know that sometimes you spend a ridiculous amount of time tweaking, and perfecting, and editing and nudging a project into submission.
No matter what you do it seems that it doesn’t exactly line up with what’s in your head. To you folks I want you to know you’re not alone. It happened to me today, making this little Gif for my Steemfest blogs.

I know right? Kinda underwhelming after all the hype, but I like it. The design was the easy part, which I started in Canva, brought over to Keynote, exported as a quicktime and converted with Gifbrewery. Then I used Cloudapp to upload them and a web service called gifmaker.org to link it with my standard footer, so they’d play one after another on a repeating loop.
An infinite tribute to my OCD if you will…
I know it will be worth it in the end we’re in travel mode. Having a little embed link I can just drop into the bottom of my formatted templates for Steemfest posts means I can focus on Creamy & Delicious Pasteis de nata, and not worrying about how my posts are going to look while posting from mobile.
The second type of folks this post is for, is the non-creative types. Yes we need you in the world so dearly, or buildings and bridges would be made of cotton-candy and kit-kat bars and nearly nothing would get finished. Trust me, we appreciate you. Just let this little post serve as a window into the effort and time it takes to make something look awesome. When an artist quotes you, it’s more than likely based on their time and effort rather than the final output.
So try not to full-on spit take when you see the number at the bottom of the quote ;)
Until we speak again!
