Something Different

I found myself faced with a serious delima while trying to complete a recent project. The project was to create web navigation buttons... A completely unique assignment. So almost to spite the instructor, I decided to try something different. I was tired of the Sci-fi and futuristic looks. I was sick of the grunge and elegent designs. Only something new would satisfy me. My nav bar was a version of hillbilly meets redneck with a splash of Bob Vila. So my delima centered around the question of ''is different for the sake of different ok"? While I would never want my name associated with a design like it, I can't say I was completely dissappointed with it. I could see a certain segment of the population wanting this style. So I say yes, different for the sake of different is ok. For no other reason then pesonal growth. So go out, and try mixing Martha Stewart with Jeff Foxworthy. Nascar and Tiffany's can be combined to make great design... Even if only in your own mind.
