There are times when I am surfing the web when my complete and utter lack of graphic design skills just hits me in the face like a two ton brick. Times when I stumble upon posts like this at WebDesignerWall that praise graphic design skills.

I must admit a certain envy of the creativity of graphic designers. I simply would never envision the beautiful sites they come up with. It’s not that I couldn’t code it, it’s that I’d never come up with it to start with.

Having me start up Photoshop is like having someone who hates to write open up a blank notebook and asking them to write a short story. I sit there and stare at the blank screen and proceed to come up with nothing whatsoever to put there. Sure, design is easy. You stare at the screen until your forehead bleeds. It’s just painful.

As a middle and back end programmer, seeing the front-end designs that some of these people come up with astounds me. Go check out the post and see if you aren’t impressed.

Got a different site that you think blows those away? Share in the comments.
