I totally agree. I'm not a great designer either, really only resorted to designing as another form of income because coding work is nil. Well, it wouldn't be nil if I charged super low fees for it. And I can't / don't want to do that. Someone already told me to just design up a huge stack of designs, then when the market gets a little better, then have a clear out sale or something. I'd do that too, but, online income is all I have at the moment.
