Wow, my first was some crappy avatar for a forum. It looked like crap because I just took a google image and added some filters. My first web design was pretty rough too. I'm getting better though :P

Hehe, the first website I ever made, now about 10 years ago, was really crappy. Didn't even took care of the loss of quality in JPEGs when saving them at the lowest quality and stuff

I've learned so much since then...

It doesn't exist anymore if you wanted to know

My first design was a logo for a competition in a forum I was a member of. I am going to see if I can find it. It was all oranage and it was drawn in ms paint. I think it was for a company called vietcall or something a company that sells phone cards in vietnam. It was awful.

My first paid design was from a massive multi player online gold seller. I did a website layout and it was pretty bad now that I look back on it.

Ohemgee. Same! My first web design had bevel & emboss buttons with ROUNDED edges and a fancy typeface. I don't even wanna think about it now, lol.

I can't really remember what was my official first "design" though. What qualifies?

Speaking of the bevel and emboss, check this out.

It was a design I did for a college project. I thought it was awesome at the time, now it makes me very sad.

I wouldn't call it a design, but my first "home page" had a tiled gif animation as background! ;D

I've actually managed to find some old Photoshop works, that I'm brave enough to show you. But it's... So sad :P

A cover for a beatles-remix, for some school project - http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/3105/beatlesut3.jpg

And then just playing around with brushes and showing off that I just learned how to make reflections!!! hehe http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/4...cedtechee0.jpg

And a lousy attempt on a portfolio site - http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/2567/homelw7.jpg

I thinks this trash is about 4-5 years old :)
