I dare not say that I'm an expert in digital imaging. In fact, if I'm being judged in terms of absolute expertise, I'm a novice.
However, I can proudly say that when it comes to applying my skills to my objective of directing the brand, design and presentation of THE CAVEMAN NETWORK family of websites, I'm the best man for the job.
The key for everyone who wishes to make a name for themselves in this dog-eat-dog (digital) habitat is to find your digital niche. That is, identify your strengths and apply them to the right places.
I was thrown into the world of what I call "web directing" when, not being able to afford a professional web designer to guide the artistic direction of my websites HotNonPorn.com and BabesInKorea.com, I taught myself how to create digital art.
In the process, I learned how to not only design, engineer and brand blogs, but was also introduced to the wonderful world of open source software. In my quest to become the best Web 2.0 Director I can be, I enlisted the aid of powerful open source applications such as Gimp and Inkscape.
Now, I'm sure an experienced design expert will be able to pick apart my web designs like Tom Brady picks apart NFL defenses during game-winning drives, but even before someone points them out to me, I'm aware of my shortcomings as an artist and how I need to work on them.
What someone would never be able to convince me, though, is that I should get out of the game. During the year of full-time webmastering and six months of web directing, I have progressed a ton :
In addition to running my original websites, I'm responsible for directing the creative direction of this brand new blog DigitalHordes.com (DH), which attempts to conquer the future thru the fun and insightful analysis of the practical applications and markets throughout the digital world. I've already been practicing on-the-job with DigitalGenghis.com, the Korean-language predecessor to DH.
While I'm confident that I've found my digital niche and that my potential in this field is boundless, I'm also grateful to those who have made it possible, directly and indirectly.
I would like to close by offering to give back to the community of digital nomads who have made my initial success possible by helping them find their niche.
After all, building a better world through mutual online and offline support amongst people is what Digital Hordes is all about. Sphere: Related Content
