I know this may sound silly or self absorbed but I found the refrigerator effect has been something that keeps me wanting to improve and learn more.
That’s a big thing I love about CG Cookie is the dashboard with My Projects displaying your work like a refrigerator for a child’s work from school. IDK, to me it inspires me as I see improvements and things that need to improve all right there in one glance. It brings back memories of the work of things like how I did something I am having trouble remembering how I did it before and it jogs my memory to many other things. The collage of past work all in one place has been a real benefit to me. I have other work scattered in my hard drives that I have forgotten about because it’s out of sight out of mind. I guess I am using My Projects incorrectly but that is a major thing that keeps me motivated. Silly me, lol.
Importantly, I should add, is that the works of others as to what is possible is also very inspiring, I love all the works I am seeing in one place on a regular basis. So many creative works, from beginner to very skilled people is very motivating. Another reason I love My Projects.
