Not talented in anyway, I find extreme difficulty in churning out designs for the flyer/banner/sales kit/etcetc..

I kept re-editing what I did cos draft after draft, my "designs" are flawed. Now that I really have no time, I just have to force myself to accept whatever I have now.

I was never a creative girl. I always take the good points out of what others have done, then put them together to form my works. Had quite a lot of ideas, but due to limited budget and not knowing how to perform the functions I need in order to deliver what I really have in mind, I have to compromise.

"It could be better, IT could be better!" -- Haunts me nonstop that I kept trying to improve on what I have already done.

Anyways, I wanted pictures of happy children. So I gather my little cousins and took their photos. Alas, my Sanyo camera was lousy especially when taking photos in dimly litted places, my photos looked like SHITE. But I was happy that I made them look a lot better with my beginner Photoshop skills. hahahahhaa...Though, the photos still don't look good. There's a problem with the clothes they wear and their poses. Sigh..

And..having taken marketing with 'strategic brand management' as one of the very last courses I have taken in school, it has been bugging me quite a lot that I am not able to follow what I have learnt. A total integrated and consistent image, I have not been able to produce.

Actually, all these don't really matter that much. IT really doesn't take perfection to get the sales. There's one centre I visited with monthly turnover of more than $20,000. It is the only centre that is doing very well. The rest are all trailing way behind with some making losses. The place looks very bad, the teachers are bad, the promotion materials are all awful, and within the same vicinity, there are many more similar centres, but yet the place is filled with children and more children. WHY????? What's the magic? RElationship with parents? Relationship with children? Word of mouth? All the children's grades improved significantly after enrollment? Everything, I think.

Operations to deliver results, to make both the parents and children happy, is what is really important.

Aiyah, I shall stop typing this. :) Boring stuff.

Still in a melancholy mood coupled with stress.
