We thought we were a little ambitious to develop our own CMS (as there were only 2 person working on this project) but we decided to start small and simple anyway.

Recalling the previous Jakarta trip I had last year, I went to a showroom of a high class apartment. Below are the images:

It’s posh, isn’t it? Anyway, that was just a sidetrack. When I toured around the master bedroom, there was a little white book lying on the bed. “IT’S NOT HOW GOOD YOU ARE, IT’S HOW GOOD YOU WANT TO BE”, that was the title and it’s simple enough to make me want to grab the book at The Borders.

One simple sentence meant so much to me. Often, designers feel discouraged when their works do not meet their expectation or are not good enough compared to others. However, the sentence reminds me that design is not all about talent alone but also hard work and experience. I guess that it can be applied to most aspect of our lives: business, relationship, education, etc. When one knows that he is not good enough, the most important thing is to have a humble heart and a “never give up” attitude - He must admit that he is not good enough and he has to start learning to improve himself. It was said that if you are willing to spend 5 minutes of your time focusing and practicing one particular activity daily, you will be the master of it 5 years later.

In the next few posts of our blog, we will showcase our very own designers’ past works and draft design. As we grow (as a company), we definitely want to see improvement in our work and hopefully, Dream Accent could achieve a world class design standard near future.
