There are so many wonderful designers in SL. Just like the real world market, the variety of styles that one can choose from is vast. I have always been curious to know why people design. Are you motivated to make Lindens, are you driven to purley create or are you on a mission to beautifi SL?

I wanted to choose Create and Beautify but could only choose one. The money's not really an interest, but there was no choice for the latter two. =D

So I had to go with Create. :>

Also cuz my stuff is starting to look dated.... it's not beautiful any more. It was beautiful when it was new, now it's just old news. ;)

For me its about creating... Anyone who knows me .. I always have my head into something.. working away.. in SL or out of SL. May it be building or designing here or working on graphics for others or making websites for pure enjoyment. SL really allows me to be creative. And and yes I am on a mission to make SL purdy!!! muahahaha

I just like to make things. I've always had a big imagination, so I take great delight in being able to create anything I dream up.

When I was a little girl, I used to fantasize about the crazy things I'd create if I had genie-like powers. Now, in game, I have them. :D

I really would like to make money, but I spend all my time creating and wearing it, and don't think much about promotion or squeezing money out.

Don't qualify as a "SL Designer" by any stretch, but the urge is there -- the creative urge. While I think I understand the reasons behind it I think it's a shame that it costs L$ to upload textures -- in my case it will force me to add an economic motive, though my desire is to create stuff for free.
