Well, harder for me anyway.
I really enjoy just about every aspect of putting a new site together or relaunching an old one. But there's one activity I always get stuck on - creating the favicon.
The favicon is the little 16x16 pixel image that shows up in your browser's address bar. It's about the size of a line of text so it fits nicely there and in your favorites drop down menu.
The problem is the favicon is only so big, so you're basically limited to whatever image you can draw with 256 dots.
If you pay attention to that sort of thing you know there are some good ones and a lot of not so good ones. The first one I did for this site back in the last century was just an array of squares of varying colors. I thought that was pretty original. Evidently several others did too, because I see that simple pattern in a lot of places.
These days I use Photoshop to create something sort of abstract and eye-catching. I doubt I'll ever win any awards for my Photoshop prowess or my favicons, but at least each one is original and reflective of the site it belongs to.
