Tidbit Tuesday: Don’t Be That Guy
NayMarie December 27, 2011
Please, whatever you do, don’t be that person (male or female). You know the one. Always in the forums, groups, and chat boards with the pompous demeanor. They either actually have valuable experience but come across as an a-hole when giving information and critiques or, even worse and more common,

Tidbit Tuesday: The Great TF Debate
NayMarie November 22, 2011
This is another To Do Or Not To Do discussion! For anyone who is unfamiliar, TF is an acronym for Trade For. TFCD = trade for CD, TFP = trade for print, etc. Pros: When building, or rebuilding, your portfolio on a small or extinct budget, TF shoots can be

Tidbit Tuesday: Noise Isn’t Skin Pores
NayMarie November 8, 2011
This post is a followup to my previous post Tidbit Tuesday: Skin Pores Are Beautiful! Most people have seemingly gotten it together and understand now that poreless skin without highlights, shadows, and midtones doesn’t look close to being realistic, but now a lot of people have jumped on the bandwagon of adding

Tidbit Tuesday: The Background Matters
NayMarie November 1, 2011
Have you ever seen an image that was beautiful yet cluttered and you couldn’t figure out why? I’d place my money on the table that the background did not receive as much attention as the foreground resulting in conflicting emotions. For a flawless image, it is not only essential for

Tidbit Tuesday: Relationships > Contacts!
NayMarie October 18, 2011
All relationships include contacts but not all contacts include relationships. A lot of networkers like to fill their smart phones with as many phone numbers and emails as possible; now this isn’t a negative thing but it’s only truly beneficial when there is a relationship to compliment the information. We

Tidbit Tuesday: To Print or Not To Print… That is the Question…
NayMarie September 27, 2011
In this digital age, it seems as if printing has become extinct. Most designers produce digital illustrations and that’s how they remain… digital.

NayMarie September 20, 2011
Ironically I drafted this post a few weeks back and now I’m in a situation where I am doing this very thing. There’s nothing wrong with opening old portfolio work and touching them up… a section is too dark, too bright, too colorful, too dull… fix it! It’s like a
