I reblogged this photo set when the bride here first posted it under the “forest” tag, it’s quite sad to see only this one without the others, they were all so beautiful! What a lovely wedding.

DIY New Circle Skirt App from By Hand London here. The actual app is here. What I really like about this app is after you plug all your data in the app tells you the fabric length required:
with a note to say whether it will fit on a standard 45″ / 115cm width fabric…
or whether you’d be better off using a 60″ / 150cm width fabric…
or perhaps even just going with a shorter skirt length.
- DO sharpen gifs. DON’T sharpen caps for picspam.
- when making picspam, cap choice is just as important as coloring.
- when you color, enhance what is already there. don’t take a yellow cap and try to turn it purple. it’s going to look ridiculous.
- it’s better to under saturate that over saturate.
- that tumblr trend with the chopped words lazy minimalism scratched out face etc that you think looks neat and everyone is doing seems like a good idea now, but its not. its not a good idea.
- start an inspiration folder and use it when you want to start something new. that doesn’t mean ”copy other people work” but break other graphics down and do your best to try to mimic the effect for your own knowledge. everybody learns by imitation. you can make it your own. i’ve had mine for 5-6 years now and its the best thing i ever did..
- if the typography looks questionable, it probably is. that goes for most things. trust your instincts.
- don’t stress about the fact that you “don’t have your own style”. some people take years to develop a recognizable look to their work. its okay. you will.
- ANYBODY can be good at photoshop. ANYBODY. theres no creative gene that makes you pre disposed to photoshop superpowers, and its insulting to assume that some people are naturally better because it invalidates the years of suffering they went through to be as good as they are. Your favorite graphic makers didn’t get out of bed and master PS. YOU DON’T NEED ANY ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE TO START PHOTOSHOP. photoshop is something that takes practice, but you aren’t broken. you aren’t hopeless.
- arial bold italic with a +1 or 2 stroke for dialogue text.
- when applying textures, soft light and screen are your best friends, and (probably) lower the opacity.
- if you use a popular texture, always try to make it unrecognizable.
- put your textures under your color layers always.
- even if you screw up a lot, never stop experimenting. you don’t have to post every failure, but screwing up is part of learning.
- idk or just ignore me
Badass trips on a not-so-badass budget.
Many travel blogs are written by people who’ve sold all their possessions and have taken a huge plunge into the world of long-term travel. This can sound expensive at first, but when you consider that you don’t have rent or a car payment in this…
@ladygaga: why do people look at me like I’m crazy when i use coupons at grocery or try bargaining at retail, IM FROM NEW YORK WHERE IS THE SALE RACK
These are some of my favorite pictures from this year. Mostly for photographic reasons. In this coming year, I want to work on refining my style and improving the photography bit of things.
Thank you to everyone for the lovely and kind words you lot send to me. Happy holidays to you all.
oh boy here comes the slew of vitriolic Jennifer lawrence hate for things she can’t control
Cleanse me Lord and rid me of this white skin
Kids are fucking horrific i don’t want any of them
westerners are obsessed with the idea of happiness as if it’s a constant state of being. happiness comes in moments. you dont “achieve” happiness. you experience it along with every other emotion on the spectrum. if you spend your life chasing this constructed idea of happiness you will never even be remotely content. work on being whole and feeling everything while increasing the happy moments. stop trying to be a “happy person.” just be a person.
