Tattoos are art, plain and simple. The problem is coming up with the master piece that is worthy of being displayed on your body for the rest of your life. A tattoo is a statement about who you are and is the ultimate in self expression - so you've got to get it right!

So where do you start?

Looking at tattoo design pictures, that's where. Its simple, but effective. Its like doing research for anything. The more research you do, the better the end result.

The next question is where do you get good quality pictures of tattoo designs to start your research. Well, Im glad you asked.... There are many sources, but some provide better quality tattoo designs than others, as I will show you.

Online Designs

The lowest quality tattoo design pictures are the free pictures that abound on the internet. Don't get me wrong, some of the tattoo designs are great, but everyone has access to these pictures, so you can bet your bottom dollar there are a number of people around with the exact same tattoo design. Just imagine seeing someone else with your tattoo on them! That is why they are low on the quality ladder.

Flash at the Tattoo Parlor

Next is flipping through tattoo deigns at the tattoo parlor just before you get your masterpiece inked on you. Now, that is pressure! Again, the designs may be great, but you want to enjoy the process of choosing a tat, and come up with something unique, so never put yourself in that situation. If in doubt, don't do it. Keep looking.

Online Tattoo Galleries

Then there are tattoo designs that you can purchase over the internet. These are the most exclusive designs you can get straight off the rack. These days, due to the power of the internet, it is possible to download massive numbers of unique tattoo design pictures right to your computer to help you decide which design is for you. Also, there are some tattoo design products on sale that continue to update the tat designs even after you have made the purchase. You can even take the design of your choice to the tattoo parlor and get it modified to your own taste. Now no one will have your tat design!

Tattoo Artists

The ultimate source of a quality tattoo design, though, is to take an idea to the tattoo artist and get them to draw something up for you. Tattoo artists are experts at what they do, and they can guide you to a design that you are happy with. However, depending on how much of a design you take to the tattoo parlor, this is by far the most expensive.

Conclusion

Well, there are some sources to get you going on your search for that elusive (and hopefully exclusive) masterpiece. It all boils down to cost. How much are you prepared to pay to find your dream tattoo? Just remember that this is an investment in yourself and you will live with the design you choose for the rest of your life.

I spent ages searching free and pay galleries to find my tattoo. By far the best were three galleries I downloaded from the net, each with thousands of tattoos in each - they gave me so much to choose from, and I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. To help you find your dream tattoo, I have reviewed the best three packages. I have listed the tattoo categories in each package, so you know what you are getting. I am in the process of reviewing each package for specific tattoo designs. So far I have reviewed the Japanese Dragon, Chinese Dragon, Heart, Angel, Butterfly, Harley, Lower Back and Tribal Tattoo designs. I review the top galleries for each design listed, provide details of the type of designs and what to expect. Finally I rank each gallery, so you know which is the best for the type of design you are after. I know how hard it is to find the dream tattoo. I hope this review helps you in your search.

If you want to create your own dream tattoo design, check out the thousands of original tattoos and either use one or combine your favorites to make a design that is just yours. I have reviewed best online tattoo galleries, each with thousands of tattoo designs. If you want specific designs, check out the links at the bottom of the page for a more detailed review.

Every woman loves to have an exclusive item like exclusive designer handbags in their wardrobe. Whether they are looking at an elegant Hermes bag, a delicate Chanel bag or a Luxurious Louis Vuitton, designer bags can transform the entire look. When you have a bag from such big labels they are a possession that transports you to a whole new level of fashion and class. If you know your brands, you will know what to invest in and what to look for. It is important to keep yourself familiar with the models in the market so you know how to spot an original and grab it.

Spotting authentic deals online

When shopping online many people find it difficult to spot an original from a fake. Firstly only buy designer handbags from a trusted website. If you think the site is a trusted one that has been selling these handbags then go ahead and splurge but if it is a new one offering 'unbelievable' prices, chances are it's a clever replica. These brands are exclusive because of the price, so if you are planning to buy one for yourself or as a gift, you might as well spend all that money on the real thing.

Check the website thoroughly and make sure they are the authorized dealers for the brand you are looking to buy. It is wiser to buy directly from the authorized website for the brand than other sites. If the website does not offer a guarantee or return offer should you find it to be inauthentic then do not buy from them. The authentic ones will be confident of no returns as they sell only the best and authentic goods. Also look for a street address listing when it comes to buying online and a phone number that you can verify.

Labels and little details

Another point to look at is the labels on the designer handbags. If you are thinking of buying a Louis Vuitton or Chanel look for a made in Italy or made in France label. If the label says made in China or Japan it's a fake. Also look at the logo closely. An authentic Chanel bag will have interlocking C's turned outward. Make sure you know the features of the collections of each brand so you can examine it closely to pick out the real thing. Also avoid the stores offering high quality designer bags, because these brands are high quality and there is no need to re-emphasize that unless they are selling high quality replica bags or something.

Another important detail to verify on designer handbags is the serial number. Every original will have a unique serial number in the interior of the bag. In case of Chanel it will be on a white label on the inside with the Chanel logo in gold printed on it. There will also be a clear tape covering the label with the serial number and it should also match the number on the authenticity card that comes with the purchase.

The answer to whether an online degree is right for you depends on several questions only you can answer but research has demonstrated online distance education is as effective as traditional education.

Both forms of education require the use of technology and provide ample learning opportunities for students to participate in. Furthermore, studies have shown there are no significant differences in final course grades between distance education and traditional education. It was found many online education methods fit perfectly with students’s preferred learning style including the ability to work on course material in their own time frame.

Advantages of an Online Graphic Design Education
The main advantage of pursuing an online education is accessibility. As an adult, you often don’t have the time or ability to go a traditional school to earn a higher degree. It may be family; it may be a full time job. Either way, an online distant education program provides the flexibility needed to further your education.

With online education as long as you have access to the Internet, you can “make it to class”. And your classes are available 24/7.
Study Pace – for those of us who don’t learn at the same pace as others, an online degree program allows you to learn at a pace that fits your style.
Self Motivation – many employers will look at your online degree and appreciate your initiative and self motivation.
Flexibility – Web based degree programs allow you to learn when you have the time to learn not when you are told to learn.
Self Discipline – to be successful in life and career, you have to have self-discipline. To be successful in distant education programs, you have to have self-discipline. It’s not always easy to get work done if someone isn’t there reminding you all the time. What Should You Expect From An Online Education This tends to work in favor of students who are extremely shy and stay out of conversations in traditional settings.
Work – just because you are not attending a physical classroom setting doesn’t mean you don’t have to work. You will be involved in group projects, writing papers, posting responses to the class message board while taking practice quizzes and discussing topics with fellow students.

There are other online students with more experience available to answer your questions or help with a difficult assignment.

Requirements for Online Graphic Design Degree Programs
First of all, you need a computer with hardware and software that is compatible with the schools programs. Peripheral Equipment - most schools are going to require you have access to a CD burner or DVD burner, printer, scanner, digital camera and digital drawing tablet.

Conclusion
If you are interested in going back to school for a degree in graphic design but don’t have the flexibility to go to a traditional school setting, an online education is a great alternative.
The next step is to find distant learning programs in graphic design that fit your needs.

B. Tips For Freelance Graphic Design
Graphic design degrees are steadily growing in popularity, but very few college degrees give a good, practical background for running one's own business. Many art supplies are toxic to animals and small children, and distractions can be toxic to your creativity, so having a workspace set aside is an absolute necessity. Decent studio furniture is a must as well, nothing wrecks concentration quite like back pain from a bad stool or poorly designed drafting table. Keeping the studio separate from where you go to goof off is vital for many professional artists and graphic designers.

While it doesn't pay to be penny wise and pound foolish in business, as all business is an investment risk by its very nature, it's still a good idea to find creative ways to minimize costs. Finding economical work space, cheap supplies, and creative marketing are all absolutely essential to running a business of any kind in today's world. Choosing a good, inexpensive art supply store is key to making a living as a graphic designer.

Because your business is almost entirely built off of these supplies, finding the right company to partner with is essential to the long term growth and success of your business. If, however, your graphic design is more computer oriented, of course getting a hold of the latest in computer graphics programs and enough hardware to run them is also important. Getting a professional account on a website like DeviantArt, which provides an online gallery space and an account option allowing you to sell prints through them, is an integral strategy to many graphic design freelancers.

ETSY is another website that allows freelance artists to sell their original works in an environment tailored for hand made art appreciation. Most graphic designers don't place their works in brick and mortar galleries, as those are generally reserved for fine art, but offering subcontractor services to interior design companies can be another way to get your name and reputation known.

Everybody likes value added services, and your clients are no exception. By using these strategies, keeping an open and creative mind, and with a bit of business planning and luck, your graphic design career should take off like a rocket.

Designer clothing is the icon of fashion. Designer clothing is desirable for so many people and the higher price of many items set the clothes apart from the crowd creating an air of exclusivity. Designer clothes have exclusive styles and patterns and are made with high quality materials and master craftsmanship which gives them an increased longevity and makes them better value for money.

Designer Clothes

The appeal of designer clothes is that, although they are not totally unique, they are by nature reasonably exclusive. Designer clothing look great because the designers are experts at cutting expensive fabrics into perfect pieces to sew together into great garments. Designer clothes are far superior to the three dollar shirt bought off the street as they are better quality which lasts longer both practically and style wise, than high street clothing. A savvy shopper does not have to be in one of the fashion capitals such as New York or Paris to buy designer clothes. The internet is now a wonderful source for shoppers who can pick garments from styles made by trendy designers from all over the world.

Clothes

In recent times a world wide trend has been witnessed of buying designer clothes. These designer clothes range from jackets, shirts, T shirts, casuals, formals, under garments to every kind of men and women apparels. A consumer that buys designer clothes wants clothing that is cut from the finest fabrics and carefully sewn into stunning garments. Some fashion clothing is designed so that they look very casual but they still have a distinctive air of understated elegance. Whatever your shape or size there are designer clothes & accessories that will make you look chic & feel confident.

Buying Designer Clothes

Trendy people buy the latest fashion apparel to stand out from the crowd and look good amongst their peers. The latest trends include designer t-shirts, handbags, fashion dresses, skirts, jackets, pants and more. People buy what they want to show off. Depending on a person's budget, fashion taste and their size and shape will ultimately decide on what type of designer clothing they choose to purchase and wear. Buying fashion clothing online is the easiest way to access the leading designers who clothes you wish to wear. Unless you have your own private jet and limitless credit card to travel to the fashion capitals of the world.

Our society relies on fashion as a form of expression; this is why designer clothing is so popular nowadays. Designer clothes are all the rage, and for those who choose to buy them become the centre of attention. Everyone should feel good about the way they look during their life and designer clothing is a great way to attain the look you are seeking. For some people, the entire point of designer clothing is the snob appeal (for the most part) and so buying knock offs would defeat the entire purpose, as you can spot a cheap imitation a mile away and that is not the image they are trying to portray.

So you're into tattoos? Perhaps there are more tattoo enthusiasts like you all over the world. This explains why the tattoo design niche has been a blast for so many years now. It's like different folks from different walks of life have this impressive art design drawn in their bodies whether it's just a tiny butterfly or a collage of well-known personalities. If you are looking for cool tattoo styles, you can either go straight to the tattoo shop or find a nice gallery online.

When searching online, you also have the option to either take advantage of the free tattoo design ideas or go an extra mile by signing up for those paid gallery sites. The following are some great features and privileges you will have if you choose the latter option:

--Access to forums
Some tattoo enthusiasts don't just search for cool tattoos, they are also looking for other tattoo enthusiasts and like-minded individuals who are worthy to share some thoughts and discussions with. Most, if not all, paid tattoo design sites have internal forums wherein members as well as respected and known artists can communicate effectively with each other. If you think about it, those online friends of yours can choose the right kind of tattoo for you.

--Access to several exclusive designs
We all want to be unique with the way we dress, the way we do things and others. So it's not surprising that a lot of individuals in search for cool tattoos are going for uniqueness as well. The problem though with free gallery sites is their gallery can be accessed by millions of online users. This means the chances of somebody else having the same tattoos as yours are quite high compared to the gallery found in paid membership sites.

--Access to videos
Aside from exclusive forums and exclusive tattoo designs, you will also have exclusive videos about tattoos and various designs. Maybe you want to learn how to make your own tattoo or how to combine two outlines that you like. Perhaps you want to see some personal tattoo videos of other members or if you want to upload and share your own videos regarding your tattoo choices. That's possible too.

--Access to reviews
Some paid membership tattoo design sites can provide you honest and useful reviews from its members and artists. They will help you make the right decision and choose the design that fits you best. Aside from that, comments, feedback, ratings and recommendations are within your reach as well.

These are just some of the many reasons why other tattoo enthusiasts prefer getting cool tattoos and design ideas from paid membership sites. If it's not much of a deal for you and if you've got extra funds, you can go down that road too. It may all be worth it.

You need to be careful in choosing those cool tattoos and designs for your body. There's no turning back when they are already etched on your skin.

After reading the latest headlines of fashion designers choosing not to utilize Women of Color in their fashion shows and on their runways, it is a bit paradoxical for me. The designers and all whom are representatives of these designers, receive funds from these African-American actresses without even thinking about it. Okay....is it me or are these designers attempting to create an illusion of a Black Woman on their runways? The bronzed skin, nice full lips, and hair extensions are beautiful character traits and features of Women of Color.

When it's time to walk the runway, all sorts of thought is put into the justification of why Black Models aren't being utilized. So the question is: "Can The Fashion Industry Really Continue To Thrive and Survive If African-American Spending Power Came To A Complete Halt? Note to designers: Why not place a tag in your clothing so that African-Americans can steer clear of your particular designs that states the following: "This Collection Is Not Designed For African-Americans. I Do Not Utilize Black Models In My Fashion Shows Because They Are Just Too Darn Beautiful To Look Ridiculous!"

So...whose really keeping these fashion designers in business? "When a Black Model walks the runway she undoubtedly commands attention, she dominates the runway, and she compliments the designs which then brings them to life." Black Women are blessed with natural curvaceousness which is a bit intimidating in some environments. And yes...negative remarks are made about an African-American Woman's attractive figure, but the last time I checked...butt and hip implants from non-black women was at an all time high!

No one in this world -including fashion designers- is qualified to cast judgment.
Black Women purchase the high-fashion magazines whose editors have been reported as saying "Black Faces On The Cover of Magazines Just Doesn't Sell!" Black Women attend the fashion shows and also wear the designer's clothing where Black Models are non-existent on the runway. Black Women all over the world easily carries the latest Louis Vuitton Bags, the latest Prada Bags, the latest Gucci Bags; and can buy whatever they desire.

After reading a particular internet news report, Prada did not employ at least one Black Model in its show this year. Black Women spends thousands of dollars on the same designers clothing whom never utilize Black Models. Action must be taken to exclude the Black Dollars from ending up in the fashion designers pockets who do not utilize Black Models on their runways. Action must also be taken to put a halt to the spending power of Black Women who purchase the fashion magazines where editors claim Black Faces doesn't sell.

I buy all of the high fashion magazines each month depending on whose on the cover - didn't matter whether it was a black model or a white model. I refuse to spend money on magazines without any Black Models on the covers, photographers who don't shoot Black Models, and to see the advertisements of the fashion designer's clothing whom did not employ Black Models on their runways. If the magazines exclude Women of Color (of which I am) on their covers, as well as informative write-ups and articles relating to Women of Color; who would I identify with?

The truth is this: "Black Women are very exotic, sensual, beautiful and sexy; which results in feelings of intimidation from those who are responsible for a Black Model's success in the industry. The fashion industry thrives on purposely smashing Black Models self-esteem and confidence as a way of feeling powerful, which is really a feeling of ignorant false self-confidence. Note to Fashion Designers: "Stop and think for a second. While you are so busy keeping your runways white, be clear about your objectives and preferences; and stop spray tanning your non-black models brown, adding texture to their hair with hair extensions, and plumping up their lips.

A. Where to Find Affordable Trendy Fashions
Even with today's economy there isn't any reason you can't still buy trendy and fashionable clothing. There are several things happening today in the world of fashion that can actually work well to your advantage when it comes to buying clothing.

What's happening now is that lower cost fashion design houses are experiencing an increase in sales. They're seeing a very large and new gap that needs to be filled in the fashion industry. You'll find these affordable fashions at lots of different stores, stores far from Rodeo Drive. Even Target and WalMart are expanding their women's clothing sections.

Take advantage of fashion magazines. What, you say, the same magazines that sell high end designer fashions that I can't afford? Yes! I buy the issue that focuses on a particular fashion season.

Just a few weeks ago I bought a fashion magazine that focused on the new Spring fashions. Some of the trends they mentioned were black and white patterns and geometrics, safari fashion and metallics. I saw skirts, pants, shirts, shoes, handbags and accessories that I could work well in my wardrobe that would prove that I'm both fashionable and trendy as well as thrifty!

Designer's tees are usually a lot more expensive them normal unbranded tees, however they still do the same job, which is ultimately to be worn as clothing.

When someone says the words designer bracelets, what are the words that people immediately and readily associate with these items?

Unique would be the first word that would come to mind. The uniqueness of such products can only come from carefully orchestrated steps in the making of the bracelets. First, a designer has to come up with a concept that would add value to the total look of the bracelets. Then, careful consideration must be taken in choosing the right materials that would be perfectly suited to the design concept.

Lastly, meticulous artisans are directed to coordinate the overall appearance of bracelets that would please any consumer that purchases them. These steps give rise to a well known fact that designer bracelets can never be mass-produced items manufactured by automated and robotic systems. After all, no robot or computer can possibly come up with such appealing products.

Since uniqueness is assured by buying these bracelets, the word exclusive would be the second word that many consumers would link with these products. Whenever the word designer is attached to any commercial item that people would be interested to buy, exclusivity is going to be a one of the major selling points. A sense of exclusivity can give even an average consumer the sense of being a celebrity in their own right. Bracelets exclusively designed by reputable designers are worn by rich and famous people. Who else can afford to collect these bracelets but socialites and movie stars with deep pockets coupled with glamorously fabulous lives?

And speaking of affordability, expensive would definitely be the final, yet important word that many people would consider before buying products such as designer bracelets. This is because these jewelry is usually made of precious metals, minerals and gem stones chosen with the highest standards of quality. Materials such as gold, diamonds, pearls, rubies, sapphire, emerald and jade are customized and combined to give those bracelets that exclusively expensive quality.

Additionally, the talent of designers and artisans who are involved in making these products also come with a steep price. Even though the prices of these bracelets may seem impractical even for those who can afford to buy them, it is important to consider that these objects of beauty as portable investments. The value of designer jewelry increase with each passing year.

Interest in the fashion industry is on the rise, and so are the opportunities – and the competition. It is relatively easy to earn a degree in fashion design, merchandising, or fashion marketing. Each of these segments focuses on a different aspect of the fashion industry. As the fashion industry continues to grow, there is an increased need for educated and specialized staff in the fashion world. The three main opportunities with a fashion degree are fashion design, fashion marketing and fashion merchandising.

Becoming a fashion designer is a dream for many people. Fashion Marketing involves the advertising, design and business side of the fashion business. A fashion marketer has to have a comprehensive knowledge of the fashion industry to be able to identify what will be stylish and appealing to their target markets. Fashion marketing connects the designers to the public by tracking consumer-buying habits.

Fashion Merchandising and marketing work hand in hand. Fashion merchandisers are responsible for buying the clothes and presenting them to stores. One of the largest parts of fashion merchandising is creating displays to help consumers want to buy the products. Fashion marketing is basically the selecting of clothing lines and choosing how the will be presented to the market.

Fashion is a career that combines business aptitude and an artistic eye.

A. Becoming A Fashion Designer
Being a fashion designer certainly does come with its benefits; but it is also a career that requires a balance between creativity and skill. The way we dress on a daily basis, the clothing we run to the stores to purchase, all depend on what’s popular on the runways. And what’s popular on the runways is created by fashion designers. A fashion designer creates a look and makes it happen. A fashion designer must not only be skilled in the manufacturing of clothing – including knowledge of textiles and expertise in sewing – but also in sketching and drawing their designs. The savvy fashion designer understands color and how to use it to capture the essence of their design.

Becoming a fashion designer means attending a reputable school that teaches design, sewing, textiles, and the like. Working alongside a fashion designer who can give you firsthand experiences and help you build your portfolio is incredibly important to becoming a fashion designer. A strong portfolio that demonstrates your talent and desire to work in the industry will go a long way to helping you realize your dream of becoming a fashion designer.

B. How To Easily Decide On The Right Fashion Designer School For You And Your Talents
Whether you are going into fashion design, merchandising or fashion marketing, you are going to want to go into fashion designer school. There are schools all over the United States and Europe from which to choose. Choosing the right fashion designer school is no different than choosing the right college. Once you have chosen a few fashion designer schools that appeal to you, you can begin the application process. If you are particularly talented or wealthy, you may have your choice of schools to which you can attend. While you want to aspire to get into the best school, the most important thing is that when you do get to fashion designer school, you learn as much as you can about your craft.

Fashion design is a very competitive business with many different avenues. You can study to be a designer, a merchandiser, a marketer or even a model at these schools. If you have aspirations of becoming a famous designer, do your best to learn everything you can no matter which school you attend. If you have exceptional talent and have won any Junior designer awards, you may be eligible for a scholarship to certain designer schools.

If you admire a certain designer and they are an alumni from a certain school, you can write to them and ask them how they felt about the school and tell them you are thinking of applying at this school. Ask them other schools they recommend. Visit each of the schools, if possible, and observe the campus. Fashion design demands creativity. Creativity demands a certain environment. Most of all, you want to make sure that you can afford the tuition to designer school.

If someone really wants to attend school, there is nothing stopping them, not even money. Student loans are available, as are grants. If at all possible, try to get a job in a fashion house, even if it is just as a cleaner. If you aspire for a career in fashion design, do not let anything stop you. School is only one stepping stone to a successful career.
