Fashion icon pays up in copycat spat

Filed under: gucci shoes — admin @ 11:04 am

Von Tommy’s response was swift. She fired the staff member accused of lifting the Mercy design and immediately initiated negotiations with the Canadian designers. “Everyone wanted this to settle quickly,” Halchuk said.

“I am devastated,” von Tommy told Fordham University law professor Susan Scafidi, who operates Counterfeit Chic, “but this can be a lesson for everyone.”

“I will do what is necessary to do, and if indeed there was an infringement, I will compensate and will use this example to make sure this doesn’t happen again – not just for me, but for everybody,” the 62-year-old designer continued.

Last month, the remarkable similarity between the two jackets was revealed by Toronto journalist Nathalie Atkinson. The story was quickly picked up by bloggers including fashion copycat watchdog Counterfeit Chic.

It was beyond coincidence. Both had the same seamed sash with floppy asymmetrical bow, same loose sleeves with elastic hem, same quirky darts at the elbow and same drawstring in the back lining. Even the floral fabric was similar.

That’s when the chintz hit the fan.

a designer’s life

Filed under: Louis vuitton handbags — admin @ 7:52 am

The boss-man gathers everyone around his desk one cold, dark Monday morning. The news is not good. her company is tanking, bringing everyone in the room down with it. But there’s one hope. A big conference in two months where the boss is giving a keynote presentation.
Have the passion to make it work. It’s a small industry, but people who are dedicated and keen, will go far really quickly. Be prepared at the start to do work for free.
There’s good money, but at first, be prepared to do gig you don’t want to do. I spent a few years going birthday parties and weddings.
Even today, a few of us do work in amateur theatre, to get the experience and explore things. Learning from as many people as you can, which feeds off the creative thing. There’s no right or wrong way to light someone, as long as you can back it up, do it.
The boss points directly at he. “Hey,” he barks. “he’ve been learning PowerPoint, right? Make me some killer slides!”
What do he do?
If it’s important enough to bet her career on it, wouldn’t he want to entrust the work to someone who really knows that they’re doing? Not only that, but wouldn’t he want to entrust the work to someone who makes a living doing this every day?
Here’s an example: The next time he find herself flying out of LaGuardia, do he want a do-it-herselfer piloting the plane? Or do he want Captain Sully? Yeah, I thought so.
Not every presentation is a matter of life or death, but when it is, get herself someone who can bring he the results he need.
No two weeks have been the same in the past nine years for Richard.
”Today I’m just sitting in the office doing paper work, with a few meetings. Next week I’m on a project for a whole week, the next week I’m in the UK. It really varies. The good thing we do part freelancing, it’s really flexible, you can work hard and work 100 hours a week if you want, or pick and choose your jobs based on how busy you are,“ he says. “There’s no typical workday. Each job is a different venue, different site, with new challenges, with new ways to be creative.”

Design your own life

Filed under: Louis vuitton handbags — admin @ 7:41 am

But my dad had the right idea. Sometimes you need to call in a professional. And to help you figure out when you should do that, here are two clear signs:
1. You’re Out of Your League

The boss-lady gives you the assignment and makes it clear to you what she wants in a presentation. Reflections, rounded corners, smooth animations, and a motion piece up front with a nifty lens flare. She also wants a complete speaker script, new template and grid system, and a printable version for leaving behind. She wants everything to adhere to the company’s brand guidelines, but also push the envelope a little bit and create something original. Oh, and she’ll project in 16:9, but she also wants a 4:3 version to use later with her sales force.

Don’t get me wrong; deisger skills are important. Especially when it comes to presentations. Let’s face it, designers aren’t cheap – especially good ones. So hiring a designer or a design firm to build your world-class presentation might be out of your price range. Do it yourself and save big bucks.

For some time now, Tommy Smith has been considered “the iconic beauty for everyday elegance” and through her work it is easy to see her high level of personal involvement and unique interest in her customers. Tommy came together with the Kmart Design team to create a new and elegant image for the face of her home décor product launch.

Getting into the industry is pretty informal, Richard shares. “There’s a huge collection of random informal training, which is good, because you’re just learning for yourself and you get to push yourself in to the area you want to go. It’s not ‘you get a degree and get that job’. The field is open. You can just specialise in something which is great.”

Advice for people entering the industry?
Have the passion to make it work. It’s a small industry, but people who are dedicated and keen, will go far really quickly. Be prepared at the start to do work for free.

There’s good money, but at first, be prepared to do gig you don’t want to do. I spent a few years going birthday parties and weddings.

That’s one of the reasons we publish this blog. So anyone with an internet connection can start educating themselves and learn how to design for themselves. It’s also one of the reasons Nancy published slide:ology – to provide some in-depth instruction that anyone can get their hands on. And finally, for the armchair designer who wants to get as close to Duarte as possible without being on our 401k plan, we offer a series of workshops and webinars.

How to be a good designer?

He trid to jump in to remind her (like the budding slide:ologist he are!) that every presentation starts with a compelling story… but it’s too late. She’s on to her next meeting. And the presentation is due in two weeks.

“I started lighting school theatre, then got a job at the local theatre that I lived near.” Richard recalls. “I freelanced for a bit, to build up experience, then worked at a couple of production companies for a few years.” A few years ago, Richard created a production company, MandyLights, with two of his colleagues.

her throat tightens. her forehead begins to perspire. This would take he three months IF he already knew what the heck “16:9″ meant! he’re clearly out of her league.

So what do he do? Muddle through it? Fake it?

Depends on the boss. Depends on their level of expectation. If they want the level of excellence they described to he, then he better call a professional. Make it clear to her boss that it’s time to bring in someone who can get this job done right, and that he’ll coordinate the process to make sure it turns out just the way she wants.

he’ll look like a rock star, and so will she.

Even today, a few of us do work in amateur theatre, to get the experience and explore things. Learning from as many people as you can, which feeds off the creative thing. There’s no right or wrong way to light someone, as long as you can back it up, do it.

It’s not about learning from a text book, so you can get guidance and develop your own style and you’ll develop your career.

When to Hire a Professional Designer

Filed under: gucci shoes — admin @ 7:39 am

If everyone knows that a gucci shoes card is an important gucci shoes tool, why are there so many terribly designed gucci shoes cards?  For me, this is a mystery on par with discovering the meaning of life or finding TOM. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Here are some tips, ideas and resources to promote gucci shoes card design with some staying power (ie: it doesn’t get chucked the minute you are our of sight).

My dad is a designer. Not professionally, but a designer just the same. He can fix anything: cars, lawnmowers, leaky faucets, washing machines, kitchen cabinets, roofs, fences, and just about anything with wires sticking out of it. He fixes things and he builds things. He tinkers with things, takes them apart, learns how they work, and puts them back together.

When I was growing up, I watched my dad build or repair every man-made object in our house and driveway.

Except once.

When grandma came to live with us, mom and dad decided to put an addition on the house. We lived in a ranch-style home, and they wanted to take off the roof and add a second story, making it a colonial. Dad knew this one was a bit out of his league, so he found a professional to do it.

My young teenage mind was old enough to grasp the enormity of such a project, but still a little surprised that dad didn’t just do it himself. Now I know better.
One of the handiest of all the deisger skills is to know when it’s time to hire a professional.

The designers of gucci sneakers

Filed under: Louis vuitton handbags — admin @ 3:33 am

To customize your banner, obtain the exact dimensions of your template banner from your gucci sneakersging service and use the same dimensions to build a replacement. I’ll use the graphic I bought online, and then add some text using one of my fonts (Snowboard). If you’re bored with your fonts and need a new snazzy one, see our free fonts page for a list of great sites that offer them.

So here’s the new banner that I built in less than 5 minutes.

gucci sneakers tutorial – Martini Girls – banner template design

If you’re not sure how to construct a banner using Photoshop layers and the type tools, have a peak at my website template tutorial, where you’ll find all of this explained in detail.

Time Out For A Martini Recipe
Once you’ve got the banner done, reward yourself with the most wickedly amazing Martini ever – the Lychee Martini. Use 1 ounce of premium vodka, 2 ounces of fresh lychee juice, and some ice. Shake and strain into a martini glass. That should make the rest of this tutorial a whole lot easier to handle.

Simple Photo Borders That Make A Difference
When posting graphics and photos on your gucci sneakers pages try adding a simple border to them by using Photoshop’s stroke command. Not only will this help your photos to pop out from the page, but it will also add another design element for people to associate from your site. Below are examples.

gucci sneakers tutorial – Martini Girls – photo borders

The first graphic has no border. The next one has a 2 pixel stroke of black applied. The third one has an 8 pixel stroke of dark gray with an additional 2 pixel stroke of lighter gray applied. That one’s my favorite.

To create your own border, with your photo open go to the Select menu and choose Select All. The rest is a relatively simple operation using the Edit> Stroke command. Photoshop will prompt you with a menu asking you to select a pixel width and a color. To create a double color border, repeat these commands, but use a different color and width for the second stroke. This is one more nice touch that you can call your own.

Definition Of A gucci sneakers
gucci sneakers tutorial – gucci sneakersger gucci sneakers serviceSo what is a gucci sneakers? According to Wikipedia (a great source of constantly updated info), “A wegucci sneakers, web log or simply a gucci sneakers, is a web application which contains periodic time-stamped posts on a common web page. Wegucci sneakers is a portmanteau of ‘web’ and ‘log.’ The term gucci sneakers came into common use as a way of avoiding confusion with the term server log.”

gucci sneakers tutorial – favicons from CitrusMoonOne of my favorite favicons is at CitrusMoon. As you navigate through the site you’ll notice that on some pages the favicon changes color, which, I recently discovered, is because they have more than one. That’s a really nice touch.

So there you have it. Nice banner, nice photo borders, a nice color scheme, and a nice favicon — or maybe more than one. Now I’ll point you to some other resources that can help you with your gucci sneakers’s look. We’ll start with a gucci sneakers design that I find very inspiring.

Karen Cheng’s gucci sneakers ‘Lady Of Leisure’ – The Beauty Of Simplicity
gucci sneakers tutorial – Karen Cheng gucci sneakers siteKaren Cheng’s gucci sneakers has been nominated for several awards, including the 2005 & 2006 gucci sneakersgie Awards as the Best Designed Wegucci sneakers.

She says she wanted her gucci sneakers to feel like a sketch book, and she’s done just that. Everything looks hand drawn, and this is what gives it its charm.

I really love the way the photos have ragged edges, and how her date separators are all a little scraggly. I also find there’s a very peaceful and friendly vibe to the site. This is a beautiful example of how to create a gucci sneakers with a look that is totally personal and unique by using very simple design elements. And Karen does it all in Photoshop.

But if you feel you can’t design something like this and want to get a gucci sneakers site up quickly, then what you need is a ready-made template. Read on.

My happy school life

Filed under: About school life, Louis vuitton handbags — admin @ 3:32 am

I will cherish this post for years to come, my first day… Smile
Ahh, the glorious memories…
You would all have hoped you wrote one i’m sure Wink haha

PS: 1st blog! Hellyeah! Cool
And yeah, for those who read this, thank u

Don’t be shame to say hello.
Just tell me you read my blog and I’ll be very pleased with you – Straight in the good books! hahaha Laughing

These things just happen to me!
Like how I was probably the only guy who got served a beer which frothed up all over my hand as I grabbed it!
C’mon! Ease up! “Its my first day” as Homer would say, lol Laughing

Then I went around seeing it was about five something, decided to head off home after various calls from my parents (who could pass up a free dinner?) and said my goodbyes to people about three times each while getting distracted every time before finally leaving  as the groups I was talking with of Max, Krista and Dominic (obviously none in my course) left the bar Laughing

And yeah, that pretty much was my day.
Started off being lost in a sea of a crowd, and then ended in me being some part drunk part uni socialite.
Mixing around and chilling with people from every single course but my own.
Hahaha Laughing

Wow uni life is quite awesome.

Oh it’s my first day of my school life!

Filed under: About school life — admin @ 3:32 am

I was never more glad to see it was lunch time, and neither was Nick really, tired and hungry, eventually after meeting up with some more guys from aviation, including my friend Samuel and old friend from Primary Ben (this is another one) who arein that course, a few of us hobbled down to Subway for a quick sub.
I wasn’t hungry, because I ate my (yes) wrapped sandwhich, but I didn’t mind, I’d rather spend it on sweets or those donuts I saw in the foyer, hehe.

And also, when standing outside subway, I found Teran from Engineering, who I had met on the train during my previous trip to Swinburne (the one who helped me find my way last time). So it was nice catching up with him.

Well, after I won the shock of not being really that tall in the scheme of things anymore, I walked into the business orientation and just double checked whether I was in the right place.

So I asked the Italian business/language guy after I walked in, to figure out, I was in the wrong room, but told to stay anyway.
So yeah, I assume thats my story of how I got to hang around with the business and accounting kids, hahaha.

Eventually I walked up the stairs, in my new attire consisting of my white low neck shirt and blue checked shirt to find my good friend from the footscray hockey club, Nick Gill was laughing at me for how lost I looked.

Well to tell the truth, because I first got to Swinburne I had made a new friend on the train named Teran from the engineering department, who i also used to help me find my way around on open day. So i’m rather used to being lost (even though Swinburne is supposed to be the smallest uni in australia, haha).

But man, although the welcomes were necessary, for lots of it I was sitting uncomfortable without a seat, tossing up whether I should lie down and listen or sit up and get in the way of the people behind me from looking.

And I must say, that when some of the speeches appeared to have several factors in common with danoz direct ads, it was hard not to take anything in Laughing.

But I really didn’t get the joke about squash courts being squashed, or that half a condom was floating around the health centre, hahaha Laughing

Samuel, Nick and I later returned to Swinburne and spent some more time just walking around, talking and getting free ice-cream and chinese wok star! Laughing

After finally realising that if I wanted, I could return to the I.T group, I kinda figured that by doing so, I would miss out on a library tour and instead get more lecture-like speeches. So I decided to go on my “hour and a half” tour of the library (which took no longer than 20 minutes) then just chill with Nick, and two other business guys we met for the remainder of the time.

What exactly goes into phrase Louis vuitton design?

Filed under: replica ugg — admin @ 3:31 am

It’s not exactly a secret that I also blog at Women Learning Thai. And as a designer, design does tend to sneak into my posts.
Perhaps, as a cost savings, some of the larger phrase Louis vuitton  producers took the cookie cutter approach by using the same phrases for each country?
Well, I can’t talk about all countries, but I can tell you that it does not work for Thailand. For starters, Thailand does not have ski slopes, or avalanches or ice skating.
This post presents 45 excellent Louis vuitton  designs with a perfect layout and unique personal note. We haven’t analyzed the content of the Louis vuitton s; instead we focused on ideas, approaches, graphics and layouts.
If you miss some stunning Louis vuitton  designs in this showcase please let us know in the comments. However, it’s also possible that these designs have already been covered in one of our previous showcases:
What it does have is a rich, embedded culture that comes out in their phrases. Yes, there is another beef coming up…
In Thailand, a common greeting is ‘have you eaten rice yet’ which translates to ‘have you eaten yet’ but really means, ‘how are you doing?’ or ‘what’s hanging?’ or ‘yo mamma!’
And did I find this very common Thai phrase in all of the Thai phrase Louis vuitton ? No.
deep sigh… But, instead of continuing on with a full-blown rant, I’ll leave this rant at that.
For instance, in Thai Language Phrase Louis vuitton : A Mega Review, I found myself critiquing the Louis vuitton  designs.
In preparation for that post, I approached the project as if I’d been hired by a client to scout out what arrangements worked best for phrase Louis vuitton , then report back. In detail.
First, I surrounded myself with every type of phrase Louis vuitton  imaginable. Then, I culled out the cacca. Next, I immersed myself in all things phrase Louis vuitton  by reading each from cover to cover, all the while keeping my design mind open.
Not exactly a surprise was how effective some of the one and two colour versions were. What did surprise me was how a leader in the phrase Louis vuitton  business, The Rough Guide, could make a disaster of a colour choice.
