  7. dodge

    Get way, way back, position your camera half way left to right (center), and at the same height from the ground (again center), use your zoom so you don't get lens distortion. Place a ruler in the photo (center, just below the graphic), so we have a scale reference for size. Also get a close...

  9. Latest logo design

    I agree 1000%, nice business card or website banner, poor logo design, too many gradients, fills, shadows etc. Do you know what the squint test is? Sometimes a logo will need to reproduced in black & white, what will this look like? If you need some help defining what is or what is NOT a...

  14. Dear Terrorists....

    Wow, too bad you are not on a later flight, you could see fireworks going off from over head as you pass over all the major cites like Dallas. I once flew over Disneyland (at a lower altitude), just as they were shooting off the fireworks, and it was really something the see all the aerial...
  15. First (Official) Wrap

    Bad layout, I don't like this kid of mismatch design (see highlighted photo below), and right up front like you did, draws your eye right to the pattern mismatch. Next time plan ahead, and wrap the design around to the fender seam and create a transition in the artwork that will blend into the...

    Man that is bad... That is horrible food photography, no depth of field, and very flat lighting. Although my first job after getting out of the Army was as a newspaper photographer, years later when I started doing commercial studio photography, (learned lighting from the master, Dean...
