As a diehard Google Android user nothing upsets me more than today’s announcement from Adobe that the Photoshop.com Mobile iPhone application is now available. Sigh. For free (sigh).

Web design is an art. There’s no question about that. The question is: how many websites designed by real web designers are out there? With the amount of crap that purely invades the Internet and suffocates the users nowadays, there are serious reasons to doubt that web design is an art in its own right.
So called web designers create terrible made for AdSense sites, or those awful personal pages that have nothing to say. But the Internet is a World and you should expect to find, as in the real world, tones of nonsense and digital rubbish. Such websites have no real value, are full of grammatical errors, respect no design techniques, blend colors, fonts and graphics irrationally, display flashy banners, annoying gifs and so on. Sites like these make people believe that it is ok to put up a website even if it is lousy. Anyone can start a website, but, can anyone design a website? Obviously not, since new websites appear online every day that are not good at all.
Web design combines traditional arts with technical skills. A web designer is not just a web coder: he or she is an artist able to understand the value of image and other visual elements, and knows what impact these might have on the viewers. The web designer works with images and words to create the perfect web layout. To create unique websites, the kind of websites that really add value to the World Wide Web, skilled web designers use various tools. They might retouch pictures and graphics or create astonishing images using programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Jasic Paint, Photo Impact and so on. They might use 3D software or Flash to design dramatic layouts that will transport the visitors into another world. No matter what tools they employ, professional web designers create functional, astonishing web pages.
Don’t believe that web design, as an art, is not for business, corporate or informative websites. As a matter of fact they need it the most. While business and informational websites don’t need to be artistic, they need to inspire. Corporate websites need clear designs, simple layouts so that any visitor could access the information fast and understand the purpose of the website. To create a website that sends the right message and develops brand awareness in an agreeable manner is an art. A good website can sell a service or products, but this doesn’t mean that its appearance should fade. Compare a website to a car: you need it to transport your visitors through a space full of information. You don’t want them to be bored by what you have to offer. You want to entertain them, to mesmerize their minds, to make them come back. What it will be: a Hollywood like limousine or a second hand car? Yes, it’s true: it’s not the car that matters, but the ride. However, when you travel in an uncomfortable seat you might not enjoy the ride. And doesn’t anyone dream for a first-class ticket?
After all this being said, you do not have to hire a web designer to build a great site in today’s online world. Web design is an art, but with the advent of the new high power website builders, anyone can create a high quality website for a fraction of the cost of hiring a web designer. This is especially true of web building programs that are template driven.
Online web building programs using this “template driven” technology allow the user to make their website using professionally designed templates. This means the “art” of web design has already been done. The user simply chooses their template, adds their own content and photos, and in a matter of hours or days, a HIGH QUALITY website is created!
Don’t be fooled. Not all website builders are the same. Make sure you use a website builder that includes ecommerce capabilities without an additional charge. One such program is HighPowerSites.
In conclusion: You can hire a skilled, talented web designer to create your business website but you will pay a high price as web designers are not cheap. Or you can use a top notch web building program for a fraction of the cost. You’ll need to pay the price for either one, but high quality websites don’t come cheap. If you are serious about doing business online, you should invest in your website. The future belongs to those that provide for quality on the World Wide Web.
Make money taking photos? Sure! As long as you have a digital camera, a computer and internet connection, then you have what it takes to make money taking photos. I know what you’re thinking. If you’re not a professional photographer, how on earth can you make money with your digital photos?
The answer lies in stock photo websites. You might not be familiar with all of the technical terms, but if you manage to take good pictures every now and then, you don’t have to worry about a thing. By following these simple steps, I’m confident that you can and will make money taking photos!
What are stock photos?
First of all, stock photos are pictures used for all kinds of presentations and advertising materials. You might have some of them already installed in your computer (programs like Adobe usually have great stock photos).
These images usually come with key words that can help categorize them all. For example, a picture of a handshake and one of a thumbs up can fall under “Business.” Some keywords are even as specific as “American Food” or “Asian Business.”
Now that I know what stock photos are, what comes next?
There are a lot of stock photo websites that cater to different tastes and needs. Your job is to submit your photos to these websites, so that they can sell them to companies or individuals who need original images for their presentation or advertising material.
Most of these websites ask for an uncompressed image of at least quality 8 in Photoshop. You are only allowed to submit your original creations. This is how you make money taking photos.
How do I increase the chances of my photos getting accepted?
You can learn a lot just by browsing through all the other photos in these websites. Don’t be intimidated by the idea of putting your snapshots out there. Your fellow photographers have just learned how to make money taking photos, and you can leverage from their knowledge and experience.
One way you can get ahead of everybody else is by being creative with your pictures. You can use symbolism and make sure your images are 100% sharp (unless blurriness is your concept).
Do not take pictures of anything with copyrights attached to it (such as logos) or with anyone. Any person in the picture (or the owner of the logo) should sign a model release to ensure that you have their permission to include and sell any photo where they (or their copyrighted image) are included. Since this could be a big hassle, it might be a good idea to avoid taking snapshots of anything with people or logos in them. The more you take pictures, the sooner you’ll find your niche in photography.
The Internet offers a wide variety of opportunities for budding photographers. Take advantage of this and start to make money taking photos. This is just a start-up guide, but you’ll soon find out that there’s a lot more you can explore as you become more familiar with stock photography.
The first key in understanding copyright law is defining what it is these laws protect. Creative work is defined as being a production based on the thoughts, expressions, or imagination of an individual which developed with a physical existing form.
Simple thoughts held in a persons’ mind are not creative works. However, they make take the form of creative works when developed through writing, art, etc. There is also a form which inhibits creative editing or collecting of work which allows the creative organization of the facts to be copyrighted. This is called a compilation copyright. In some areas it has specific guidelines. In any case, knowing the laws of creativity is beneficial.
The purpose of these copyright laws is to offer the creator exclusive rights and control over who may copy their work or compose variations involving their work. These laws provide these creators with secure protection and initiate penalties for those who violate the creators rights. It also gives the creator the ability to sell or license their work.
Most often, copyright has to do with commerce. Commerce involves the social relations involved in trade or exchange of goods and services. To be enforced it’s logical that creative works should have some commercial value. Which means its not only suitable for a large market but gives quality to the particular market it’s associated with. As an example, brainstorming would not be significant to copyright protection and of course has little or no value to anyone other than the person it developed from. However, what is developed from the brainstorming may be seen by others as valuable.
Something as simple as your opinion can be seen as valuable if it is documented physically and in creative form. While copyright violations aren’t carried over into e-mail and forum postings caution is still needed in places such as USENET and others on the web. These places are huge and considered to be 100 percent publication.
There are some complexities in copyright law which allow certain types of copying without given permission to which it is felt that important social principles would possibly be violated. This is often associated with the concept of review or illustration of a particular point. Most major nations uphold the Berne copyright convention which states that the moment a work is created in a physical form, it’s copyrighted. There is no legal notification necessary and it’s not necessary to register. However, in the event of legal action, registration is often required.
Copyright continues seventy years after its creator is deceased. Copyright is a matter of common decency and respect. Taking something which doesn’t belong to you without permission is theft and considered punishable by law.
As an Artist you know there is no greater thrill than seeing your artwork on someone’s wall; knowing that they love it, that you have brought joy into their world. Whether you’re a part time hobby artist, a full time professional or somewhere in between there is always opportunity to sell your work. You may find that one or more methods work well for you. Pursue them. Hone your skills. Reap the rewards! Remember the old adage, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained …”
Your Local Art Community
If you haven’t already done so, check out your local ‘art scene’. Many communities have organizations designed for the budding Artist. They offer classes, exhibits, information on local events (booth opportunities) and general art related resources. You may also fine resources through the Chamber of Commerce and your local Colleges and Universities. It’s a great place to start.
Word of Mouth
Everyone loves to sell by word of mouth. It’s free and you know people are talking good things about your art. Great word of mouth is every seller’s dream.
Advantage: Someone else is marketing for you simply by giving their recommendation to a friend.
Disadvantage: In order for “word of mouth” to be affective, people have to know about it first!
Conclusion: It takes time to develop ‘word of mouth’ selling. Produce good work, conduct yourself with integrity and a great reputation will follow! It is worth its weight in gold.
Commissioned Work
With commissioned work, you sell it before you create it.
Advantage: You can pretty well expect to get paid for the job, assuming you deliver as promised.
Disadvantage: You have to market yourself to get the job. And you are obligated to paint within someone else’s parameters rather than yours completely.
Conclusion: Working within boundaries forces you to solve the problems it presents. It forces creative solutions. Many of us do our best work when presented with unique challenges!
Event Booths
Event booths can be a fun way to sell your artwork and participate in the community.
Advantage: Booth rentals can be relatively inexpensive. You get to talk with people and promote your work. You get instant feedback. You know immediately how people feel about your artwork; everything from style, content, size and price. You get a ‘feel’ for the market. You have the opportunity to get the word out about you and your art; give out business cards or email contact.
Disadvantage: You have to deal with how you will accept payment (credit card, cash, check).You don’t want someone to walk off with one of your paintings and find out their check was bad. You need to sell enough to cover your expenses. Event opportunities may not come around often enough to suit your taste or you may not have enough pieces to warrant having a booth.
Conclusion: Consider these – renting a booth with other Artists if you don’t have enough work to fill the space; excepting credit cards or cash only; selling low price point prints or cards of your artwork to passers by (for spontaneous sales). Market yourself to the hilt. Tout your web site.
Your Own Web Site
Nowadays everyone seems to have their own web site. If you have anything to sell, people expect you to have one.
Advantage: It’s fast, convenient and you’re not confined to any one location. Your artwork is available for people around the world to see 24/7. Getting online can be done on the cheap. If you’re willing to do the research, the world is literally at your fingertips to learn the In’s and out’s of being online.
Disadvantage: Getting on the web is one thing. Getting found by people searching for your product is quite another. Getting listed on page 158 on a Google search doesn’t add up to sales. Unless your prepared to take on the full time job (and expense) of marketing your site, you will most likely only be found by people to whom you have personally given your web address. You will also need to have a payment and delivery method. And work out things like who pays shipping.
Conclusion: If at all possible, at least get a web page. Give people a convenient way to see your work and contact you by email. It’s expected.
A Hosted Website
Showing your artwork on a hosted web site is a fairly fast and easy process.
Advantage: When you show your work on someone else’s web site, you don’t have to market your art or your website. It is relatively inexpensive. There are online companies that will ‘host’ your artwork and often for free or a small annual fee. Buyers are then directed to you; where you handle the sale and shipping, etcetera… Some of them even take care of accepting payment, shipping and returns if you sell prints of your art that they produce (for a fee of course). Luckily many are able to print on demand, so you don’t have to ‘buy’ the print until someone places an order for it.
Disadvantage: The hosting site makes the bulk of their money by selling their services to you (hosting and producing prints), not by selling your original pieces of art. In other words, they do not target sales to a specific market of art buyers; but rather you, the Artist. You may have to provide your own digital capture. If you want to offer larger prints you will need to use high end capture methods (professional camera or scanner). The hosting company may also take a % of the sale for themselves.
Conclusion: It’s a fantastic way to get your art ‘on the web’ without a lot of time or expense involved.
Art Shows & Galleries
Art shows are often hosted by galleries and organizations that can attract lots of interested buyers.
Advantage: The event is advertised by the host, so you don’t have to. Art shows can be a great way to introduce yourself and your art to the local market (and possibly larger, if a licensing agent sees your work). You have the opportunity to sell your work or walk away with an award. Everybody loves an ‘award winning’ artist! Many Artists get their start via shows and galleries.
Disadvantage: You may not be accepted into the Show or you may have to pay to enter. Galleries are very particular about the work they carry. Once you are accepted, if you are accepted, you can expect the Gallery to take 40-60% commission right off the top. You must do your homework and deal with reputable galleries only.
Conclusion: The Internet is great, but it’s impossible to beat the ‘real thing’ when it comes to viewing art. Viewing the original up close and personal is the true art experience. The high end sales are still made in the galleries. Go for it.
Sell Prints
Selling prints of your original art is easier today than ever before.
Advantage: You can sell prints of a popular piece at an affordable price. You can sell the original as well or choose to keep it in your own private collection. Fine art printing companies are widely available on the Internet and elsewhere. Many of them do digital capture as well as the printing itself. Depending on your budget, and quality of digital capture, you have control over the type and quality of the Giclee Prints created. You also have choice of selling limited or open edition prints.
Disadvantage: You have to invest in the digital capture and printing services and hope that you can re-coup those expenses through the various methods of selling your art.
Conclusion: Whether to sell prints or strictly one of a kind, originals is a personal decision. The advantages are obvious, yet for some, it goes against the grain. Follow your heart.
License Your Art with a Company
Your “license” is your permission for someone else to market and sell images of your work. How the image is used is agreed upon in the contract.
Advantage: Your art continues to work for you long after you have created it, generating a passive income.
Disadvantage: These companies usually license art only for their own use. Meaning the art is used strictly for that company’s product.
Conclusion: Once you have a contract it is a no hassle way to sell your art. Be sure to sell your license, not your copyright!
License Your Art with a Commercial Licensing Agency
With this type of licensing your image is contracted out to manufacturing companies through the Agency. How the image is used is agreed upon in the contract. It could be used on anything from mugs, dishware, cloth, napkins, art prints, T-shirts stationary and any number of things in the manufacturing industry. Licensing art with an agency is the professionals’ game.
Advantage: Once you create the original artwork and sign a licensing agreement, you can return to the art of creating great Fine Art, all the while earning passive income.
Disadvantage: The licensing market is highly competitive. Agents will only license what they believe they can sell because it literally costs them thousands of dollars to land good contracts with manufactures, publishers and various agencies. They need art they ‘know’ they can sell. Some licensing agents will ask you to put up a significant sum of ‘good faith’ money to help off set their expenses. Then you both cross your fingers that it sells. If the agent doesn’t get paid, you don’t get paid. You get 30-50% of the contract price the agent makes with the purchasing company; about 4-10% of the wholesale price of the product (not retail sale price).
Conclusion: Even at a fraction of the wholesale price, the profits can be huge. If you are talented enough to play that game, my hat goes off to you. Well done!
I am sure you have noticed these selling channels are interrelated. Many Artists will participate in event booths; selling prints, handing out business cards with their web address, drumming up commissioned work and developing a good ‘word of mouth’ reputation all at the same time! And why not? The more you put your work ‘out there’ the more chances you have to sell it. Whether you just dabble in art or make it your bread and butter, there are selling opportunities for you. Some obviously require more time and effort than others. The great part is, between the Internet and local organizations you can get as little or as deeply involved as you want. Keep it fun and enjoy yourself!
So you like chasing monsters, you need action and never pass off a chance for some adventure and yes, you play World of Warcraft because it is an exiting and original game, this is exactly the reason it is still that very popular online role playing game. It is such a unique game because of it’s multiplayer online format. The fact that you need a PC to play this game makes it perfect if you want to create some art work with World of Warcraft as the main theme.
Art pictures, a way to remember
This game is very dynamic and there will always be moments that you are in a situation that will not happen again but you would like to have something to remember it by. Being a role playing game that is very, as said before, dynamic not found in other games. The perfect option in this game is that you take a snapshot of those moments of the game that you would like to take a look at later on. If you have an editing program like photoshop, gimp or something else why not create some art pics of World of Warcraft? Some would say that you are involved with the game but those people just do not understand the pleasure one can have from playing an online game. So never let yourself be discouraged by anyone if you want to keep some screenshots of those perfect moments you spend online in the World of Warcraft.
Need to settle a dispute
If only the online world would be better then the offline world normally is, but it is not. So as in the offline world there can be times that you need to settle a dispute with someone else, and having some screenshots to prove your point and case can be very helpful in those situations. There will always be people that will say that those pictures can be fabricated but an official that has the power to make decisions and who is unbiased will know what those pictures are worth.
Some of the other places
Why limit yourself to only your art pics of World of Warcraft of your online sessions? If you do a search there are a lot resources where you can get other art pictures, you will be amazed at the amount you will find. There are a lot of picture galleries where you can find graphic and art work from other players and a lot of times they are free of charge. Why not do some trading with other players, find forums online where you can post your screenshots and show the online community what you have achieved in World of Warcraft.
Maybe you want to have some nice artwork as your desktop background but you are not that artistic or creative, then you could always take a few screenshots and ask someone who has those capabilities to create a desktop background for you so you can look at those nice moments of your online live when your desktop is visible.

1×1 Art gallery
Stall no. B07,
Hall no. 7,
India Art Summit,
Pragati Maidan,New Delhi.
From – August 19, 2009 to August 22, 2009.
As the capital gets ready for the second edition of India Art Summit with every art gallery choosing the customary option of presenting a group of artists, there is one exception that comes as a breath of fresh air, and art! Dubai-based 1×1 Art Gallery is the only gallery to present a solo artist and will be showcasing a brand new series of works by Calcutta’s renowned and equally reclusive artist Chittrovanu Mazumdar at the summit.
Says Malini Gulrajani, Director, 1×1 Art Gallery: “Most people would shy from showing a single artist at such an international platform. I, however, believe that commerce should be the last concern of a gallery and to do justice to Chittro’s work that I admire so much, a solo exhibit was the only way.”
Reciprocating the loyalty in equal measure, artist Chittrovanu Mazumdar has created for this project a brand-new series ranging from three-four large mixed media works in mediums as difficult and diverse as tar, wax, metal, light and photography that will be wall mounted; a series of small photographic as well as wax works and a sculpture-installation. There are works made of lights on mild steel panel with dimmer, speakers and soundtrack; acrylic paint, wax and tar on plywood and mild steel; wax on plywood with gold leaf as well as tinted silver leaf and few digital works of human and landscape imagery with wax and tar on mild steel.
According to Chittrovanu Mazumdar – “The blueprint for my new works is the cohabitation of opposites.” He explains that by using light-hungry, night-dark tar and the trays of light that feed those depths while simultaneously reflecting off them; he has juxtaposed mythical reverberations of black and white. The human weight of history – of making, of handcrafting – bespoken by age-old materials such as beeswax, metal, tar has been combined with sheer virtuality to produce digital prints, screen images and electronic soundscape. The promise of touch foregrounded through the textured tactility of poured colour or the exposed skin are evident in the prints on display. The curved arc of the containing womb-pod with its eternal potential of bursting, birthing and the unsettling presence of the unknown and the known are present amidst all the neatly framed geometric assertion on the walls.
Another highlight at the summit will be Chittrovanu’s video titled ‘Sleep’ which will be shown at the Video Lounge. The fifteen-minute video showcases the interrogation of the surface where the depths erupt unpredictably through cracks in a seemingly seamless skin; the metaphor of sleep and escaping dreams that inevitably rupture the face of an ostensibly calm and tranquil order as aural signs of disruption, chaos, always imminent and never predictable, haunt the mind.
Says Chittrovanu Mazumdar: “I consider myself as an expressionist painter and believe that art is a private activity for the artist, a search within the individual. To me, work is the space of freedom where everything can move, turn around, transform and become something else. There are structures and systems that one follows up to a point but then gets out of them.”
While this would be 1×1 Art Gallery’s first foray into the Indian market, the artist himself is no newcomer. While his last solo show in Delhi was at Bodhi Art Gallery in 2005, Chittrovanu has shown extensively across the globe since his first art outing in 1985. He has established himself as one of India’s leading contemporary artists. Fusing the intellectual with the sensual in a unique way, the artist has exhibited across the world like at Jehangir Art Gallery (Mumbai); Bose Pacia Modern (New York); Seagull Foundation (Kolkata); Latit Kala (Chennai); Aicon Gallery (London). He had also been invited to display at the Victoria Memorial Durbar Hall, Calcutta (1991) and joined the ranks of the previous two invitees M F Husain and Bikash Bhattacharjee.
Born in 1956, Paris, Chittrovanu Mazumdar studied painting and printmaking at the Ecole Des Beaux Arts, Paris in 1983 after graduating from the Government College of Arts and Crafts, Calcutta with a gold medal. Starting his career as a painter with huge canvases, mammoth solo shows and exploring a broad spectrum of media and technology in his work, his range of references is vast, incorporating inputs from his own culturally rich upbringing in Kolkata and Paris and an astonishing range of eclectic reading in three languages – French, English and Bengali. His work pulls from various influences, be it visual, musical or lyrical. His paintings – using bold brushstrokes, layered imagery, abstract images and elements of collage – express the conflicting experiences and beliefs that exist within modern society and man. His canvases exude intensity and vigor and are representational of his feelings of angst and suppression in a fast paced city. Distinctive by their blaze of colour and a free-flowing application of paint, his works have the ability to seamlessly shift from abstraction to figuration and naturalism. He treats the conventions of modernism not as constrictive theories but as stylistic options, employing abstraction, figuration, the macabre and the jovial all in a single work.
One of his most unsurpassed exhibitions in the past titled ‘Undated – Night Skin’ had amorphous sounds floating in plangent music. Embedded in the ominous military machines were fragments of human experiences – images of living spaces, dreamlike landscapes, panels of intense red impasto like coagulated blood, flowing water, cries, the lights of a city at night, the wail of an infant, a woman alone, sirens and traffic sounds, stained walls and doors and windows, a female voice pleading, a placid pig wallowing in the filth etc.
Equally evocative is the artist’s photography work that he has showcased in the past. His photographs tells a story of a place where violence, vandalism and death have just taken place, producing a comment on the present socio-political situation of India. One of the digital prints shows a calf’s carcass that lies abandoned to its fate, the potential symbols for death and decay, connoting the cyclical nature of life – what comes from the earth goes back to the earth. Says Chittrovanu: “I had a strong interest in photography and began to incorporate my own photographs in my works with painterly intervention or with a third presence, the intrusion of an exterior world. However, in due course of time, I started using photoshop on it. For the photographic series, I had travelled to Jharkhand where I chose a one square kilometer of desolated marshy land as the location and reworked on my clicked images. It was the textual and visual possibilities of a fictionalized documentary that inspired me to do these series.
Continuously reinventing himself for the past three decades, Chittrovanu has always been ahead of his times and moved in a new direction with every show, simultaneously returning to the most primeval of human emotions – fear, hunger, ecstasy, desire. His art boldly blends elements of pop art with abstract swathes of colour, dealing with human paradox and ambiguity, of the seeping grey of daily life that escapes the purity of black and white. What appears to link the very visually and formally different phases of his work is the intensity of sensual immersion demanded by the artist of both himself and the viewer. The viewer feels compelled to unravel the meaning behind the artist’s often fragmented compositions. Through the layers of translucent and opaque paint over collages of images and text, one suddenly notices the vehement gaze of belligerent eyes or a desperately outstretched hand. Mazumdar states, “I enjoy the fact that it isn’t a definite, complete form. The half-formed figure is always in the process of becoming. It remains a promise, full of possibilities.”
