Reply:Vera Bradley is kind of cheap, old-laddyishh, not really in style for a young person but if you like it I'd pick petal pink or java blue.
Reply:i love PeaCok i think thats how you spell!
Reply:This one http://www.verabradley.com/Site/Store/Vi...
(Java Blue)
Reply:I love the Pink Mod Flower but if blue if more your thing they have that design in blue. I also heart the capri melon and peacock. Vera Bradley's are good brands and they last long so any color can last you through anything.

What kind of design should my tattoo be?
I want to get a tattoo, although I probably won't for a few years (underage). But I was wondering what kind of design I should get. And where I should put it. I had 2 sisters that both have tattoos in between their shoulder blades. And I was thinking to get mine there too, but I'm not sure. I'm also thinking about getting a tree of life. See, I'm into natural stuff, like the tree of life, the OM sign, stuff like that. I want something that is deep and spiritual, that means something, not just some butterfly. Help?
What kind of design should my tattoo be?
This is such a huge decision because it will be with you forever. It is better to not choose one based on a poll or what you think is cool at the time, but something that has real significance to you personally.
Reply:Its your body, you need to choose... you could go on-line to see what you find or go to tattoo shops and see what the artists can draw up.
Reply:It's good to go with something that reflects your personality. Keep in mind that this is something that you will live with for the rest of your life! That's what you should base the design on...something that is timeless...something that will grow old with you. Personally, I have a celestial moon on my left ankle and sun on the right ankle; I have been called a "walking ouija board" for many years, now I look like one! hehe! This is something I can live with forever...my moon and sun reflect who I am, and that makes the tattoos work.
Reply:I have a tattoo in my lower back it is lady bug and it is lovely, the thing is choose a part of your body you can cover since one day you will be a professional and you won't be respected if you have visible tattoos and on the other hand choose a part of your body that doesn't change too much with the time so you tattoo doesn't change they way it looks!

Reply:I think you should get a design that comes natural to you. you have a few years to find a tattoo that you love, look for one, go on-line, read books that have spiritual meaning behind them and see if there are any symbols that you really connect with. A tatt. is going to be with you forever so make sure it comes from within, because of art that is on your skin should represent your individuality, find one for yourself, be original don't let someone tell you what kind of tattoo to get, you should come up with a design on your known, it will make that much special and that much more spiritual, and meaningful so you actually love your tattoo. But once you have a design, for smaller designs your back, ankle, arm, hip, bellybutton all work fine. bigger designs go with the back, or the arm, there are also places you could place it in spots that are private but for a tattoo like this it should be open and shown to the world.
Reply:um........
Reply:You might want to think about something that's truly meaningful to you. I didn't know exacty what I wanted until I had my daughter and I was 28...Getting mine in 2 weeks. Doing something that is meaningful to you means that you will love the tattoo and more likely will not regret it later...because you're getting something that has meaning to you rather than a design that is "cool" at this time in your life.
Reply:You should really think of this yourself but i would say a rose. put it somewhere you could hid it if you were to go to a formal place.get Hanna while you wait. That will help you see what looks good and were.
Reply:here r my favorites: rose, dragon, the name of your lover, yuor sign, or even your signature. if you are still unsure look on at the tatoos of random people. there are so many tatooed people ot there youl find one you love. remeber once u get a tatto its stuck.
Reply:How about a skull flying out of a fiery lake from hell on your left thigh. Can't get anymore natural than that.
Reply:Don't get one. They are a major turn off.
Reply:well I got a tattoo recently that dealt with my heritage and if you're are into something like that for ex. I got a shamrock because I'm Irish
Reply:You should get it right in the small of your back (lowest part of your back in the middle) and you should get whatever you want.
Reply:Well you could get a rose with a heart around it wich would stand for love. you could also get a heart split into 4 sections that say love life live die. because that is pretty much how peoples lives are.
Reply:Maybe after a few years of thinking, you will be able to make a decision on your own.
Reply:I think it'd be cool to get a cross with vines growing on it, and maybe roses on the vines.
If you wanna get a tattoo in between your shoulder blades, do it. I don't think it's trashy.
Reply:YOU SHOULD GET A TATTOO THAT FITS YOUR PERSONALITY, DON'T GET A TATTOO THAT'S UGLY OR OFF BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET OLD, IT WILL LOOK UGLY, NOT TOO TEASE OR ANYTHING, JUST GIVING YOU FRIENDLY ADVICE, BUT ITS UP TO YOU ON WHAT KIND OF TATTOO TOO GET.
Reply:Firstly, let me say Im NOT anti-tattoo. Ive spent years on and off researching ways to get rid of the two I have; in that time Ive read THOUSANDS of discussions, stories of the regrets people feel about their tats, not just those that made rash decisions, but even those that thought long and hard about the design, the artist and the consequences.
I thought my designs were meaningful, deep, important to me too. Think about a favourite poster, design, artwork of yours, something you think is amazing. Now think of having that same image hanging on your bedroom wall everyday, year after year, forever. I know you're only young, but very few people have the same artwork, hanging on the same wall, of every flat or house they will ever live in. Try it...see how long it takes you to get sick of it. Find some flash, enlarge it, hang it on your bedroom wall until you're legal to get a tat (2 or 3 years??) and see if you still love it as much as you do now. In that time you might have found
dozens of designs that blow your mind, are more amazing than the last one. Get my point???
Get creative...display your personality on your clothes, your books, your hair your walls....COVER your bedroom walls and ceiling in flash and see if sometimes you need a change?
Find a tree of life design, create one yourself, then put it on your wall. There are only 2 things in life set in concrete: concrete....and tattoos!!!!
Reply:like a butterfly on your lower back are a roses

PS NO TRAMP STAMPS IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR BACK UNLESS YOU WANT TO WORK IN A STRIP CLUB, do something classy, not trashy
Reply:Don't get one. Tattoos can give you serious diseases, and take a butload of money to get taken off. Also, when you get older, the color fades, and they just look like major baggage.n lok at this

Reply:There are many different tattoo design websites you can look up on the Internet. First browse around and see what strikes your fancy. You are going to live with this design for the rest of your life and it should be something you won't mind having on your body 10 years from now. I have seen all sorts of both beautifully done tattoos as well as some home jobs that are just the ugliest stuff you ever saw. They also use good long lasting inks now that don't fade. I have even seen glow in the dark ink that is awesome. Be careful when you have it done that the place is clean and reputable, you don't need to get some infection or disease. Ask to look at the portfolios of the tattoo artists work and maybe even ask someone whose tattoo you like where they got theirs. Also take care and follow the aftercare instructions to keep from getting an infection.

How do I design an experiment to find the number of H2O molecules in hydrated copper sulfate??
I know that the formula is CuSO4 5H2O ---%26gt; CuSO4 + 5H2O, but I need to design an experiment to prove it.
How do I design an experiment to find the number of H2O molecules in hydrated copper sulfate??
Take a known mass of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate and weigh it. Then heat it until all the water evaporates and weigh it again.
Subtract the initial weight from the final weight and you get the weight of the evaporated water.
Then use stoichiometry to convert the mass of the water evaporated to moles of the water evaporated.
Figure out the moles of copper(II) sulfate from the weight of the anhydrous copper(II) sulfate and then use stoichiometry to see if the mass of the copper(II) sulfate and the mass of the evaporated water corresponds with that equation.

How can I design my own knitwear?
Hi I've been knitting for about a year now and I feel ready to design my own knitted clothing. Can you tell me of any good books, websites etc that will help me with getting started out. Thank you and merry Christmas!
How can I design my own knitwear?
There's lots of knitting design software out there. It's helpful if, like me, you're not good with math; otherwise, once you're familiar with how to assemble clothing, read patterns, and can calculate gauge, it's not too hard to do on your own. I'd find a basic pattern for whatever you're making and alter at will--a lot of good designs come out of just changing a stitch pattern, adding cables, or what have you. Really, though, it's just familiarity with the process--and the dreaded gauge!
Reply:use graph paper a stitch per square copy one a pattern you have this should then give you some dimensions good luck
Reply:Get a pen and some paper and just start doodling! Something will spring out at you eventually.
Reply:go on amazon and you could always google it?have a fantastic xmas tomorro, hope your day is filled with happy times and a loving family! x x x

How do I learn how to design a website from scratch?
I would like to be able to design a website basically from scratch. Where do I begin? Can I become an expert with DreamWeaver or FrontPage, or is there more to it than just that? I am a beginner who is looking to learn everything about designing, hosting, and managing websites.
Any information to get me started on the right track is appreciated.
How do I learn how to design a website from scratch?
There are numerous tutorials on the Internet to choose from. Are you a visual learner? HTML is the universal language of the Internet. Also, CSS (cascading Style Sheets) are starting to take over as the number one way to format web pages. I'd go to www.w3schools.com and walk through their tutorials first. Dreamweaver is the best edting platform in the world right now. Don't use Front Page as it brings a lot of uneccessary baggage (code) to a site.
Reply:There is no quick bang for bucks or shortcuts in learning all these stuff. You need to get your hand dirty and learn it the hard way if that what it takes and you need to be patient. If you are a beginner, all you need to start off with is a passion to learn and an idea to visualize what you want to accomplish. coding and design is 2 separate discipline but combining skills at both can really get you far. begin with learning all html stuff then css, learn also more about graphics and how it is integrated into a layout design. it's a long step by step learning process but its fun also. get inspiration from other good sites.e.g. look for oswd templates and see how they were done. there's a lot of resources around you, it's given already so all you really need is time and the will to learn. there are books, online resources and the websites where you can find all the information you need.

Who does their design work for them? I simple love it. Which, I guess, shows how good the marketing is. They could be making smoothies out of Bambi, and I would still be first in line!

British Diabetic Association published a report in the latest of their information magazines stating that they are not as innocent as their name suggests.

Right here is a great one!!
Reply:Join ASID. They have sample contracts they provide to their members. There are many ways of charging for your services so you must decide that first. There are also so many more concerns considering liability, sub contractors, marketing, fees and late charges, credit checks, etc. I would suggest purchasing this book: It will walk you through everything you need to know! http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Pract...
There isn't enough time or room in this forum to cover everything. This book is very much so worth the money. You won't be disappointed. It has several sample contracts and a start to finish guide of everything you need to consider when starting your own interior design business.
Just a word on the interior designer title. I don't know your background, but if you are not educated and certified, in most states you cannot use the interior designer title. Check your state laws.

What tools do I need to know to start a landscape and gardening design business?
Years ago I worked in a amateur way in gardening maintenance. I realice that I liked it a lot but I don't have the specific knoledge and experience to start a landscape and gardening design business. I have the feeling that I have the creativity for doing this but of course this is not all. Could someone help me telling me the kind of tools that I would require to start this gradually? Maybe I would requiere to know some landscape design software, etc. In short, what kind of tools would be necesary to have and learn. Maybe the thing would be more complex like doing an Business plan? I'll thank any advice. Chris
What tools do I need to know to start a landscape and gardening design business?
mower
bobcat
trimmers
Edger
Gardener: A truck or trailer to carry your equipment and debris (although some enterprising people have even started without this). A lawn mower, rake, broom, and other small hand tools. Buy your equipment used if necessary, but shop carefully.
Landscaper: Basically you need hand tools and a truck or trailer. To start with most other tools you can rent.
Interiorscaper: A car or truck is necessary, watering cans, and assorted small hand tools.
%26gt;From the basic requirements to start it would seem that interiorscaping requires the smallest capital outlay. This is correct, but starting an interiorscape business is more difficult in other ways. It requires a better understanding of the trade. Indoor plants are much more difficult to maintain. Also, acquiring accounts is not as easy as in outdoor work. Most, if not all, interiorscape accounts will be commercial, as opposed to the residential work of gardeners.
For gardeners and landscapers a truck or trailer is a must, but as I mentioned earlier it is possible to start without one for some work. If you are doing maintenance you may be able to get accounts that will allow you to use their equipment and not require you to haul away debris. You will be expected to work very inexpensively, though. If you can get a truck do so.
For both gardeners and landscapers another source of income is from clean-ups. This is simply a one-time job of cleaning up an overgrown landscape. These jobs are hard work, but can be quite profitable.
In every business you have to contend with the government. Service businesses are no different. Before you get started investigate what is required in your area. Most likely you will need a business license from your city. The state may require a contractor's license or certification for landscape contractors. Most likely your state will require a pest control license if you intend to apply pesticides. Check out all the city, state, and federal rules before you start.

What tools do I need to know to start a landscape and gardening design business?
mower
bobcat
trimmers
Edger
Gardener: A truck or trailer to carry your equipment and debris (although some enterprising people have even started without this). A lawn mower, rake, broom, and other small hand tools. Buy your equipment used if necessary, but shop carefully.
Landscaper: Basically you need hand tools and a truck or trailer. To start with most other tools you can rent.
Interiorscaper: A car or truck is necessary, watering cans, and assorted small hand tools.
%26gt;From the basic requirements to start it would seem that interiorscaping requires the smallest capital outlay. This is correct, but starting an interiorscape business is more difficult in other ways. It requires a better understanding of the trade. Indoor plants are much more difficult to maintain. Also, acquiring accounts is not as easy as in outdoor work. Most, if not all, interiorscape accounts will be commercial, as opposed to the residential work of gardeners.
For gardeners and landscapers a truck or trailer is a must, but as I mentioned earlier it is possible to start without one for some work. If you are doing maintenance you may be able to get accounts that will allow you to use their equipment and not require you to haul away debris. You will be expected to work very inexpensively, though. If you can get a truck do so.

How would you design a primer for sequencing a DNA fragment of Unknown sequence?
If you are given a tissue sample and asking you to sequence DNA.. you don't have any idea about the sequence..And sanger's method is the simplest method for sequencing DNA.. but this method requires a Primer. since you don't have any idea about the given DNA , how would you design primer for it?
How would you design a primer for sequencing a DNA fragment of Unknown sequence?
I like that you post this to Yahoo answers. Makes me laugh.
Reply:You digest the DNA with restriction enzymes, insert the fragments into a plasmid or a phage reacted with the same restriction enzyme(these are called vectors), and transform a bacteria with the vector. This creates a library. You know where the fragments are inserted because the the vector only has one restriction site for the enzyme you choose. The sequence of the the vector is already known, so you can prime on the vector DNA upstream from the restriction site.
Reply:If you have the money and resources, you shotgun sequence it. Use random primers.
Afterward use some assembly software to figure out a tentative sequence for you; then go back and sequence the rest in a less random manner.
If you're specifically trying to sequence a gene, that's easier. You might not know what the sequence is, but you can guess based on homologous sequences from the same organism and other related species.
Reply:Is this from a tissue sample: in other words, from all the genomic DNA? Or is it from a pre-isolated fragment (generated by restriction fragment digest).
In the first case, I would isolate the mRNA and perform rtPCR to get a cDNA library (you can use a poly-T probe to target the poly-A tail of mRNA, IIRC).
In the second case, if you know the restriction enzyme used to digest the DNA, then you know the sequence where that enzyme cuts, and you can design a primer to target that.
Good luck.

Help with graphic design project- personal identity within team?
I have a project for my graphic design degree where we are put in teams of 6 and have to work together to produce an A2 board for each person, depicting their identity/personality. Everyone must work as a group and produce equally high quality work for everyone to pass. This has it's problems. Can anyone suggest ways to help encourage everyone to work together and turn up to all arranged meetings, and also ideas as to how to go about making a team identity and the A2 boards, a little out of the ordinary?
Also, how would one go about keeping a creative log?
Any ideas and tips welcome. I'm not cheating or out of ideas, I have some already. Just looking outside to other people's opinions and ideas! Many thanks in advance.
Help with graphic design project- personal identity within team?
The first thing you can do is tell them that you aren't going to pull the weight for all of you. Demand their participation. If they still don't pitch in, you're going to have to speak with your teacher by letting her know that some within the group are not participating. I know no one wants to be a snitch but no one should have to do group work by themselves. This is your grade. If you're forced to, you have to put yourself first.
As far as the project goes.....the first thing that comes to my mind is, maybe you can find something that you all have in common like a band, singer, movie, TV show or even a favorite artist and go from there.
Not knowing the full aspect of your project, I could be way off but these are things I think of when I have projects like this. Make it something meaningful throughout the whole group.

I love the interior design on girlfriends and I'd like to copy the look. My searches so far only show pictures (very nice that they are) of the stars. I just want a photo of the set - in particular Joan's apartment so i can copy the look. Thanks!

Where is the best place to study photography and interier design in NYC?
Hello!
My older sister (who is currently 19.5 years old) would like to move to NYC to her other sibling (who is at that perioud is living in brooklyn). Since she's interested in art, she'd like to study the subjects of photography or/and interier design.
So, what collages can you advertise? Of course she's interested in well known collages that gives a degree/ diploma that leads to a [successfull] carrer job at that specific subject. Also, please tell what are accepting conditions and what does it require for her to move [from Israel] to NYC? A link to the web address of the collage will be also well appritated as well.
Where is the best place to study photography and interier design in NYC?
Pratt Institute of Fine Arts is world renowned. It is like the Yale of art schools. Of course it is tough to get into. In New York I am sure there are many great Art Schools. What she should do is do her research get into the best school she can THEN move to New York. It will make life much easier for her.

How to pre-design a Set for a Stage Play?
I wanted to know whether there is a technique or a Specific Software with the help of which I can Pre-Design a Set for a Stage Play. This would actually help me playing around with different things and props, thus concluding to the best setting.
If there is one, kindly do mention the name of the Software. It would be great if you can help me out with this question.
Thanks for your time to my query.
Take Care.

How to pre-design a Set for a Stage Play?
I don't know of any actual computer software that would aid you in this task. However, I have had some experience in helping to build stage sets and props and so fourth. Here's an idea, just a suggestion. Call your local college or university or even a local high school and even the local theater group and ask them who is in charge of their theater productions. Go and speak with the person and tell them what you need. With their experience and expertise they probably could steer you in the right direction better than most anyone else. At least thats what I would do if I were you. All I kn ow is a lot of people simply look at stage designs from photos of movies or past plays and they built it. I've never seen any software out there that would aid in this before, but, thats theater for you, secrets of the trade are well protected.
Just trying to be helpful.
Reply:Most professional designers use AutoCAD or VectorWorks Spotlight but they both take time to learn and are very expensive.
Punch Architectural series offers much easier tools that allow you to quickly build walls and add furniture that result in relatively good 3D designs that you can virtually walk thru and see from all audience viewpoints. You don't have the full flexibility of the more advanced tools but it is much easier and cheaper.
I think you can download a free version of Punch and try it out.
Reply:DESIGN.
All the scenery, furniture and props the audience sees at a production of a play make up the set design. The set designer's job is to design these physical surroundings in which the action will take place. The overall look of the set also gives the audience information about the director's concept of the production.
The set should:
suggest the style and tone of the whole production, create mood and atmosphere, give clues as to the specific time and place of the action and offer creative possibilities for the movement and grouping of the actors.
The set may also need to be designed so the backstage areas used by the actors and stage crew are kept out of sight from the audience. This will depend on the effect the director wants to create with the staging and on the type of stage the production uses.
All the things appearing on the stage other than the scenery are called stage properties, or props. Set props like furniture, draperies and decorations are the types of things that complete the set and they need to be part of the set design.
The set designer will normally read the script many times, both to get a feel for the flavor and spirit of the script and to list its specific requirements for scenery, furnishings and props. The time of day, location, season,historical period and any set changes called for in the script are noted. The set designer's focus here is on figuring out everything that may be needed based on the dialogue in the script. Stage directions tend to be ignored at this point in the process.
Collaboration
The set designer will meet with the director and the design team (set, costume, lighting and sound designers), to discuss the details of the set and the director's interpretation of the play. The set, costume and lighting designers also meet and work together to ensure the creation of a unified look and feel for the production. A lively exchange of initial ideas and first impressions helps clarify the steps that each person needs to take in this intensely collaborative process.
Designer's tools
Set designers use several tools to communicate their ideas to the director and the other designers. These include:
a rough sketch of the set in the preliminary phase, floor plans drawn to scale showing from above the general layout of each set and the placement of the furniture and large props, front elevations giving a view of the elements of the set from the front and showing details like windows or platforms, miniature three-dimensional models showing how each set will look when finished.
These visual aids help to ensure that all the theatre artists involved in the production understand each other.
Once the show opens, the designer's work is essentially complete. Now it's normally the job of the stage manager and backstage crew to make sure that every aspect of the production runs just as the designer intended, time after time, until the production closes.

How do I get an interior design license in Utah?
License for what. You don't need a license, you need a tax id number and insurance.
You do NOT need a degree in a college discipline to start and operate a business. If your talent for design is good enough and you work hard and smart, you can run your own successful business. You need classes in Small Business Management, not design classes. Especially, because you have been doing your own design for years. Trust yourself. Apply for a Tax ID# and go into business. Advertise your craft (show some pictures of your work), create a web site, learn to sell yourself. GL DESIGNER!!!

I want to become a model, and i need some design experience what should i do?
What type of jobs can i get with a fahion design degree?
Models definitely don't need a degree they need clients and experience, they need an agent and a personal trainer. Fashion design is really for people interested in merchandisng, buying and textile and fashion design. The key to runway modeling is to get running with it at age 17, going on castings, practicing posing etc. Models usually don't go past age 26. Best of luck

How do I design layouts for myspace and make it easy to save layouts on my website for anyone to use?
What design programs could I use? I have dreamweaver, photoshop, illustrator, indesign, flash.
What Format do I save them in?
Are there specific dimensions, or size constraints etc..?
Where do I get the codes of the layouts I create so they can be inserted into the myspace page, which changes the layout on someones page?
Are there copy right issues when using artwork for cartoons, artists, etc...?
How do I design layouts for myspace and make it easy to save layouts on my website for anyone to use?
All those programs you have will come in handy to design you actual website. Photoshop is good to help you edit your backgrounds which you use for your layouts. However, the actual layout must be written in code. Which means you will need to learn html coding. It is best to learn the code yourself, it is easy! instead of trying to design in a program. I save my codes in microsoft word to put on my website, but other people use everything from notepad to advanced programming software, it will give you the same result.
Finally there are copyright issued with cartoons and such, however, chances are unless you start pulling in millions of dollars no one will do anything. I do not recommend using any copy writed materials. There are many sites on the internet that sell pictures, cartoons, etc that you can buy at a low price, this is the best way to go.
