The significance of the Illustration categories     posted on 29th of july, 2008

As a daily reviewer I have come across, and recently even more so, tons of illustrations with misplaced or even unassigned Illustration categories. I'd like to share a few words about the significance of those categories and why it is necessary to assign them correctly.

It is required that contributors assign one of the three illustration categories to their submissions that are not photographs. Even if you do not select any additional categories, selecting the one Illustration category is a must. Why is this so important? Because if you are familiar with our search options, there is a tick to select only illustrations or to entirely leave them out of the results. If you assign the correct category for yourself, the proper options are already preselected in the back-...

    About Me
Kutt Niinepuu (Demonike)
Tallinn, EE

I was born in 1978, into one of the Soviet states of USSR. As far as I remember, life was actually OK back then. For me as a child at least. Looking now at my own 6 year old son, I often think that there were substantially less temptations and distractions at that time when I was young. No LEGOs, no Disney (available), no bubble gum, etc. Nevertheless we were happy. Happy to have our ice-cream or happy to get our lemonade from the lethally dirty vending machines, according to today's hygiene standards.

What I'm trying to say is that THINGS will not make one happy. The more you can choose from the more you want. It doesn't matter in the long run.

As does not matter which brand of camera you are shooting with. The art lies within you. If it is there, then you can equally successfully choose whatever method of delivery you prefer - be it a painting, a black & white negative, or a full colour, razor-sharp digital image. YOU must master the technology of your choosing, not the other way round. So instead of spending your milk-money on the latest and greatest, take some time to deeply understand and control the features of apparatus already at hand.
