Helpful Journals

Today we thought we’d feature some of the most popular, helpful journals from the history of the bubble. These journals have been commented on and favourited by many artists and they contain great little nuggets of info that bubblers have found extremely useful. As a thanks to those who’ve taken the time to share these tips, we’ve featured some of their works in between the links. These bubblers are not only great teachers, they’re also very talented artists …

    PS- At Focus and Lighting, I almost forgot to mention, the “Helpful tips” section is run by Photojournalist Larry Graham. He has been wonderful and gracious enough to give his time to my group.

    Thanks! Without some of these journals I wouldn’t have learned a lot of stuff I do on a regular basis now. I appreciate all the work that goes into them – even though I am not always good at expressing that.

    Sometimes people want to know how to put a flag counter on their front page. For this reason I made a sheet in my art section to help with just such things (because the code wouldn’t show up in a journal). I thought I would share it just in case others want to know! :).

    Click the image below to get an example of a flag counter

    It’s not the most beautiful help page…but it does the job :).

    Note that davoid’s journal on “Resolution” contains the mis-information that “Red Bubble uses the usual photographic aspect ratio of 3:2”. This is, of course, incorrect.
