I want to make a review website but i dont know what plugins i need and i dont know how to code any help.

If you are making a website, it’s not plugin you are looking for. You need to register with a hosting service, and then either use a template, or create your website from HTML code.

I’m mystified as to how people put the ends of knotted hemp together to form shapes, rings, etc. I would like to try to make a peace sign for a necklace, and also a ring, but so far I can only make straight things like necklaces and bracelets. How do people make shapes and rings?
I know how to do the square, zigzag, overhand, half, and spiral knots. I just can’t figure out how to put the shape together.

It all depends on the method of the knots. Check out macrame’ books and I even use Chinese knotting books.

Im trying to print on transparent paper.. (the clear sheets teachers used to use for projectors) What is the reasoning of why this certain ink jet printer will not except the sheets?? Ive looked in preferences for the option but there isn’t one the only way i can get it print on the paper is by placing regular paper underneath it and sticking the two together with doubled tape. the problem with this is the tape residue doesnt want to come off of the transparent sheets .

You can print onto transparencies but the problem is that the ink doesn’t seep in the paper with transparencies and won’t dry. Even if it dries, it will smudge and the finished product is not good.

Now, here is the correct paper link for you

I am trying to remember the name of the plugin that helps stabilize shaky videos.

you don’t need any software if you want to create a simple camera shake. just hold Alt (option for mac) and click on the stop watch for Position properties. don’t worry about all those crazy stuff coming up. now you can insert an expression to control the value. just type
Wiggle(4,200)
this mean change the position 4 times a second 200 pixels. you want it faster to move just increase the firs number. you want more shaky just increase the second number.
if you want a more advanced shake that exactly look like a earth quick you just need to search in side of the effects panel to find a preset made out of many expressions. hopefully these expressions has been linked to sliders and other controllers so you don’t need to go through all those expressions and you can control theme using your effects control panel.
I think the key word for finding that preset is "motion". there shouldn’t be so many presets with motion keyword there.

Than plastic bottles when you can recycle the plastic bottles but have to toss the Brita filters in the garbage?

Does somewhere recycle Brita filters?

In Canada, every Brita filter comes with an envelope to return the used filter for recycling. This is not the case in the US for some strange reason. We should really complain to Brita about that.

I’ve been putting my Brita filters in the recycle bin.

Aside from the job of Graphic Designer and web designer… What kind of job can utilize graphic design and web design skills?
Yellow- So you are of the impression that only people who are JUST graphic designers do graphic designs? There are no other fields where that skill comes in handy?

Publication Design
Book Jacket/Cover Design

You can repurpose your skills in so many ways. Graphic design is connected to editorial, writing, artwork, programming, technical skills, web development. It’s really as far as you want to take it

We (eight people) are going to wear white tees and denim jean jeans/skirts. What background would look good with these outfits? I love this idea of a white background and floor, but would this setup no compliment us? I was wondering about the whole white-on-white thing. Thanks so much and God bless!

i would think anything with a dark background to highlight the white tees would look good. possibly even black although that might be a big heavy. a bright red, maroon, burgundy, scarlet, crimson would look good. on the other hand i would avoid greens or light blue because they might not go with the denim, white should definitely be left out because the tees would be lost. a bright yellow or orange could look good or even a brown. if you want a light background think of a sand, beige or light tan.

if you are going for any of the red or light colours you may need to take into account the hair colours so that they do not scream at each other or get lost.

my personal colour would be anything in the purple shades from lilac to a deep rich violet.

think about picking up a paint colour chart from a hardware shop or whatever and they may give you some ideas.

good luck, i am sure whatever colour you decide on it will look great.

How do you see graphic design for business purposes? In the eagerness of selling, is it possible to say that the end justifies the means?

I see graphic design as a very important part to ensure that business run smoothly and people can identify things easyer. If you have a image on a box in a factory, it will take less time for the employee to identify what might be in the box. Kinda like you see arrows pointing "this way up."

If your talking about how a logo or label is used to influence sales of a product, I would say that graphics definitely get justified in the end. That is if it is a well thought out logo and design, one that represents your company as well as your products.

Pictures and Images can be understood by anyone, Visual graphic/arts is a universal language. "A picture can say a million words," in the end you would likely save money on advertising, if pictures are used instead of words.
