ADVISORY!!!!

Monday, February 20, 2012

If there is only one thing that you read on my blog and spread around, please let it be this.

There is another person out there using my nickname: LuvinCreations. Her name is Bella, and she owns a group on Yahoo called "Creative Memories". Let me reiterate, this is NOT me!

All variations that I use: LuvinCreations, Luvin'Creations, Luvin' Creations, MissLuvz, LC

All tags that I create follow a similar format for filenames: lc12_artist-tutorial_name
Although this may not be exact, it's similar for every tag that I have made or will make in future. Also you will find somewhere on my tags: LC'12

The 12 is just the year that I created the tag in. If I have to include hidden blurps in my tags in future, such as a watermark, I will do so just to avoid this trouble. In the future, from this date forth, any and every graphic that I make will have "image information" in it. This is not removed when saved, no matter how many thousands and millions of times something is saved.

I have been copyright compliant 100% since 2003 (just after my best-friend Bobbie passed away), at least a year before she created her group on Yahoo!.
Some may have a bit to say about becoming CC and not always being so, but you show me a single person who has been playing with graphics as long as I have, who has no stains on them. You won't, so shush about it. Be glad I have become so and learned and grown.

Anyway, my point is this: If you want to be ensured it was created by ME and not this person who wouldn't know anything about copyright if it up and slapped her in the face, CONTACT ME. I don't want to forget to check an email account for a few months, or years and end up dealing with over 3 hours of reading and replies to emails. I do not have the time for it, with work, school (going to 2 colleges) and family. I have enough on my plate that I don't want to deal with bullshit like this.

To those who emailed me that claim to know me, SHAME ON YOU! How could you claim to know me, and send me shit like that? I will be the bigger person in this and won't broadcast the people's names and some of the horrible things they had to say about me, I will leave it at this... You are horrible people who should look at themselves and their own lives before degrading me.

(I apologize for the viciousness of this post, but I needed to get this information out. I can be a massive bitch, and very cruel when provoked. In fact, I'm rather amazed at how KIND I was in this whole post and in the email replies that I made tonight.)

Reaching Out

Sunday, February 5, 2012

I have noticed lately that a lot of the old PSP tutorial writers, scrap kit makers and various other creators have given up on their sites.

I can understand the need to make room for new things, or just not having the time to maintain a blog or site anymore, or just the lack of funds to do so (for those who were paying to do so). So I am making this offer to anyone who would like to take me up on it. If you would like me to host your pages and files on my site, I will do so. You just need to contact me.

I am doing this for many reasons, the biggest being, I hate seeing the resources that were once available and used in tutorials being lost and no longer available. These creations are all a piece of history, and have taught many people new and creative things.

Each person that wants me to host their items will get their own subdomain, and they don't have to do anything other than point me to their files or send me the files they need hosted. In an email, make sure that you state clearly that you are giving me permission to host your items. I do not and will not claim anything as my own, ever.

You can contact me by email at miss.luvz[@]gmail.com or on yahoo messenger (missluvz05).

Please don't let your hard work fall into the ether. There are so many wonderful things out there that it would be a shame to lose it all no matter what the reason!

Valentine's 2012 Tut-a-thon

Time for the next Tut-a-thon, it was posted as of the 20th over in the Zone Groups. It's much shorter than the last one that I attempted (Christmas 2010) so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to knock it out easily. The links will be able to be found in the navigation areas, as well as in this post!

Copyright Awareness

Monday, January 23, 2012

As many of you know, I'm big on copyright awareness. Recently, I started going to college for Multimedia Design Technology with a specialization in Web Design. One of the classes (four hours worth) was on Copyright.

I came away with alot of useful knowledge after those four hours. At certain points in time, you may see me post something from a lab activity I did for class. Those results are covered under the "Fair Use Act" and I will mark them as such.

The whole point of this post isn't to rile up people, or to have people screaming that I am not Copyright Compliant, or any of the hundreds of other nasty things that can be said in the PSP community. It's because I have seen posted somewhere, I can't recall where at the moment, another misconception about "Fair Use". I asked my instructor several times, in varying ways the same question, "When doing this do we have to give credit to the creator?" Everytime, no matter how I asked it, I was told, "No. You do not because this is for non-profit educational purposes."

Now, the difference between me and the "general public", I am enrolled in an accredited college, and the pieces are being used for my educational purposes. I can post them, but I can not use them as a "portfolio" to gain employment.

In the end, I guess what I am saying is this: If you have questions, contact an attorney or and education professional that is knowledgable on the topic. Don't always rely on a company, group or a friend's blog for your information and guidelines.
