Yeah firestorm is the only way to go lol. I'll be sure to mess with that and see what I get, thank you very much! Ahhh makes a lot of sense I'll grab that and see if I can make/find a projector and mess with it a bit. Thank you very much!

Thank you for the reply! As far as editing software and stuff goes I'm all set. Sorry, I should have been more specific. I mostly just wanted to know about the in world setup for actually taking the image. I use photoshop and all as I'm a graphic designer. Though I will check out Irfanview just to see if it may be any easier/simpler to use for this many images. The save to disk thing helps as I was just going to use a screenshotting tool because I forgot save to disk was a thing. I don't usually take pictures in SL at all. Does the inside out box provide a better environment than just say a hollowed out prim box set to the pale grey you mentioned and full bright? Ahh thank you very much. It looks very nice. The items I have are very simple and wouldn't require the text. It would just be a picture of the item itself and the item being worn. Do you have any lighting tips?

I have a bunch of items I'm about to list on MP. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get decent images of the items. I have a high end PC and can pretty much do anything. I'm not sure if I should have a background, no background, or what. I'm leaning towards doing no background, so I was thinking maybe do a giant white box and set the inside to glow slightly? Are there maybe environment lighting settings or specific graphics settings I should use or set in order to get the best images? Any advice would be great. I would get a photographer, but I have close to 100 items and would cost way too much to have someone else do it since most people seem to charge several hundred or even 1k+ for each picture.

I am a graphic/web designer with 4 years of experience. I have ran my freelance company for 3 years as well as working for various companies IRL. I have even worked on projects in SL for a couple of clubs. I am looking for steady work in the ways of: Web design, hosting, & maintenance | Advertising Graphics | T-shirt graphics | Logos | and more.

My current website is centered around content creators, but here is a link to showcase my quality of work: http://lcemgraphics.com I do have a few examples of graphics I have made for SL specifically.

okay thanks

Yeah the land is just a small area and is all in one building. It's just over 1k traffic after about 3 days of being active. I am hoping they buy ad space but I have a feeling they may not was just hoping there was a group or forum section or something that would be a good place to announce the boards lol.

Hello, I recently set up some land and the traffic is growing at a good rate. I am wanting to sell ad space, but I am not sure where to advertise that. Do I just go around to different store owners and club owners asking them to advertise on my land? Is there a better way to do this?

Hello, I am looking to set up a small business and I only need between 200 and 500 prims.

Hello there! I am Zethnos (or just Zeth for short). I am located on the east coast of the USA (Timezone EST/EDT). I am a male over the age of 18. Yes I do use voice. I only speak English. My avi is over 3 years old. The only times I can not be on SL are: 4pm-8pm: Mondays - Wednesdays SLT 2pm-8pm: Thursdays SLT DJ/Host/Manage - (I can also train DJs & Hosts) I have been a DJ and Host for about 2 years in SL, working in various clubs and doing private events. I only play metal and electronic music. As a DJ I have hosted myself in many clubs where they were short on hosts or had no hosts. I have also been a regular host for a while as well. After about a year and a half of DJing & Hosting, I became a DJ manager. This lasted a few months and then was promoted to a general manager for a few months. I then took a break from SL to focus on RL. I have been back in SL for a few months now. Graphic/Web Design My RL profession for the last 4 years has be as a freelance graphic and web designer. I have my own business, website, and all. I can make simple and complex sites for almost any need. My skills as a graphic designer are in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and a few other programs as well. I can make logos, images, and textures for almost any need (some limits do apply). My Requirements & Contact 100% NO DRAMA - I am a very relaxed person, but I have no tolerance for drama at all. If working for tips, I will need at least a rough estimate of how much I can be expected to earn. If working on a weekly payment, I will need to know what you are offering to pay. If you are looking to hire me for a one time project, all details can be discussed in private. Best way to contact me is through SL (Zethnos Resident). If I don't respond to IMs or am offline, please leave a notecard.

Well I don't have a ton of items, but I am going to put more than one together in a bowser or two so I won't need one of everything sitting out. And the venders I am going to use to sell them are about the size of tip jars I believe. I didn't really want to start off with a store and outside area, I was thinking about buying land big eough for the building itself and just have everthing inside. I was hoping to cut some cost that way haha. As far as how long I am using the land. I am going to use it until it starts bringing in enough money to pay for itself and makes a little profit, then I was going to upgrade the size and possibly have maybe enough room to rent out space for another store, or if It gets poplar enough I might just make that one bigger and have a nice outside area. OR I may even try to open a club with it as well, but for now the goal is to just use the space until it is maing profit and paying the bills for it.

Alright cool. The only thing to do then is attract the initial group of people somehow. Like with the club gestures in return for advertising. Now as far as the land goes, about how many prims and how many sq m is a decent size to start out? 200 prims at 36x36 m?

Cool, I'll try it out then. Thanks. Now would it be better to set up my shop on someones land that rents shop space because of foot traffic, or would it be better to se it up on my own small land?

Yeah I guess I could go around and market to some DJs and club goers that love weird gestures... Shoot I could even talk to some club owners and make gestures specific for them and see if they will advertise me in return... Might work. And as to your question about why not graphic design. I dislike 3D modeling with a passion... I don't like trying to make clothing. I am actually trying to hire someone to make me some stuff haha. But, I have no idea what I would even design. I mostly make things like business cards and posters IRL. I do some fantasy, freestyle, original art on the side though. I mean I am great at making logos and stuff, but I am not sure what all is out there in terms of graphic design in SL other than building/making things like clothing and furnature (which I refuse to do lol).

Okay, how would I market DJ name drops and gestures?

Well I really like DJing and people say they love my voice.... Would DJ name drops, voice overs, and gestures sell well? How would I even make a store for that if I did them?
