Well, of course resisting arrest is considered a crime, it’s actually a misdemeanor. Resisting arrest becomes a separate charge or crime on top of the other presumed crime committed by the person being arrested in the United States. It’s also a murky topic which is why I’ve been trying to read up on it. The only source I found that was both credible, and highly insightful was on the site Resisting Arrest, conveniently named resistingarrest.com

Now Wikipedia has a bit about the subject but then they reference the site I mentioned above, and it’s a pretty amusing read. A quick excerpt to show you what I mean:

Resisting Arrest — A Real or Cover-Up Charge?

If you’re suspected of a crime and taken into custody by the police you might be faced with a situation of lawful arrest. Not all arrests are lawful and based upon probable cause.

Nevertheless, if you attempt to resist arrest, or if an overzealous police officer tries to justify excessive force used against you, an additional charge might also be added - resisting arrest.

They’re not biased and tell you what you need to know to avoid that charge. They also give scenarios and have an entire page on the Risks and Realities of Resisting Arrest. Good stuff, check out guys!

Jared Lunde is slowly becoming a popular name in the Online Graphic Design & Web Development industries while keeping the general mystique to it all, and for the past few years, Jared Lunde has built a name for himself in the Logo Design industry in Madison, Wisconsin and generally online too.

Having worked with clients such as Taylor Meade, Zalula, and The Wisconsin Student Lobby, Jared has excelled to the top of the food chain and is slowly securing a reputation as one of the more successful Logo/Graphic Designers in his industry. What makes him a bit special is the fact that he’s multitalented and takes on projects as lead designer/developer whenever he’s hired. And while he is quick to downplay this uniqueness, he has not been afraid to capitalize on it, remaining quite the humble individual. The Wisconsin Logo Designer is on a role!

Here’s why:

Respect-commanding charisma is given to you by nature. All you have to do to unlock it is to have “the key” – the behavior of the “alpha” person.

Some of the Best Logos online are without a doubt, mine. I know how that sounds, but a little arrogance goes a long way in the design industry, trust me. So to many logo designers this post will be taken wrong, only a few may ever get it’s real purpose but this is why, I think my logos are among the best logos online today.

These ones are also among my best logo designs that received the most appreciation from the clients. I guess I did so well a job in their opinion (the only opinion that really matters is your clients) that they both have decided to keep in touch with me since.

They’re unique, one of a kind and for the most part, logo designs no one could have thought of but me, then again most logo designs done by talented designers these days are very much the same way, except their stuff is no where near as funky or unique as my work, because I obviously make the best logos online, which in a way makes me one of the best logo designers out there. Hate me yet?

These 2 are the best logos in the industry, or at least I think so, they’re also 2 of my favorites.

Ego or not, I guess showcasing some of my work in this blog post might help prove that my logos really are some of the best logos ever made, they absolutely rock and I’m not tooting my own horn, well I am, but I mean come on, look at my work! Aren’t they the best logos you’ve ever seen or what?

These 2 logos are among my best logos to have gained acceptance in the design industry and logo designs in general seem to like these concepts.

Business promotional items can help you build a successful brand while also building your client base.

I’m rarely impressed when it comes to graphic and logo design, but this time it’s different. Now i know what a lot of people have been saying about this young girl, they’re saying;

So what’s the deal, she’s 16years old, and into design, who cares?

The design community care, people who are still passionate about what they do care. This girl, at 16 years old is not only designing logos at a professional level, she’s also doing everything in her power to spread the word among other teenagers, that if they want, they can do it too. So she’s not only bettering herself in all this but trying to help others, at just 16.  That’s the deal.

The girl is obviously mature for her age, although at times she may act like she’s just 16, which is ok, because she is! Her designs speak for themselves, mastering such raw talent at such a young age, she has received praise from some of the top logo designers online, she’s starting to get feature slots on many sites and all this in the past couple days when she designed and developed her first site Julie Kapral and her Teen Design Blog.

Some may argue that there are younger designers out there, some just as good as Julie, but if you take the time to look at those designers and Julie you’ll see that she has this passion like nothing I’ve seen before, not even in someone excited about what they do. It comes as natural to her and with her first paying client just a few days ago, you can tell this Teen Logo Designer is on a role, and what a role it is going to be.

Keep your eye on her, she’s going places.

 What a fake contest. I was named the winner of the below fake contest and then not awarded anything, I send the contest starter a PM with my paypal ID and nothing. Some forum that is, they don’t have anyway of protecting us designers, I think it’s appalling. If they’re to hold a contest forum they should add the necessary software, take payment from end user, when winner is selected forward it to winner, take a slice of the pie, that’s how professionals do it. Not like this fake contest forum at V7N.

Recently I joined the V7N Forums. I got to know old friends and met a few new ones in a very short period of time, the community there is by far one of the friendliest I have ever been on. Although it lacks a professional presence and those with knowledge on there could probably be counted on one hand, it’s looking bright as mods and admins are gearing towards a change, a big change I have been told.

I have been reading up on some topics, although few in number some are rather informative, and then I ran into a new contest. It was a T-Shirt Design Contest and after reading the topic starters post, I decided to join and test peoples art abilities on these forums. My entry did not take time to finish and the concept pretty much hit me in the face, it was not at all hard or thought provoking, rather simple, it’s message too was direct and to the point.

The contest is still open and I’m not sure if i’ll win, so far there has been 4 or 5 design entries including mine with a few people working on it still, so who knows. I do hope I win as the prize is $300, and even though to some that’s not a lot, for me it’s a good month worth of living.

Wish me luck.
