INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Spend at least 30 minutes every day drawing the things around you in as much detail as you can. This will help train both your eye and your hands to produce detailed and impressive art. Your drawings can be as simple as the objects around you or as complex as landscapes you visualize in your head. The important thing is that you spend time every day exercising your artistic ability. If you're a complete beginner, start by drawing simple things like fruit and objects without a lot of detail. Then, progress to more complicated objects and adding more detail to your drawings. Read books and articles on graphic design websites that focus on designing apps, websites, and other platforms to be as intuitive for the user as possible. User experience is a very important component of graphic design, so it's equally important to study how to effectively design things with the user in mind. Some books to read about user experience include The Design of Everyday Things and Don't Make Me Think! You can find articles on graphic design on justcreative.com and designshack.net. These include principles like alignment, contrast, balance, color theory, and repetition. Having a firm grasp of these fundamentals will help you know how to make effective and aesthetically pleasing designs in any field of graphic design. Using a graphic design textbook or theory book would be the most effective means of studying these core principles. However, you can also study each one independently through various online resources. Practice writing texts for academic audiences (e.g., specialists in a particular academic field), professional readers (e.g., business people or people who do work in that particular field), and the general public (i.e., people with little or no prior knowledge about the topic), using different terminology and grammatical structures for each. Since graphic designers create various designs for a wide range of clients, knowing how to write to different audiences is essential. Although you may think that graphic designers only work with visuals, a lot of design also includes creating written materials (e.g., as part of an infographic or a webpage), so learning how to write is also very important in graphic design. You've probably had practice writing for academic audiences through school, so it'll be more important for you to focus on learning how to write for a general audience. When writing for a general audience, avoid using specialist jargon or overly complicated sentence structures. Stick to commonly used words and phrases that most people will easily understand. Acquire and spend time every day using software that designers utilize to create visual, audio, and text designs. A lot of graphic design is done through this kind of software, so it's important to have a working knowledge of at least 1 or 2 software applications. Some of the most commonly used graphic design softwares include Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.

SUMMARY: Practice drawing every day to build your basic artistic skills. Learn about user experience to get better at making usable designs. Study the fundamental ideas in graphic design theory. Make sure you know how to write for diverse audiences. Get comfortable with using graphic design software.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have straight hair, you can use a large tooth comb to gently detangle your hair. If you have curly hair, be careful not to over comb your hair because you want to retain your curl. If you are trying to get wavy hair, you may want to skip this step, or gently untangle your hair into clumps of curls with your fingers. Grab your hair and place it so it is lying on your back. This method is a good alternative if you get headaches from wrapping your hair on your head. Put the towel on your head so that it rests on the front of your hairline. The long ends of the towel should dangle past your shoulders. Make sure the towel length is even on both sides before you start wrapping. If the towel isn't even, it will be more difficult for your wrap to stay at the end. Take both sides of your towel and bring them around the nape of your neck so the towel is snug around your head. Tuck your towel behind your ears so that your ears are free of the towel. Hold the sides of your towel ends secure at the nape of your neck. Don't hold it so tight that it damages your hair. If you have thick hair that still needs to be dried more after 60 minutes, use another hair wrap towel to replace the damp towel. Keep the second wrap on on until the hair is damp dry enough to let air or blow dry.

SUMMARY: Untangle your hair. Put all of your hair hair behind your head. Place your towel on your head. Wrap your towel around your head. Keep your hair in the wrap for 30-60 minutes or until your hair is damp dry.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Using a light application of perfume or cologne on your pulse points makes you smell fresh. However, spraying loads of it on mid-day to mask the smell of sweat is not a good idea. You'll make matters worse if you try to cover up unfresh smells with strong floral or earthy scents. It's better to find a way to take a quick shower or use cleansing wipes if you don't have time. If you tend to get bad breath after eating onions, or your skin smells like garlic a few hours after consuming spaghetti sauce, choose what you eat a little more carefully. Stick with lighter foods like salads, fruits and vegetables, especially on days when staying fresh is a priority. Eating these foods has the added benefit of keeping body odor to a minimum. Know which foods give you indigestion, too. Common culprits are beans, greasy foods and cruciferous vegetables. Spicy foods may make you sweat more than usual. If your bedroom, car, and other places where you hang out aren't clean, it's going to affect the way you smell and look. For example, if you have a messy bedroom and never hang up your clothes, they might smell a little stale and look wrinkled. Here's what you can do: Put away clean laundry right away, and keep dirty laundry in a closed hamper. Vacuum often, especially if you have a pet. Clean out the inside of your car. Clean out your office and other places where you spend hours of time a day.

SUMMARY: Avoid dousing yourself in perfume or cologne. Stay away from strong-smelling foods. Don't neglect your personal spaces.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Mental health stigma remains the number one reason many people do not get the treatment they need. Worrying that you will be viewed or treated negatively by family, friends, or society actually keeps you from getting better. Feeling shame about your illness or isolating yourself because of it perpetuates stigma. The only way to overcome this stigma is to build your knowledge and self-confidence about your illness by getting treatment. Research shows that when people see effective outcomes for mental illnesses and know people who have been successfully treated, they are less likely to stigmatize or discriminate. Another way to reduce stigma is to stop associating yourself with the disorder. Instead of saying "I'm bipolar", you should say "I have bipolar disorder". If you are ready to tell someone what's going on, it will be enormously helpful for you to reach out for support. Try to find someone in your life who usually supports you without judgment and share some details of what you're going through. If you're not ready for that, it's okay. You can get support in other ways it could even just be spending time together. You could say, "Hey, I need to be around other people tonight. Would you be up for a Netflix binge?" The ability for you to recognize your need, and build up the courage and skills to actually reach out is a huge part of finding support and getting through a tough time. Remember that talking to others about mental illness is a great way to reduce stigma and misinformation. Involving others in your life might also help going to the doctor become less frightening. After you have become more accepting of your condition, another way to overcome your own tendency to suffer in silence is to speak out and influence others to get help, too. Research either a regional advocacy group or a national group (or both) and figure out how you can get involved. Spreading awareness and educating others about mental illness can help fight stigma and discrimination that may be keeping another suffering in silence.

SUMMARY:
Stop perpetuating stigmas. Get support from a friend or family member. Be an advocate.
