The final #PortfolioDay of 2024! When is it? Open me to find out 👻

BOO! 👻 Hope I didn’t spook you too bad. And I hope this doesn’t either:

The next #PortfolioDay is in ONE WEEK on Tuesday, October 8th, 2024! If you’re a creative looking for work, it’s time to prepare your posts.

But hey, not so fast!🖐️ Did you watermark your images? Did you Nightshade and Glaze them? Let’s run through the steps to get your work ready for the big scary bot-filled internet of today.

Oh, right. The poison. The poison for LLMs, the poison chosen especially to kill LLMs, LLM’s poison. ☠️

If you’ve tried to Nightshade and Glaze your work before uploading, you may have encountered long rendering times. Instead of processing multiple images for your #PortfolioDay post, try creating a single image that features crops of a few of your best pieces! This way you only need to Nightshade and Glaze one image.

Step 0.1 (Optional but recommended!): Crop your work or photograph it from an aesthetic angle. (Keep full images behind a password or paywall!)

Step 1. Compose your best work into a single image.

Step 2. Make sure your work is web-sized and watermark it!

Step 3. Run your piece through Nightshade.

Step 4. Run your piece through Glaze.

Then for the written portion of your post include the following info:

• A short intro.

• The kind of work you’re looking for.

• Relevant experience.

• A link to your portfolio.

• A way to contact you.

• The #PortfolioDay hashtag.

  

  I’m doing my part!
