Finding Your Trademark

I've been reading newsletters from this photo school website and I've actually learned a lot. It teaches you how to find your trademark. It's important to have your own style whether it be angles/depth of field/ or your editing process. I tried HDR and it was just too much work. And it never really turned out how I wanted it. Working on a trademark is not easy, and I think mine will come from the editing side of things. But I've been playing with generic lighting and it kind of gives a cartoon look and it makes my images seem 3D. Needless to say, I'm having fun learning new things.
