icon whining
Apr. 27th, 2005 09:32 amIt's so hard to be original when everyone always fucking copies you!! >:O
Also, if all you're going to do is cover the original picture in so many effects that you can't even see it anymore, why even bother using an original picture? Just use the effects. Trust me. Much more effective use of your time.
And, omg!, readable fonts! If you have something to say, say it, don't hide it with a tiny/badly coloured/hidden/hard to read font.
As for those who comment on icons, a hint: if you're going to comment on icons don't just say "love them" say "love them for *insert reason here*". Gives the creator better ideas for what people like and what to do more of. Maybe there's an effect you love, but the icon maker won't know you like it and then will never make it again because they thought no one liked it, since no one commented on the damned icons or told them what they liked about them.
Just... some thoughts, is all.
