snapdragon76Well, I was noodling around on my new Photoshop Program and decided to try my hand at icons. Now, I've made some before, but they were just cropped pics with no effects of wording.
1)
This is my first one I did. The image was just a sample I took from my hard drive, cropped it and added a filter effect. The wording is pretty visible still.
2)
This one is one I got from a wallpaper I had. "Dearest" is my favorite ending so far and I liked the pic. I used a cross-hatch artistic filter (although at this size, I don't know if you can see it). The wording is supposed to be "no words..." I don't know why I picked that one, I just did.
3)
This I got from a manga scan I did. I always liked this scene and wanted to see what I could do with it. The text is supposed to say "Gotta Love The Ears!"
and lastly...
4)
This one I think is my favorite. I just took a pic I had and cropped it. Blurred the image slightly and put a distort filter over it. There's no text. It kinda has an ethereal, dreamy quality to it.
So, there's my first attempt at being creative. I must say, I am frustrated with the fact that I can't get the text bigger. There's a limit to the size, or I would have made it bigger. Also, I can't do any outlines or shadow effects with the text so it can stand out better against the image itself. I'll just have to muck around a bit more, I guess.
It's May!! And TriMax #1 should be coming my way soon! I'm so excited!! I also want to get "The Last Samurai" when it comes out on DVD tomorrow. Now, I'm off to hunt for some images of Amon from "Witch Hunter Robin" to use. I plan on putting "My Future Husband" on it! ^_^
