okayy so it's all a bit crap. & mostly gossip girl but yeahh. lol.






Constructive criticism is appreciated. :)

[aaayotiffany]

they're all really cute. a few of them look like they're low quality photos though. and i don't like the first one in the 3rd row, it looks odd to me.

[karmakiller]

Some of the images look blurry, like the last one in the first row and a few of them in the third row. I would suggest working on that a bit. Also the first and last one in the third row look like they were re-sized in a strange way. But work on the blurry factor.

[TiffanyFactorial]

i'd have to agree with tiffany. some of the pictures aren't the best of quality and the first image looks stretched but all in all they're pretty much gossip girl like. you might want to invest some time into the tutorials on there on image enhancement and icon tutorials. you might find those fun and helpful!

Okie doke. Do you know of any good tutorials like that for GIMP? Cause that's the only thing i have *tear tear* :( lol.

aw no i'm sorry. you should try the trial version for photoshop or something. or download it. :X oh come on, don't punish me because i downloaded photoshop, i know everyone can't afford the darn program, don't tell me that you went out to your local Best Buy and bought the darn thing.

[Insurmountable]

Alright, I think the best one is the one on the left on the very last row. Some of them seem pointless, and also some are very distorted and low quality. You shouldn't stretch out images and stuff like the one of the third row and 4th one over, its stretched.

I think you still need a bit more practice, and try finding better quality images or screen caps.

[brokenhearts--x]

I don't know why they look all stretched cause all I did was crop them :/.

[*absinthe*]

To me, the majority of them don't look like they've been worked on at all.

[markmejia]

I have to agree with absinthe. Most of them are either simply cropped or have really low or blurry image quality.

[brokenhearts--x]

hmm i was going for the simple look. guess i made them look a little TOO simple. lol. thanks for the comments guys xx

Omg. Thanks so muchh. :)

[emmijane]

awwwe i love the icons =]
gossip girl kicks ass<3

[absinthe]

i'm not feeling any of them actually.

i'd say you have to work on your positioning (some are just odd), keeping proportional dimensions when resizing, retaining sharpness, picking better quality base images, and retaining that quality.

[Eww]

3rd row, 4th icon.

it looks like you stretched it a bit too much.
Her face looks longer.

And again, like everyone else said, the picture quality could be better (:

[Heathasm]

theyre really cute. i like the photos you used

[brokenhearts--x]

Okay, is this any better?

theyre really cute. i like the photos you used

Oh &, thank you :)

[Eww]

I think it's a bit too dark.

Perhaps play with the levels/lighting effects?

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Okie doke. Do you know of any good tutorials like that for GIMP? Cause that's the only thing i have *tear tear* :( lol.

Gimp and Photoshop are basically the same. Try the Ps tuts and you should be fine.

[Alatariel]

They look normaal, maybe add some effects?

[Shellie]

aw great effort. a few of them have like low quality though. nice icons though they're really cute. maybe try adding some effects to make them look more interesting =]
