I’d just like to say a few things about designing userpics, for those who want to try their hand at it.
- 100 pixels is smaller than you think
- If you need to put text on an image, make sure you can read the text before you deliver the final design
- They’re animated GIFs, not “flash icons.”
- Blurry is rarely a good thing
- Google Image search is your friend.
- Be polite and reasonable.
- Perhaps you should re-think hosting images on Fotki or Virtue.nu, since they seem to fail so regularly.
- Sometimes several people post a userpic simultaneously. It’s not an insult to you.
That is all I have to say. Good night.
