the making of 'threats and smiles'

so I made another Tutorial :) as several people asked about what I did to achieve this effect. I try to keep it simple. if you have problems to follow it, just ask... well, it turned out to be more like a walkthrough...

Thanks! Can't wait to try this out (since I've never really tried shapes in ps before!). :)

You rock. I may actually be able to do this now. **copies vampkiss and adds to memories**

I've started doing the 200x200 thing too, but I always wait until I resize to add the text. I think I'm going to try this and see if it works better, because text it still the most hateful part of it for me.

I'm going to add this tutorial to my resource post.

Wow, very helpful tutorial! I am gonna add it to my memories!

Thank you!

Someone stole your ideas?.... wow... guess that makes you one of the real cool icon makers! ;) Nobody ever steals my icons or ideas... *sniff*.... I guess I am just not cool enough! LOL

You work at 200x200? That's pretty cool. I never thought of doing it like that. Maybe one of these times I'll have to, though.

Thanks for writing this up - I love all the shapes, and the coloring is nice :)
