shitty icon meme
Snagged from naushika. Enjoy!
I only started making icons in 2010, so I've not had much time to improve drastically. But I'm doing this anyway because I might be amused by it. Also because I'm putting off actual icon making I should be doing now!
I started making icons in Queer as Folk fandom thanks to insanejournal. I haven't been over there in about a year though, but it holds some of my beginning icon attempts.
THE SHITTY ICON MEME
let's make fun of ourselves!
ICON #1: When It All Began
Your First Shitty Icon
Uh. yeah.
ICON #2: Just Slap Some Text On There!
The Unnecessarily Wordy Icon
I had to put lyrics on an icon for a challenge. I didn't generally put text on icons unless it was specified for the challenges I was doing.
ICON #3: It Doesn't Matter What It Says
The Unreadable Font Icon
This was for a tiny text challenge. I didn't know how to do it (not saying I do now) so I just wrote random shit and made the text super tiny.
ICON #4: It Just Needs A Little Something...
Severe Texture Abuse
I have a lot of these actually, but I think I used a number of textures on this one.
ICON #5: But Everyone Else Is Doing It!
The Shameful Trendwhore Icon!
Not sure if this is really a trend one, but I was trying to do a fancy crop I think. It didn't work.
ICON #6: The Technicolor Nightmare!
The I-Don't-Know-What-I'm-Doing Coloring Icon!
I don't know. Bad colors.
FINALLY: NOW WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
I'm Trying!
Six Of My Most Recent Icons!
These aren't all necessarily my most recent, but they're ones I've done somewhat recently that I actually like. A lot of my recent icons suck almost as much as those older ones do. I'm a slow learner I guess :)
