What's the best way to create a 50x50 fanlist styled code/icon without totally killing the quality of the image or text? I'm stepping away for the night but I'm stumped! Graphic design is NOT my passion ლ(¯ロ¯”ლ)

@tabi yes, or the ones found in my guilds page! I figure that some blur in the images is inevitable but I'm mystified over how people manage to get the text to look so crisp! https://inkcaps.neocities.org/links/guilds/

The font used is likely pixel font at a setting that doesn't smooth the font out. I forgot what the setting is in Photoshop and I use Photopea now.

Hm... images are tough but when resizing you can try "nearest neighbor" or sharpen. I would try resizing the image first and then applying the small, pixel font and see what it looks like? This is so that you don't resize both the image and the font at the same time or it might mess with the font.

Resize the image to 50x50 and then zoom in and apply the pixel font that way.

Found the font settings lol. I haven't tone anything type-wise in photopea yet lol. When you're adding font, there's settings for "none", "sharp", "crisp" etc. You can find which one looks best for you, but I usually use "none" when I use pixelated fonts which keeps the edges sharp if I remembered correctly.

Really sorry for the infodump asdfghjkl;' I... have a Photoshop history lol. But that's how I applied the pixel font on my web buttons for example. That's just how I did it though. ;w;

Soulbox is right! Resize and crop your img first then add the font then sharpen. Mess with the sharpen settings cus they all do look slightly different and see which works for you. Try to use an anti-aliased font too

@soulbox @pom thank you so much guys, your advice really helped! In the future I think I'm going to sharpen and mess with the image quality after adding the text and border. Here's what I came up with--concrit would be really appreciated!! ;w; <3 I think the text needs to come over to the left more but let me know what you think! https://inkcaps.neocities.org/gf/codes/mabeltest.png

i think it just needs some sharpening to make it a bit less blurry but otherwise, it looks really good!

Thanks for following, I really think your site is cool!! Like I said for another site, I do really enjoy retro-ish 2000s feeling chaotic sites, they remind me so much of my childhood! You and your website honestly remind me so much of my oldest brother heehee, you both are great! Even just looking at the thumbnail as I'm writing this lets me see so much! It's kind of like a really cool abstract piece. Thanks again!!
