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.

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!

Added a few new favorite characters and I dumped the stamps on my about page for some old web dolls--planning on making a separate collections page for stuff like stamps, blinkies, etc.,!
