About This community is now for the critiquing and presentation of icons by anyone. Questions about programs or certain graphics are also allowed. Just ask :3 And tutorials are very welcome!  » This is an icon-critiquing community. You are more than welcome to share the icons you put in addition to the icons you want to have critiqued here, however, please be aware of the fact the purpose of this community is not simply to share icons. It is a community meant to improve your icon-making skills through the opinions provided by fellow members. You can, however, put your icon community name in your posts or entries, if you are not already posting with that username. IF YOU POST ICONS SIMPLY TO SHOW THEM OFF, PROMOTE YOURSELF OR YOUR WORK, BE AWARE THAT YOUR POST WILL BE DELETED, MARKED AS SPAM, AND YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY RECIEVE YOUR FIRST OFFENSE UNDER THE WALL OF SHAME. » ANYONE can join this community. In fact, I insist that you do! xD » We are looking for people to critique as well as be critiqued, so remain active! » When joining the community, please post something to help us get to know you. Tell us how you found the community, and if you are posting your own work, let us know what program or programs you use so that we and the other members of the community can help you as best as possible. » Please check the FAQ’s [under construction] and the Memories before asking any questions. Sometimes there could already be a tutorial on it or it could be answered in the FAQs! {Note: Memories is still under construction!!} » Requesting is allowed, in moderation and if manners are used. Do not demand an icon or pressure anyone to make anything for you. They are making these out of the kindness of their hearts (and extreme boredom xD) so please be nice about it. » Credit is a MUST if you take icons from this community. Please credit an icon that you may be asking a question about. If you do not know the creator of the iconist, please state this and tell us where you found it so that we or other members may assist you in finding its creator. Follow all of the rules of each iconist. Anyone not following the rules will be thrown into my striking system OF DOOM! Don't know how to credit? Go here! » Please use the request form at the bottom for any requests thankyoumuchly! » When you post icons for a critiquing, please post what series/movie/book/whatever they are from so we can find a lil background on it if we need to. » ICON BASHING IS NOT ALLOWED! Only constructive criticism is allowed. Anyone bashing icons for no reason is automatically banned and all comments by them will be deleted. » When posting icons, please state whether or not you actually want them critiqued and always state what program you use whenever you post. » If you are posting more then 3 icons or any banners/wallpapers, please use an lj-cut. If you do not know how, please go here. » Please do not post anymore then 7 icons for a critique. Also, only post icons for a critique every few days so we aren't overloaded. Thanks! » If you have icons that are R-rated or NC-17 please use an LJ-cut. Icons containing nudity, drugs, curse words, etc. should be under an LJ-Cut also. People should be allowed to browse through this community without getting in trouble. There are minors looking in this community or people could be accessing this from school, work, and home. Please use appropriate warnings in bold. Ask if you do not know how. » No Trolling. Anyone caught trolling will be banned. » Please refrain from tYP1nG LiEK diZS. » Promoting your journal here is acceptable as long as you are posting icons for critiquing. If you wish to Affiliate with us, please comment here. » Tutorials are most welcome in this community, but please check the Memories in case that tutorial has already been done. {Note: Memories is still under construction!!} » (taken from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} psp7_beginners)[Let me make myself entirely clear here when I say I don't want you to post regarding 'it.' By that I am referring to any WAREZ (read: illegal) form of acquiring software. That means PSP7, AS3, plugins or any other related softwares. I remain--as always--opposed to the mention of Kazaa and will have moderators delete any entries/comments that refer to it.]Please do not ask others for a 'pirated' version of PSP7. Don't ask others to 'share' their registration numbers with you. Don't tell others how to 'cheat' and keep the software running beyond the trial period. Please keep in mind that this community was set up for legitimate users (those who have purchased the software--or are seriously trying-intending-to-buy the software) of PSP7. Friends, as softwares go, PSP7 is not a very expensive purchase. Regardless, this community prefers to remain on the side of honest and legal use of PSP7. (Think about how you feel when someone steals from you. End of lecture.) » Striking System: 1st offense: warning 2nd offense: warning and “wall of shameful DOOM” (you may be removed from this after a mod has deemed you worthy enough to be removed xD 3rd offense: bannage  ICONS ETC. Who: Who do you want to make the icon? Type: Banner or Icon? Font: What's the name of the font? Text: What do you want the graphic to say? Effects: Gradient Tools? Blurring Techniques? Try to be specific with the technique you want so we can try to make the kind of graphic you want. Dimensions: Do you want the icon 100x100? Do you want the banner 300x500? We'll have to know the length and width of the image. If you don't care just write so in the form. Image: Give a link to the image so we can get the image. Animated: Please be specific about the animation. Other: Want anything else on your graphic?  Show your support!
