	I like all the textless ones the best. XD (Reply to this)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 02:29 am UTC (link)
	XD With most of them, I do too. Text is not my strong point, never has been. :P (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kiokushitaka 2010-05-19 02:31 am UTC (link)
	Well I personally prefer simpler fonts so that's the main reason I don't think I'm as attracted to the ones with the text. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 02:33 am UTC (link)
	I understand that. I try to use simpler fonts but I tend to like the flasher fonts because, sized up, they're easier to read~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kiokushitaka 2010-05-19 02:34 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's 'cause they're designed specifically to be used on posters and such. XD But they don't size down well, so I tend to avoid them on icons. I'll use them all over layouts and banners, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 02:36 am UTC (link)
	I'm noticed that~ I need to find better text that looks good small. I used to use that pixel text all the time but I wanna stray away from that. So, I tend to stick with Garamond and Georgia~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Gerogia is one of my favorites. You should try Tahoma, Helvetica Neue (Arial looks similar to it), Adobe Caslon Pro, Arial Narrow, Arial Black, Century Gothic... and that's all I can think of at the moment. Century Gothic is a favorite of mine to use in all caps. If you don't have these I can try to send them to you, because I know Helvetica Neue costs $700 if you want to buy it from linotype. XD /typophile

	I've heard about Helvetica Neue - a lot of people seem to like it but fuck me if I'm paying for a font. XD I have most of the ones you mentioned save for Helvetica Neue and Adobe Caslon Pro. If you wanna try to send them and if it's not too much trouble, it'd be awesome and I'd appreciate it. :3 (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kiokushitaka 2010-05-19 02:54 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I lucked out and someone else sent it to me from their computer. Here's a file with those two and Casque. Helvetica Neue is in a different font file type than TT or OTF so I don't know if it'll work for you but it worked on my computer... just try to install them. http://www.mediafire.com/?u3yxedykw4l (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 03:01 am UTC (link)
	Looks like that worked fine to me, thank you! :3 (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kiokushitaka 2010-05-19 03:06 am UTC (link)
	Y'welcome. :D (Reply to this)(Parent)

	kiokushitaka 2010-05-19 02:45 am UTC (link)
	Oh and Casque. It's the one I used here. I rather like it for small text that needs to look sort of fancy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 02:47 am UTC (link)
	Never heard of that one either. :o (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kiokushitaka 2010-05-19 02:57 am UTC (link)
	Oh and one more tip! When making icons, make sure when you resize the image to 100 x 100 that you change/edit the DPI to 72 for best font results. :) Anything higher than 72DPI is only necessary if you plan on printing the image out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 03:01 am UTC (link)
	I've never changed/edited DPI so I have nooooo idea how to do that. XD (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kiokushitaka 2010-05-19 03:05 am UTC (link)
	It's in the same dialogue for resize. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 03:07 am UTC (link)
	I found it. Not to be a pain in the ass but what does that do, exactly~? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kiokushitaka 2010-05-19 03:11 am UTC (link)
	1. It makes the file size smaller when you save, I believe I've never really checked. 2. Makes the font look better because it'll be the ideal size for the image. That way 8pts is always 8pts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Makes sense enough to me. :3 I'll try that tomorrow when I work on icontest entries. Thanks, bb. :] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kiokushitaka 2010-05-19 03:14 am UTC (link)
	No problem! I have been meaning to work on a part to to that font tutorial I started I think a year or two ago. XD (Reply to this)(Parent)

	urgent 2010-05-19 03:08 am UTC (link)
	kiokushitaka is correct. It's also in a book for Photoshop 7 that I own. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	urgent 2010-05-19 02:47 am UTC (link)
	You seriously need to start posting icon tutorials. I want to learn how to make lovely icons you have here. :) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 03:02 am UTC (link)
	Maybe one day I will but my style is, admittedly, so repetitive. XD (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	urgent 2010-05-19 03:06 am UTC (link)
	If you say so. :P But I want to learn. icon_tutorial on LJ is full of fail and I'm still trying to find my own way on photoshop. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 03:08 am UTC (link)
	XD I'll try and whip up something for you, bb~ You have been warned though. :3 (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	urgent 2010-05-19 03:10 am UTC (link)
	Yes, dear. :3 (Reply to this)(Parent)

That's why I just explore it on my own. 8D Contrary to popular belief, I never learned any of this in college, as the Graphic Designers tend to use Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign and not Photoshop. Like, ever. The only place I ever learned some of my skills was working for the photographers, and even then it was mostly keystrokes and sharpening techniques and not so much coloring or layers. I just derp around in Photoshop enough.

	urgent 2010-05-19 03:13 am UTC (link)
	While that's true for you, I'm sort of in a different territory here. My new computer monitor has made me look back at my old graphics/icons and think, "People were right when they told me I need much improvement." I want my brain to become like a sponge and soak up as much photoshop information so I can become better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kiokushitaka 2010-05-19 03:18 am UTC (link)
	What I'm saying is there are some things books can't teach. You have to discover them for yourself. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	kiokushitaka 2010-05-19 03:07 am UTC (link)
	I think that's true of everyone. You just have a personal aesthetic and getting in a rut is human nature. XD (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 03:09 am UTC (link)
	I've grown comfortable with my style, ya know? :3 But I do hope to improve at least in some aspects of it. X3 (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kiokushitaka 2010-05-19 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Oh, same here. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	dismantle 2010-05-19 03:21 am UTC (link)
	Already told you this but these are beautiful♥ (Reply to this)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 09:27 am UTC (link)
	ffffff you're too good to me, bb~♥ (Reply to this)(Parent)

	mahou 2010-05-19 08:14 am UTC (link)
	Um yea I saved every icon in this post. I normally never do that so... XD This was an amazing set and I love all the work you put into it. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	lunareuphoria 2010-05-19 09:26 am UTC (link)
	Holy crap, you flatter me! .////. Thank you so much. ♥ I had a lot of fun doing this set, considering that I'm having just as much fun playing Dissidia. I blame the game for this, truly. Thank you, though. You really are too sweeeet~ (Reply to this)(Parent)
