how to make your own smilies
Nyssa JBrown came with a nice how-to make your own home made smilies. Smilies you could then use instead of the default awkward ones that come with WordPress by replacing them or using such plugins like the More-Smilies plugin. It’s so simple and yet so enjoying to create your own smilies set tailored to your own likings. All you would be needing is some program like Photoshop or Macromedia Fireworks and Nyssa will guide you from the beginning to the end in how to :
- Draw the smilies yourself with the pencil tool
- Add the appropriate background
- Giving the emotion to your numb figure
- Adding those special effects like shade that make it more vivid and snazzy
- Finish up with some tips in how to save them so that they would be displaying correctly everywhere
For this how-to, the smilies would be static one. I don’t know whether she plans to tell us how to make animated one but for the time being, I think there’s enough to keep us enjoying making our own emotions become alive through those funky smiley figures.
Some smiling links for you to enjoy :
Cheers.
