krazy kat's korner

Others have done it much better.
But does this look okay?

And I've been wanting to make this one for a long time, since Tim Busfield replied to my comment about Josh Malina's interview comment about them not being pretty boys :)

Watched Truly Madly Deeply last night and wanted to make an icon.
I know it's not up to scratch, and I can't do text to save my life, but I'm not claiming it to be some fabulous thing or entering it in any contest and it's okay by me. I'd rather be okay with it than tearing my hair out trying to make it perfect. I've got enough stress.

I'm starting to figure out Photoshop I think.
Any thoughts/opinions? I know I'm not very good at it.

I wanted a Susan/Marcus icon (my first great love before CJ/Danny).
Opinions?

I've been playing around a bit, different font colours, installed Photoshop (how the hell do you add borders? It's so easy in Paint Shop Pro, 'Add borders').



Thoughts? The base and border were done in PSP, the font in Photoshop. Might be better if I did it all in Photoshop, but need to figure out how to do the border.

I'm very new and not good at icon making. But I thought I'd have a go at an Allison one.



Any constructive criticism or thoughts?

ETA: Added border per Luna's suggestion, improvement.

Next day ETA:



Back to original blurriness and changed font style/colour per pekeana's suggestions.
