Graphics Tip #1: News Crew Badge

This is going to be the first post in a series of some tips on how you can use my graphics! The first graphic I will be spotlighting is the News Crew badge!

You can do plenty of things with this graphic!

• If you are in the News Crew, you can use it in your signature or header!
• You can make a page of previous News Crew assignments and/or winners and their articles
• You can make a page of News Crew tips

There are many more things you can do...

What are some of your ideas?

Faces, Faces, Faces!

There are many faces, used by people all over Blogga and Jamaa.
Everything from

XD

to

>:(

For bloggers, faces can spice up your posts and comments (that you leave on others' blogs) by adding emotion, and can help you better connect with your readers!
Not to mention using the right punctuation at the right time.

As in, knowing when to use exclamation marks, etc.


Example:

Blah: I absolutely love that picture of Mr. Q. It is awesome.
Better: I absolutely love that picture of Mr. Q! It's awesome!
Best:  I absolutely love that picture of Mr. Q! It's awesome! :D

Just for the fun of it, I made a chart of all of the faces and their general meanings, as well as some of my own invention/making (they could be made by others first, by I just hadn't noticed :P)


To show happiness:
:D

^.^

To show amusement:
:D

:P

To show silliness or derpiness:
:D
:P
X3
:3
:B

To show self error or derpiness:
>.<

To show a mixture of self error and derpiness:
>.@
@.<
*.*

To show "I said the wrong thing":
:X
:x
:K

To show amazement/wonder:
O.O
o.o
O.o
:O
:0
XO
*.*

To show evilness:
>:)
>:D

To show sadness:
D:
:(
:,(
DX
These should probably be used sparingly, because they tend to have a negative connotation.
To show anger:
>:(
D:<

To show "Not amused/impressed":
:/
:\
:|
.-.
-.-
'-'
"-"
`-`
;_;
,-,
:L
:T
:I

To show "Whatever":
~.~
>.>
<.<


Just remember: Know when to use the right face at the right time!
Believe me, nothing is more irritating than when you're on Animal Jam, and someone is ending every sentence with "-.-" or ".-." and acting superior to you.
Example: Me (I'm an NM): "Can I ask you something?"
Other person (a member): "Fine -.-"
Me: "Do you like rares?"
Other person: "Of course -.-"

It gets kinda obnoxious after a while...




Happy facing!

Birthstone Graphics

Here are the graphic form of all of the released birthstones, with the exception of the Sapphire!

And, of course, the display!

You can make your own birthstone display for your blog!

Like this:

Depending on how full your collection is :)

If you use any of these graphics, please give my blog credit!

Speaking of birthstones, I am adding a new Birthstone page, with information about each birthstone!

In the future, I will probably be adding more informational pages like this, if you are ever bored and want to do some reading!

I will also be adding a page of legends. Not only my own, but legends written by others. Don't worry, due credit will be given. :)

If you want your legend on that page, or Don't want it, just comment and tell me!

Happy Jamming/graphicing!

Looking back....


It probably would have been a good idea to post that I was going on vacation BEFORE I actually went.


:P


Oh well. :P
