What Site Should We Use?
ACCC
Use whatever feels best to you, but here are some top tools:
- Photopea â A powerful web-based editor, great for fonts and colors.
- IbisPaint â Amazing for digital art on mobile.
- For uploading, try Postimages, Tumblr, or Catbox (less common).
Each of these can really make a difference if you know the basics. Photopea, in particular, coukd be better.
How Do I Pick a Theme?
-
Think of a character or moodâlike a Sonic-inspired theme, which would focus on speed, bold colors, and strong visuals.
-
: Check out Pinterest, Tumblr, or Instagram for ideas. Start with a base concept, but donât rushâlet the vision form.
Looking for Graphic Resources?
For dividers, icons, and graphics, these links have been super helpful to the alien:
Understanding the Base
The base is what youâll build everything on, so letâs go over it.
-
Key Elements:
- Dividers: Only if you want them; theyâre optional but can add flair.
- PNGs: Find character- or theme-specific icons.
- Frames: These give your work structure.
- Backgrounds: Sets the vibe.
-
Avoid Overloading: Too many elements (like lace patterns or excess dividers) can complicate things. Stick to a balanced look, or it can end up looking cluttered. For example, if designing for a soft character like Pinkie Pie, use light, playful icons like balloons or confetti to keep it cohesive.
-
Layers in Moderation: Be mindful of adding too many layers; it can become chaotic and difficult to manage.
-
Customize Your Style: Ultimately, itâs your graphic! Make it simple, elaborate, soft, edgyâwhatever feels right for you.
Choosing Colors
Color selection is where it gets fun! Hereâs how to make it work:
- Select a Color Scheme: Use sites like IbisPaint or Photopea to customize colors. If you need ideas, there are plenty of color palette sites (or feel free to use these ones below!):

- PSDs & Palettes: Tumblr has a ton of PSDs (pre-set color edits) for unique effects. Or make your own and see what fits your style.
