⋆ DESIGN RESOURCES ⋆ discussion

So, I have:
a) No idea what to do for a group photo
and
b) No idea what to write for the group description

So any suggestions would be much appreciated xD

Hmm, ok haha~ I'll go find some pictures real quick and link them here to give some suggestions, if that's cool :)

And for the description, how about something with the basics like how it's different than just making templates (it's for graphics)? I'll try to come up with something in a sec ^^

So for the group photo, were you looking for something along the lines of tumblr-esque graphics? If so, what kind: (hopefully these look tumblr esque enough xD)

ermahgerd, that Hermione one <3

Yeah, I defo like the feel of those. And yeah, definitely to specify about how it's different than simply templates (I think there's a different group that specializes in that? Customs, or something?).

Yesss the Hermione one xD

Ok cool~ So what would the content of the actual photo be though?

Yeah, Customs does the specialization in templates :) Are we doing templates too or specifically and exclusively graphics?

Mmm, maybe "graphics" or "resources" or something along those lines?

Just graphics. But they can be anything from strictly photos to name banners to gifs to dividers.

Hmm ok, so it's a picture of someone with the words graphics or resources on it? I'm confused, sorry ^^"

Ah ok, awesome~

tbh I don't even know XD
I'm such mess right now. I'm sorry xP
Honestly, even if we found a picture of something random and changed it later, I'd be okay with that.

And I can try to write something up but honestly I've been trying to write a thesis report for the past two hours and I don't think I can articulate anything intelligent right now. So it might take a bit xP

lol ok, i gotcha xD

oh ok, sorry to be a bother about it then haha~ i'll write a few samples up and we can tweak it whenever you want to :)

These may be too short, but it's kind of all I could muster while multi tasking :\ I'm sorry~

Tbh this one sounds like an insurance commercial xD (view spoiler)[[Name] specializes in creating custom graphics to aid in all of your character creating needs.

May seem to similar to customs? I didn't copy or anything, but I went to double check and it looks a bit similar.(view spoiler)[Do you need custom graphics for your group’s aesthetic?

Haha, the first does kinda sound like an insurance commercial XD

I think that the second or third would work just fine? :)

Lol ok cool ^^ Is there anything else you need me to do right now?

Nope~
Unless you find an image for the photo/want to make one, nothing else.

Oh, except — do you think we should leave the group name as simply "resources," or change it?

Ok, if I find an image I'll post it here~

Hmm, I think maybe a different name, but either way is fine :)

Yeah, I was thinking maybe a different name, but I also want it to be straightforward, you know?

Yeah, I feel ya. Resources is straightforward, but it could be more specific maybe?

Maybe "_______ Resources"?
Graphic Resources?
Design Resources?
Template Resources?
Character Resources?

Graphics Galore gawd Aub stop alliteration gets real dorky real fast?
Custom Graphics?

idk

xD hmm, I like design or graphic resources? :)

Hmmmmmmm
Which do you think has a better flow to it?

Design resources sounds more flow-y imo, but I could be wrong haha~
i wouldn't trust my judgement on this, i'm bad with names

Okie dokie, Design Resources it is :)

For a photo, should I whip something up real fast just so we can get this running? And then we can find something better later?

Yeah sounds like a good plan! ^^

Hey Aub, do you think having a folder for people's resources like textures, psds, etc. would be too much? If you think so, then that's ok ^^

(I have some resources in my computer and wanted a place to share~)

Sure, maybe put it beneath the other folders?

Ok, thanks :) What would you like me to title it?

Ahhhh idk DX

Lol. Should I retitle the folder called "Resources" and change it to "Creations"? And then name the new folder for textures and crap "Resources"?

Sorry I'm being a pain in the ass about this xD

That sounds good :)
And maybe write up a little thread to explain what it is?

Haha, okies~ I'm on it! :)

So, what about holding a contest for a group image? And then we can set a deadline, and at the end hold a poll and the winning one will be the new photo.

Yep, that sounds like a good plan~ ^^ Are you going to announce the terms and everything today or tomorrow?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking~

If we want, we can also have one for a masthead

Yeah, I was going to suggest that too~

Check my moderator title, darling ;)

omg omg
i ship jamilton more than that too xD
because jefferson is my honey and no man can take him from me
besides hamilton

it's not gay if it's a three way
with a honey in the middle there's some leeway~

omfg aubree
i can't anymore
this is too damn funny

there are three things I love in life:
• history
• taylor swift ( #queen )
• snl

same~
and maybe add puns to that list on my end

You know
Everyone tells me I'm like John Adams
I don't think they mean it as a compliment
But hell yeah I'll take it as one B)

Fuck yeah take that as a compliment
that guy was a bad-ass (even though he and my hubby were kinda ehhh with each other)
but the 1776 version was even better

(view spoiler)[exhibit a of john adams in his natural state:
(hide spoiler)]

HELL YEAH HE WAS A BADASS
like yeah no he wasn't a perfect president
but it's pretty hard to follow Washington
and he was a damn good lawyer

like all the respect in the world for Adams for supporting what he believed in, even if it meant he was alone on it
like independence (at first)
and the Boston Massacre
and how he handled the stuff following the XYZ affair
like you go, John Adams
don't listen to them haterz

yaaaaas 1776 <3
that comic tho xD

also he married a badass woman
and had at least one badass son

yussss he's so amazing
and his wife (and his famous son too)

honestly all the founding fathers make me giggle because i love them so much
even washington who had human teeth inside his mouth bc dayum he was a very fine president (albeit a poorish general)

it gets me so pissed off thinking about parties though especially after washington SPECIFICALLY SAID "YOU SHOULD PROBS NOT MAKE EM GUYS" and they fucked shit up after that somewhat i mean

Do you think we should have a disclaimer/rules section? Just to make sure no one steals other people's graphics from different websites outside of GR and adds their own text or images to it to claim as their own (i.e. DeviantArt, Pixiv, Tumblr, etc.)? And you know, the other basic rules stuff.

I'm sure most members already know this, but I wanted to run the idea by you first.

(view spoiler)[The Glorious Enna gave me the idea for this btw~ (hide spoiler)]

That sounds good!

I was actually going to ask you — do you think we should offer her a spot as a moderator? Some crazy school stuff (a research paper, a theological research paper, my coach is batshit crazy, anatomy class is making me crazy, etc.) has come up aaaand I'm afraid I can't do as much to run the group so much as supervise, and I know she's good at that kind of thing ^^"

Yeah, I definitely think Enna would be a great mod ^^ (view spoiler)[I could be biased here because she's my long lost twin lol jk but really though (hide spoiler)]
And especially if you're busy, having an extra hand would be great. Enna knows how to organize and keep things going while you might need a break, too, so that wouldn't hurt~ :)

I knowwwwwwww, I wish I could organize like her.
Do you want to message her or shall I?

Omg, same
I'll message her right now ^^ psh i don't have her talking to me 24/7 that's not a thing
