| | |  Madam Malkin's Employees (AVVY MAKERS ONLY)
Due to popular request, I've decide to start a help thread for avatar makers so we can discuss issues that arise.
Rules:
1) To post in this thread, you must have your own thread in Madam Malkin's.
2) You can bring up topics like stealing work, stealing bandwith, people that request the same thing in multiple threads, etc.
3) Try to help each other out with problems so we won't have to bother the mods about everything.
I was thinking that we could also exchange ideas and sites, as well. It's interesting to know how other people work, and I have no problem with giving tips.

Awesome. You can add to it, if you want. It'd be great if we get more people to contribute until the thing's done. |

It does look good!I hate photobucket so much. I've started using walagata.com. I recommend everyone use it, holds a fair bit and is much more reliable.
I tried something, don't know if you'll like it. The other one was a bit dark so I livened it up.
This first one is with a bit of a beveled border (don't know if that's the right term): 
This one doesn't have the border, I prefer this one:

It has many technical difficulties, but I'm fine with it. Sorry that you had to move, M&R (too lazy to type out username, and I don't know your real one).
Looks great so far, and I definitely like the idea of doing a sepia to it at the end. Anyone want to add anything else before HH (sorry, I don't your name either) adds the gradient? Maybe like a 'from the Madam Malkin's avatar makers'?
Yeah, um, the tutorial...taking longer than I expected, but I can't work on it tonight because I have to write a story for English, bleh. I'm a bad girl. | |

Oh, I remember a quote from that scene you could add. It was after Hermione says "It feels strange going back home." And Harry says "I'm not going home. Not really anyway." Or You could put the whole thing. Yup. That's the quote I was thinking of. | |

What about something like "it's not goodbye, just farewell for now" or something like that. Quote: |

Ravenclaw_gal (<i think that is the wayshe does her name) is going through the avatar making sites and posting the same request in each site. She posted the request in my thread, Tara's Icon request, Feanaro's Portfolio, and I am not sure if she posted it anywhere else and i don't have time to check. So just to let you guys know, I am responding to her request with a message that I will not fulfill her request becauseposted that request everywhere. | |

Ok, so Trisha and Christian...will try to remember that.
Josh Groban lyrics were a cute idea. I think the banner's good as is. Someone want to add that sepia gradient to it?

I saw her request like five minutes ago in Tara's thread, so I posted in my thread that she isn't allowed to come back. My patience is running low today, lol.
I'm going to be gone from SS until Tuesday after next because of midterms. I'll come back on tonight to post requests and the tutorial. I'll miss you guys, though... | |

I put a teal tone to it. Like it? If we don't we could do the normal one of the sepia. The Sepia just didn't suit me, but it could just be my program. | |
