I've cracked the code...kinda... I think!
Feb. 24th, 2025 09:34 pmFor so many years, I've always been a bit envious of people who make all these goregous icons on LJ/DW. Like how did you do that?! It's so small yet so bold and detailed 🤩 Many blury attempts and a fast forward later, I've been honing my skills in Canva and just a last night I discovered the filters/overlays and pumped out this:

I'm so happy with how it turned out. The image and text are bright and legible for the first time every lol. I worked on this for an hour or so and really enjoyed the creative process. Just trying out this font and that. "No, not this triangle background, maybe no shape at all". It just felt so good to create and to be happy with what came out of the process. Look at me waxing poetic about an icon lol. I just can't wait for the inspo to strike again!
Also, for being a self-proclaimed Sam girl I have an alarming amount of Dean icons right now 😅
