cheat sheet for graphic makers

marksgatiss:
- images that are 245px wide can only be 400px tall or they become blurry
- images that are 500px wide can only 750px tall or they will become blurry
- images that are not 160, 245, or 500px wide will be blurry no matter what.
- EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE ARE PHOTOGRAPHY, ART, ETC. Because you will be clicking it to make it bigger anways.
- saving as a png is a popular edit choice
- saving as a jpeg is popular for uploading fan sightings, art, photography, etc.
- always sharpen images you’ve reduce the size of a little bit. it makes it clearer.
- never ‘enlarge’ a photo to fit a bigger size. it won’t turn out nice.
- icons for tumblr avatars are 64x64 not 100x100
- always use 72 dpi {resolution} for edits that aren’t going to be printed.
- always use 300 dpi for things that will be printed / full viewed at a larger size.
- the largest size tumblr will save is 1920px-3000px {give or take some}. So upload your UHQ photos to another site and link in the caption to it. {just to be safe}
- gifs can only be 160px, 245px, or 500px wide.
- commonly gifsets include either 245x140px gifs or 245x245px gifs.
- 160px and 245px wide gifs can be up to 2mb large in filesize and still ‘move’.
- 500px gifs are normally 280px {give or take some} tall.
- 500px wide gifs can only be 1mb large or they will not move.
- do not borrow gifs from other peoples sets to make your own. this is stealing.
- last but not least, NEVER take someones edit / manip /etc to make your own ‘edit’ if they haven’t given you permission. that’s stealing.
160px and 245px wide gifs can be up to 2mb large in filesize and still ‘move’.

This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.
That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.
This is why we download.
Spreading this shit like nutella because goddamn textbooks are so expensive.
not necessarily art related but as someone who couldn’t afford their textbooks this semester this is a godsend
REBLOGGING because after a little digging, I found my $200 textbook for free in PDF form.
friendly reminder that this exists since I know we’re all going back to college soon
Will reblog every time I see it.
characterdesigninspiration:
Quite a few people requested some form of trait/personality generator, and here’s the result! I wanted to keep it vague enough that the options could work for any universe, be it modern, fantasy, scifi, or anything else, so these are really just the basics. Remember that a character is much more than a list of traits, and this should only be used as a starting point– I tried to include a variety of things, but further development is definitely a must.
Could pair well with the gender and sexuality generator.
To Play: Click and drag each gif, or if that isn’t working/you’re on mobile, just take a screenshot of the whole thing (multiple screenshots may be required if you want more than one trait from each category).

tip: When you’re at an airport, add “?.jpg” at the end of any URL to bypass the expensive WiFi and access the Internet for free.

I even found an explanation why it works.
