I never know what to put here.
I like making tutorials (that's a lie, they take for-freaking-EVER, but I like the outcome!), but I'm very lazy. And I just love snagging .psd files and playing around with them. So I was wondering if there was a preference. And send your f-list to take this poll, please and thank you.

For all the icon-makers out there...

In general, do you prefer tutorials or .psd files?

	I like tutorials, I know its more effort for all but I prefer to do the actual steps and then as well it easier to vary it as you like too..thats just me :) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I have like, three icons I want to make tutorials for. I just don't have the time! Hahaha, yes, I think tutorials are much more helpful to icon-makers who actually want to learn different methods of making graphics. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Unfortunately people have taken to using psds to make their icons for them and have given up on actually learning how to use their graphics programme. I always preface my tutorials by saying I won't give out the psds. With tutorials people learn different way of doing things and can use individual steps in their own icon making process.

	Yeah, I think that's the biggest problem with psds. Like, for me, I don't feel bad about taking psds and fiddling with them if it's just a coloring that I like or something simple, because I already know how to use selective coloring, etc. But if it's an effect I'm not familiar with, I go beg people to make tutorials, not upload psds, because a psd won't help me there.

YES YES YES. I HATE JENNY. I actually do hate her. That stupid, stuck-up little brat. alskhg. And apparently the actress is a bitch in-person too. I mean, wtf, you're 14, you're not even like. MY AGE. Arghhgh god that girl. And the fact that Nate still likes her? Like as a friend. Ah, the only good thing about her being 14 is that she can't get together with any of the guys on the show 'cause it would be illegal. So I won't have to blow a casket.

AND BLAIR. I LOVE BLAIR. I LOVE HER SHE'S THE CUTEST THING EVER. And Jenny like wtf yogurt on her hair? Grow up, you little poser kid. And I was so happy when I thought Blair was going to become Queen B again, but then Jenny used NATE of all people. NATE. Furious right here.

And Chuck. He's my favorite thing on this show, he's absolutely fantastic, and Serena should be ecstatic that he's her step-brother. AND HE SO SWEET, HE FIXED HER A DRINK. aslkghls I would kill to be Chuck Bass' step-sister. No wait, then I wouldn't be able to be with him. Argh, decisions.

AND I'M EXCITED FOR GEORGINA. But I'll stop rambling now, ahah :]

HAHAHA OMG I KNOW I'M SO PSYCHED FOR GEORGINA. It's about time Serena had a little ~*complication*~ in her life. Dan, too. Time to put their relationship to the test when Serena's apparently really bad past comes out. :D :D

NAAAATE. I SERIOUSLY LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM NO MATTER WHAT, LOLOLOL. HE CAN DO NO WRONG IN MY EYES. But yeah, I want him to have an actual storyline soon instead of wandering around like a lost puppy. Jenny sucks for using him like that. NATE IS A GOOD, DECENT GUY. Don't exploit his kindness, WTF JENNY. I bet she didn't even tell him about how she stole that dress and basically acted like an idiot.

Blair is great as Queen B, but I'm really enjoying her as a normal person with no social status, heeeee. I don't know, she's so much cuter like this, and she's so funnyyyyyy, mourning her former life. Obvs I want her to be Queen B again eventually, though.

SERENA KILLED ME WITH HER PERKINESS, BTW. So funny, omg ilu Serenaaaaa.

This episode made me appreciate Chuck so much more. YAY CHUCK.

YES THANK YOU. God Dan and Serena annoy me so much, they're so perfect and whee and god please have drama.

EXACTLY. Jenny doesn't DESERVE Nate being nice to her. She doesn't, she needs to break her insanely huge heels that a highschooler wouldn't wear on such a daily basis in one of those grate things and then die.

CHUCK IS THE BEST THING EVER. WITH BLAIR. Those two are just so full of awesome it hurts.

	TUTORIALS. More fun than .psds because you can mess around and learn more (well, I do). I've been awake for almost 40 hours. WOO-HOO. I am SO glad this fiasco of a project is due Friday so I can be (almost) rid of it. Preparing an oral defense after this will be a breeze. blows away (Reply to this)
