| About me: |
I'm a 20 year old student from the United States. Neopets is my favorite site, and I spend a lot of my time in HC (Help Chat). I own a website, at http://www.dark-stars.net. If you ever come acress the name takarifreak ANYWHERE else on the internet, it's me, and not some imitator. My other account is Artemis1984, but I rarely use it. |

1. WATCH what you screen capture. I see a lot of un-funny screen shots out there. The POINT of a n00b screenies page is to make people laugh, lame screenshots don't accomplish that. Note that screencaps of rewards/accomplishments don't really apply to rule #1. 2. EDIT!! The Images. You don't need the menu, titlebar, or the task bar of the browser/desktop or anything like that. All neopets pages are only 800 pixels wide, that is the ABSOLUTE MAX ANY screenshot should EVER be. If it's from a Chat Topics, each post, provided it's not strectched in any way, is EXACTLY 560 pixels wide if you include black bodered edges. Not only will cutting out the garbage of the image make it look better, it'll download faster, be MUCH easier on your bandwidth (meaning less broken images if you have a lot of viewers), AND give the page a more professional look. 3. Keep the screenies as-is, unless you want to draw attention to a certain word/prase...and then, a simple arrow or line will suffice. If there is WHITE SPACE in the vicinity to make a QUICK comment, thats fine. But the screenie SHOULD NOT be covered in marks and no part of it should be covered. Save your comments for below or beside the screenie. Flooding the image with comments makes it look very disorganized. When you scribble on it, it draws one's attention AWAY from the "object" you captured...which is SUPPOSED to be the focus, and onto you're scribbling. It's NOT your scribbles one should have their attention drawn to...otherwise, the screenie had no purpse for being taken. If you MUST comment in the screenie itself, for the Love of Fyora, TYPE IT! DO NOT "hand" draw it! Writing it out by hand makes it look even WORSE. Not to mention, it take MUCH less time to type it. 4. Save them as a .gif, NOT as .jpg. Jpg will 'Pixilize' the image (since the are pretty low-res. 'pixilizing' is when you see individual pixels when they should all be blended together. A pixilized image will look either VERY low quality, or "fuzzy", especially where one color mets another), and makes it look bad. But DO NOT use MS Paint to save it as a Gif, you'll lose a LOT of quality. Use a better image program or use and image converter (search online for either). Once you HAVE it as a gif, yes, it's okay to edit in MS Paint, since it won't reduce the quality if it's ALREADY a gif. Bitmaps are MUCH too large in disk size...so don't use them! Png is a good alternative that has that quality with a smaller size, if you dont have a good image program to make high quaility gifs. But gif is the optimum format. 5. ERASE the usernames, and anything in their text that may identify them (such as their guild name if it's in their signature)! Otherwise, you may get in trouble for harassment, unless you have permission from any posters involved to keep their name up. Also, when erasing them, BLEND IT IN with the surroundings. Make it look like the username was NEVER there. |
