Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: "What program do you use?

A: Believe it or not, Microsoft PowerPoint, you know that program everyone gets with Microsoft Office? I occasionally use GIMP.

The images I use in these graphics are used with permission from Microsoft and Neopets.

Q: "Will you make me something?

A: Tell me what you want the graphic to do and I will try my best to make something you like to accomplish that goal. Maybe you want your shop to look cool; communicate some information people ask you all the time; maybe you want to sell a lot of one item or get people to look at your petpage...just tell me what you want to accomplish and we can work together toward that goal.

Q: "How do you know how to make graphics?

A: The first thing you should know is my computer skills are self-taught. I am an artist of sorts in real-life but with paper, pencil, paint, etc. I consider myself a graphic designer when it comes to the work I make using the computer. I take images someone else made and arrange them in an interesting fashion to communicate an idea. I started making graphics while working in clinical research as part of my job duties. I made Microsoft PowerPoint presentations for doctors who spoke at conferences. Back then, I made the slides and e-mailed them to the art department who turned them into slides. After a while those little slides were not necessary because our doctors started using laptops and projectors. They could just show my Microsoft PowerPoint slides to their audience using a laptop computer. Aaaany way, the clip art available in the early 1990's was not suitable for most of the research topics these physicians were discussing so I needed to change the images that were available and in extreme cases create my own. I discovered that I did not enjoy drawing with a mouse so I deconstructed/constructed clip art and added my twists freehand. The first graphic I ever made was a diagram of the human eyeball! Eventually I added newsletters, forms, manuals, and every other print material a CRO (clinical research organization) could want or need to my repertoire.











Customizing Graphics

Q: "How do I make the image smaller or bigger?

A: You may change the "width=" part of the code which will change the size of the entire graphic without warping it. Try decreasing/increasing it by 25 until you get it just right.

Q: "Help! The image isn't showing up!

A: If any of my images are not showing up, please MAIL me.

Q: "Can I change your graphic a little if I still give you credit?

A: No. When you change it a little it ceases to be what I made. Also, I don't own any of these images.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION:
Please Read


  • I have tried to be as brief as possible but to save you and I time, I have written directions/comments where they are needed. Unfortunately, I don't have time to read 25 mails about anything that is clearly written about here. I am a busy mom of two so my computer time is limited.

  • For optimal navigation use the Navigation Bar and the Back to Top feature. If you don't see the Back to Top button, press Ctrl and the minus key (found on the number pad) which will make the page get smaller and you should be able to see the little box on the right with the word "TOP" written in it. Press Ctrl and the plus key to make the page larger.

  • To view images full/actual size click on the image and then drag the image to the address bar Most images appear smaller on this page to save space.

  • Remember! Not every image here is finished. I have drafts and finished graphics here depending on where I am with each project.

  • Please do NOT remove my username from the images! My username is on every image. I have tried to make it blend in where possible so it will not detract from the image.

  • You may use any image with the word FREE in the box next to the graphic. These images are not user specific images which means they have no player's name on them. If you use the FREE images you may change the size but that is it! If you need help resizing the image go HERE. To use FREE images, click inside the text box, press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V to paste it where you want to use it. Remove the word FREE and plug in your username if necessary and where indicated.

  • Images without coding under them are not to be used for any reason without my written permission. This especially includes the works in progress! No legal ramifications here, I just don't want bad graphics going out with my username on them!

  • If you mailed a request, look for your name HERE to check on the progress. I update the table often. If you don't see your Request listed there, MAIL me. Sometimes I get so much mail I may miss yours.

Also, I've put some Frequently Asked Questions and Answers in the FAQs section (left side of the page). Maybe the answer to your question is there. If not, send me some MAIL and maybe I'll add your question here!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy your visit and will check back in the future to see what has been finished/added! Have a wonderful day in Neopia! ~Mimi

Review/pick-up Your Graphic


What you should be looking at:

  • Do you like the concept? Don't let one piece of clipart or a font stand in the way! If you don't like it, figure out exactly what you don't like. For example...
    • too serious or too silly;
    • the font is hard to read or too curly; etc.
    • BE SPECIFIC.

  • READ the comments (if there are any). Sometimes I will post several versions of a graphic so you can choose between them. Sometimes I may have different colors or fonts on the same graphic instead of making several different images.
  • Accuracy. I do the best I can to catch little things like spelling and having the right wording but sometimes I am just plain tired. Double-check the coding which means click on each link and make sure it works.
  • Tell me what you think as specifically as you can in your mail and don't worry that my feelings will be hurt. As long as what you want is not distasteful I will be happy to change it to suit your needs. My name is going on the graphic so in a sense it represents me. Please understand some changes take longer than others and I will try to make the simplest/least time-consuming changes when possible. If the simple solution doesn't make you happy, I will be glad to make an entirely new graphic but it will take time.

    Mail me when you have seen your graphic(s)...
    • Include your comments with your mail.
    • Please say more that I love it or hate it!
    • After we settle on the graphics I will add any needed coding under the graphic in a text box.
