My style would be more of a grunge style, but I've been trying to do more of a smudgy style lately. I think my best would be grunge, however.

EDIT: I think it's because I find using brushes a lot easier than smudging. I like taking brush presets and playing around with them to give different effects though.

My style is feminine and pink and cute with a dash of sociopathic secretary. I love bright, fun signatures though.

I have no true style. Although, I've been known for a messy soft grungy style. Iono though. ;/

I have to say that I hate frilly sparkly styles. I've never been too partial to the "Look at the pretty sparkles and little love stars and x's!!!" unless it has some dark side to it. Dashed borders also annoy me a lot. Don't know why though; it's just a pet peeve.

XD @ Adrian: wrong type of style. we were talking about artistic style, not fashion.

anyway my best style is the pseudo-3d graphics look. I don't use and 3d rendering programs yet I've fooled some people.

Anyhow, I'd say I don't really have a definite style either, but you know, I <3 simplicity.

When it comes to graphics, my style is vector vector vector!
It's gotta have to stick out from the rest in some way.

VECTORS ARE YOUR FRIEND!

I love vector art, but I can never have the patience to do it. XD; I used to do a lot of blending, and clouds and stuff, and they turned out all sparkly and colourful, and then I tried a grunge look that didn't look half bad either. However, I haven't touched Photoshop in close to a year, so everything I make now doesn't look as good, but I'm working on improving. :x

As for my current style... it's really nothing. I can't describe it. XD

Well, I can't really describe my style. Maybe like...dark? Well my last two themes were dark/black but I don't normally make black banners. x_x

I...haven't been making banners for very long, so I don't think I have a defined style just yet. I really like more of the clean cut stuff though, maybe with a certain predisposition towards the brighter colors.

These days, kids think that dressing nicely and conservatively qualifies as dressing preppy. They treat it like it's a bad thing.

I don't see why everyone is so critical about dress sense. It's really sad.

On the subject of what Styles I Use, I don't make themes for myself anymore these days 'cause I don't have the time, but when I did I was always trying to make them better and bigger than before, I was sort of obsessed.

Neither do I.

Apparently, I'm emo, because I dress in black alot? o.O; And this is coming from my own sister. D;

My friends at school would get picked on too, for dressing in black.. I don't see the problem.. It's just a colour. o.o;

People are just idiots more like. C: But it doesn't change much since there's always gonna be stereotypes. I mean, all the emo/goths you find in the city dress in black and people just associate the colour because of it. Admittedly, there has been a decrease in them lately, at least from what I've seen every time I go into central. I wonder what happened to them, the city's suddenly overrun by foreigners instead. ^^;

I haven't touched image editing software in over a year. I feel like +=T H E O U T S I D E R=+.

Gothics originally picked black very happily as a way to distinguish themselves from the crowd. The free-thinkers, that is to say, not the depressed teenage anorexics with their bad poetry. I digress, but perhaps I should introduce a friend of mine, the only logical resolution phenomenon. I observe that all good themes are ridden as horses, then overridden, then beaten once they die of exhaustion, then smashed into the ground, until all self-respect and majesty is gone. Simultaneously, as they are used over time they are introduced to diferent influences they are mixed with contradictions and unnecessary, gratuitous waste (I was meaning to say superfluity, but then the sentence would become a little too verbose), to come into the state of general social taboo. This is the cause behind ovverratedness (it seems to me), and has ruined many a good--slightly socially unacceptable or pessimistic--philosophy or type of thinking. Anyone else notice this, if they will pardon my sentence formations?

I know. D:
I hate people that judge others on the way that they dress.
It's so stereotypical.

That makes so much metaphorical sense, it's almost poetic.

News to me. C:

To me, making your own theme is apart of you. I know lots and lots of people can make better themes then me, and I could request one. But using one of my themes I can feel kind of proud that I made the one in my sig, it might not be the best but at least I made it.
I don't have a prob with using themes from others (I used to use them before I got into theme making), but I just feel better using one of my themes.


As for the way people dress.... not a clue. Seeing how I never really pay any mind to that.... yea. XD

I've made signatures for myself plenty of times, though I never use them XD; I'll work a while on them, and start to not like how they're turning out, and by the time I'm done I don't really like it at all... so I just let them die :x

Yeah, I don't give to much thought to how random people dress. I only pay attention to people I know, and none of them are 'emo' by any means... so yeah XD

My poor graphics skills would destroy any theme I wanted to make for myself. :P I don't mind too much if anyone has a theme, more about the quality of their posts. As for dressing, if something unusual is worn, I'll raise an eyebrow out of amusement and/or curiosity, but I don't judge people's personalities based on it.
