The Workshop discussion

━━━━━ INTRODUCTION

hello! if you don't know me already, i'm aubree, and i've been roleplaying on goodreads for about seven years now, and making templates for almost half that time. one of the things that i've learned in that time is that the graphics used make a big difference in character template, and as such, this thread was born.

━━━━━ TERMS OF USE

i. you must give credit to me when using these graphics in your characters somewhere in the post (spoilers are ok)

ii. you may use these for your goodreads characters and your goodreads characters only (unless the graphic was intended for otherwise)

iii. you may not use graphics made for another member (including my example graphics from my characters which are never to be used except by me) unless given permission to do so

iv. i'm fine with you asking to complete your request within a certain amount of time; however, i am in fact a busy university student who does this for fun and i have zero obligation to put your requests before my exams

━━━━━ REQUESTS

when requesting, please include the following information so that i can suit your tastes to the best of my ability:

type of graphic:
dimensions: (if unspecified, i will use what i feel is best)
face claim:
specific image(s): (if desired)
desired colors/themes: (optional)
other notes: (optional)

━━━━━ FACE CLAIM DIVIDER

(hide spoiler)] ; feat. jung jin-young, park soo-young, joshua hong, adelaide kane

this is a type of edit that goes well if you want to incorporate images into your template without making it gaudy and overwrought, and also helps divide portions of the profile without having to put section titles (i.e., "history:") which may interrupt the visual flow of your template

━━━━━ RECOLORED / TINTED PHOTO

original: (view spoiler)[
(hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)] ; feat. gong chan-sik

this type of edit is ideal for when you find other images or gifs which you would like to use but have different colors. the example above was used in this context. as you can see, a purple tint was applied to all areas of the photo except for the model himself (so as to avoid freaky coloring).

━━━━━ PHOTO BOOKENDS

(hide spoiler)] ; feat. tao okamoto

this type of graphic is ideal for a one-photo, minimalist template. it involves taking a high resolution photo (at least 545 pixels wide unless you have a kink for pixelation and blurred photos) and cropping out certain parts so that information may be added. if you want one of these, please specify how many divisions for text you would like to be included (e.g., the example has two text divisions). these will be cropped to best suit one-line information; please specify if you would like them larger.

━━━━━ INSTAGRAM DESKTOP HEADER

(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] ; feat. cha hak-yeon

a header for a desktop instagram profile. for use with this template.

━━━━━ INSTAGRAM POST HEADER / FOOTER

(view spoiler)[


(hide spoiler)] ; feat. kim jong-hyun

for profiles that pretend to be an instagram post. works best if the face claim has an actual instagram account, or takes copious amounts of selfies.

━━━━━ PLAYLIST COVERS

(view spoiler)[




(hide spoiler)]

playlist covers for personalized playlists with titles. mine are made for spotify, but i can make them to accommodate any dimensions upon request.
