tl;dr

hahaha holy shit no kidding.

Jesus H Roosevelt Christ, you aren't kidding.

It probably wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't words on words - that was just a terrible idea.

The secret itself is about as long as your average K-pop secret, imo, though badly in need of a proofread.

and a real shame too, because it's a topic worth discussing

tl;dr: it's basically about how people being assholes in the internet and in fandom is silly and is definitely not badass, edgy nor cool at all, and refusing to take accountability for your behavior online is immature and only what is "expected" because we have allowed it to be so

^OP

i'm not sure what you mean

are you saying i'm the op? because, no, i am not

if nothing else, i would never make such a terribly designed secret

GIVE ME MORE CREDIT, RANDOM ANON

You're right, that was mean.

lol yeah it was./is such a n00b secret maker

well it is a learning experience and you are far from the only one to submit something like that

if you submit a secret again, aim for legibility in the design, proofread your text and try to cut out excess wording if you can

tips:

make sure there isn't text in the background; the tv tropes page in the background wasn't necessary for your secret to get across and all the text from it competed for attention with your own text

colors: contrast is your friend; if you have dark backgrounds, use the lightest colors for your text, and viceversa

avoid neon or bright colors

there are places to look for legible and clear color combinations if you are interested

align the text in a way that it is easy to read; sure it is tempting to arrange it around your background picture, but if you find yourself having to place your text all over the place, then find a better picture! the picture should serve the secret, not the other way around

use a font size and type that is easy to read, give that priority over the prettiness of the font

save in a format that doesn't blur the text, jpg and jpeg seems to do this, in particular, but not exclusively, with red texts

avoid red text

try to aim for symmetry, in your block(s) of text, both horizontally and vertically, and leave enough space between elements (text, parts of the background picture, borders, etc.), that it looks balanced and pleasant to the eye

oh, and double check double check double check:

if it is the right size (600 x 600 pixels is the upper limit I think)

if it saved correctly

if it looks all right in your computer

if it uploaded correctly

if it looks all right in your image host service

if you submitted a valid link to fandom secrets

Oh thank you so much. That helps a lot. :3

you are very welcome!

it is very much something you learn through trial and error, so try not to feel too frustrated if it's not coming all right or if it looks awkward, even after a dozen attempts

it takes time to get there!

Another tip is to try to avoid things like n!s, s!b, etc. It's just clutter that doesn't add anything. Either incorporate it into the text or leave it out.

If you can sum things up into a tl;dr at the end, consider just making that the whole secret.

well then in that case all is forgiven

(✿◕ ‿ ◕✿)

Shut it Kyuubey. I'm not contracting with you even if you did get new earrings.

i could make your wish come true
