I need to get hot on learning this. Maybe one day, we shall experience the marching CAL-bot as he preaches world domination-insanity. (shrug)

It may be sooner than you think. :gossip::insane:

In the Photoshop CS2 "File" pull down menu, "Edit in Image Ready" should be the 5th item. There's also step by step instructions on the interwebs to make animated gifs, if not in the Help folder. (thumbs u

Generally, I chose the graemlins to represent emotions that are tough and/or tedious to get across in a textual format.

 

The idea of the images is to help people communicate the tone and intent often carried by gestures and facial expressions. Of course, lots of funny icons exist, but they aren't necessarily good fundamental communication blocks. They're more complex ideas/jokes. And the problem with supporting those is that you can end up with millions of them.

 

So pretty much, I keep the list to (mostly) fundamental emotional communication that can be used in lots and lots of contexts - and that you don't need to know the inside joke in order to understand.
