I would like a new LJ icon made out of this photo as a head-and-shoulders shot without too much TV in the background which says on it (probably very small) A Shining Example of True British Girlhood (possibly in copperplate handwriting font). Does anyone feel like trying it? I am away from my usual image-editing tools or I would do it myself.

Hrm

Everything I tried had the font being essentially unreadable. Too much text for too small of a space. :/

Mmmm, I realise that now :) It's a quotation from 'Daisy Pulls It Off'.

Not quite copperplate, but how's this?

Love your cropping, but the pink's a bit hard to read :)

Yes, I fiddled with the colour for ages, but it didn't quite come out right. I see your other icon-providers were more sensible, and put the writing on the dark parts of the image - obviously four years as a typographer taught me nothing! Hee! ;)

I don't have Copperplate Handwriting, so I used Copperplate Gothic Light. Hope it's okay ^^

This is nice, and definitely has the most readable text :)

But it looks sooo much better with the full shot - thats the whole idea *grin*.



Also a gif there if it shows up better.

I like this composition, definitely. Thank you!
