This is my first attempt at making a bump.
I know I got the size wrong, but I'll be sure to have it right next time.
Check it out if you want.

Oh, and is the user bump upload going to be brought back or no?
Pretty Cool. That's like 4/5 stars on YT, right?
Since I assume this is your first one, lemme give you some tips.
If you don't have Photoshop, then that's OK, however here's what you should concentrate on.
*Distorting the picture... Somehow. None of my bumps look the way they do when I first find them. It's a huge Photoshop thing, like blurring the images, (I think someone actually named the term for blurring the tops and bottoms of images to give it a different perspective feel, but I don't remember what.) changing the color of the entire picture/bring out colors, and what I like to call "Tagging" the images, so that somewhere they have some form of [AS] logo on it. (I made my own logo.)
*Taking out the [Bumpworthy] "sign" from the bottom of the picture... If you're trying to make them as close to a real bump as possible, and [as] doesn't have their logo on the corner of the screen, then why should you?
*If you choose to listen to ANY of these advice bullets, this one you ABSOLUTELY MUST LISTEN TO! Please, please, PLEASE, have the Picture stretched out to fill the ENTIRE screen. It's nothing more than cleanliness that counts.
Choosing whether or not to listen to my advice it completely up to you. (except the last one) However, since I haven't shelled out anything in a half a year, I might as well tell everyone else how I do things so that they can shell out some kickass-ier bumps.
69 out.
Ah thank you LaughingBoy69.
I appreciate the tips and I will definitely follow them next time.
I actually tried playing around with the picture using a program called Paint Shop Pro, but nothing looked right. I'll try out Photoshop next time.

I don't know if there's a name for faking it, but to photograph an image it's called "Tilt-shift" photography. The tilt-shift lens is hinged, which impacts the depth of field making the image appear to be of a miniature.
I dig it!
