#2 is sort of what I meant. Essentially, making it look like it was shot on a cheaper or older camera.
Really just personal preference, though.
I see you moderate !weirdcore@sopuli.xyz (is this the right way to mention communities?), what software do you use to create the images?
Depends on what's available. Normally, I use either LibreOffice Draw or GIMP to get the images together; GIMP to mess with the colours and resolution; and Kdenlive (of all things) to add animated text.
If I only have my phone handy, however, I use Apple Photos to change the colours, and Canva to put everything together. Proprietary software is kinda sucky, but it's all I have on my phone.
As for the images themselves, I usually just search "IMG_xxx" into Ecosia or LibreX until I find something that's already a bit liminal or eerie; but I sometimes shoot them myself.
Also, when not using glitter text, I tend to go for red or orange Nimbus Sans. I also often use song lyrics for inspiration.
Hope this helps!
Also, yes, that is the correct way to mention communities.
Thank you very much, I'll try to create some images myself!
