Do you like the wrinkle effect?

by **Serailia** » Mon Dec 03, 2018 12:05 pm

Many people on the forum have told me very mixed views about the wrinkle on flags. Many, such as me, think it looks good, but many will disagree strongly.
I do like it, because it gives lack of boredom to simplistic designs. What do you think? be sure to vote on the poll, and give your thoughts below!

Depends on what you're using as the placeholder in your flag image spot - if its an actual flag, the wrinkle effect is great. If it's not a flag, like quite a bit of forum users, and another image then the wrinkle effect just simply looks foolish.

Well my flag looks ugly with it, cause it is complex.
but good for you

How do you even apply this effect?

by **The Blaatschapen** » Mon Dec 03, 2018 12:23 pm

It (w)rankles me.

Click on settings and find the flag, then check the wrinkle box.

When you upload a custom flag, there's a tiny box you can check that applies this.

Under "Choose File," is the box saying "Add Ripple Effect."

I think it looks pretty good on my flag

by **The Huskar Social Union** » Mon Dec 03, 2018 12:27 pm

Its alright yeah

by **Dagnia** » Mon Dec 03, 2018 12:27 pm

I don't particularly care for it. It looks okay on some flags, but even on flags it looks good on, I'd rather just see it totally unaltered.

Go to your Settings, then "Create a national flag", reupload your flag and tick the "Add ripple effect".

Gonna throw my hat in the "looks cool on genuinely flag-like designs, but clashes too much with complex imagery" camp.

In the context of my NationStates page being a wiki-like reference for my country, I really don't see the point for a ripple effect here.

That flag would look great with a wrinkle

by **The New California Republic** » Mon Dec 03, 2018 1:57 pm

I obviously use it. Some like it on my flag, other's don't, so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ha, you really think so? I'll keep that in mind, then...

I prefer flags with letters on them to be wrinkle free. Same with complex flags.

Other than that, i like them a lot. I'm glad it's an option.

the red on yellow is two bright, unless you add a wrinkle.

by **Destructive Government Economic System** » Mon Dec 03, 2018 6:25 pm

No point using it since it'll just make my pic look even darker than it already is

It might be good for really bright flags but other than that I'm not a fan

by **Valentine Z** » Mon Dec 03, 2018 6:27 pm

It looks great on symmetrical flags. On other flags or non-flag avatars... not so much.

by **Woods Is Back** » Mon Dec 03, 2018 6:29 pm

Depends on the flag, legit flags... Heck yeah! Slap it on their, but other complex flags, it gets to busy.

by **Abarri** » Tue Dec 04, 2018 4:19 am

Depends on the flag. Mine looks duller with the wrinkle effect.
