How Do You Make Smiley Face Icons?
Smiley faces have emerged as a popular way for people to show emotion through text, on the internet, in email, instant messaging and other digital mediums. Because of this, they also are called emoticons. They are most commonly written with the eyes on the left and the rest of the face on the right— although they can be created in either direction. Turn on your computer and open the messaging program of your choice. Make the eyes. The colon and the equals sign are the two most common symbols for making eyes. The colon makes simple, round eyes, while the equals sign makes long eyes. Somewhat less common, the semicolon can be used to represent winking. Make the mouth. The most common emotions are the left and right parentheses, which will create either a happy or sad face depending on the direction your emoticon is facing.
