I have been trying to create some wallpapers lately. I am not shure why but the moderators havnt excepted them for the main gallery. Here is the last one that I created.
In my opinion it is really cool but I know that everyone has different Opinions and different taste. Common colors that could be used with many Blinds and these colors are very popular. That is why I chose them.
It is a little busy and wont work with normal default desktop icons. This I do know and I also know that moderation wont exept walls that . And I didnt really work that hard on it? This wall accually was a distorted image of the original image I made which is this-
I opened it with Irfanview and went into the effects and Added Swirl and It turned out to be the Above. The original image was 1024x768 but i added 3 resolutions which where resolutions recomended by someone so that the wall would work on most screen. I included widescreen as one. One porblem was that I was scaleing the image from the smaller to bigger so of course the added resolutions wouldnt be as good quality as the original for people with HUGE screen. If you know what I mean. In order to add the additional resolutions I had to cut the sphere from the middle out of the picture and scale the rest to the resolution and Then pase the sphere back onto the wall resizeing the Sphere to cover the whitel egg shaped Hole. The other resolutions turned out almost as good as the original.
My reason for this post is this... What would you think I could do in the future to make better walls that would be accepted into the main gallery. What do you think went wrong(besides the fact that I didnt start with a larger Image and then scale it to the other resolutions. Is it too busy is I just completely ugly....? You can be honest. I think it is cool but I made it and of course one would love something they made. I was really proud of my self for accomplishing something that I didnt think i could ever accomlish. I was upset about it and very hurt that it didnt get accepted and decided to give up. But I talked to zubaz about it and he pointed out that just becuase they didnt like it that doesnt mean it wasnt good. I will not give up because as zubaz also pointed out to me, by doing this no one wins.
So wallpaper makers help me out. Any advice critique good or bad anything would help. I want to eventually get into every gallery and Walls is one. I am working on WB skinning and icons. Everyone probly knows me as the sound packager guy and I want to go beyond that. Sound schemes are close to the being one of the least important parts of desktop customization. Though I love doing them and will continue I want to do more. Thanks much for anything you can give me in terms of advice.
