How can I make this wallpaper better?
Monday, November 10, 2003 by JM_Zen | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi, I'm looking for some general feedback on my wallpaper. I created it about a week ago, and submitted it soon thereafter. Sadly, it was rejected, despite my high hopes. No offence intended to the fine folks running wincustomize - they have to go through a lot of wallpapers, and I understand, only the best will do.
So how can I make my wallpaper more... submittable, as it were?
Don't bother sparing my feelings; just give me the straight poop! Thanks in advance, to anyone who replies.
Oh, right, and here's the link: http://inkart.homestead.com/files/Trickle_Down.bmp

The name with the pic of money falling like snow lends a visual of homeless Elf's, starving Raindeer and a drunkin Santa

Yess,please compress!Sorry to say ,if I were a mod,I would have passed on this too.It looks like the backdrop for some work at home or financial planning website.As a wall its just too plain for my gawdy taste.I cant take bright white burning into my sensitive retinas.2D work is fine for some but I like depth.

Thanks for the input, guys, I'll convert it to JPEG now, as well.
By the way, I thought of adding more colours and depth, but I lack the skill to pull that sort of thing off consistantly. Any tips for a n00b?

Depth requires shadows and highkights.What graphics program are you using?

I'm glad you asked. I know it might look a little tacky, but the whole point was the capture a visual of "trick down" economics. Not that I understand the theory in any way, but this is the image it conjures up.
That is why there are $ signs.

I definally agree, add depth. It actually looks like something we would spray paint on the wall. Example: GM's Game
You like the green don't you?

Alright. This is great feedback, and I'm getting a consistant response: more colours and depth.
I'll get on it, and see if that will be accepted.
