br3n Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Im probably going to start creating some desktop wallpapers for a series im calling desktop decorations - no reason other than the fact i want to :) This is the first in the series, I wanted to create something really choppy and abstract while still having interesting content. I took the canadian emblem and chopped it up, moving, deleting resizing whatever i could really and added some "interest" What you guys think? http://www.rideurban.info/br3n/dd/br3n_dd1_1024.jpg br3n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeillyB Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Breasticles! Very nice wallpaper indeed, however I personally find it's too messy around the area where icons and files would be, thus making it difficult to read the filename. This, however, may just be a simple preference of mine - this is how I have my desktop just now: Maybe if you made the split between the design and the blank area vertical instead of horizontal, I'd definitely consider making that my wallpaper of choice!

MR.MONTY Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Yeah i think we are all agreed so far, Minted, but too messy for icons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicH_87 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 its a good effort, but not my taste at all. if i saw that on someone's pc, i would recommend they update their graphic card drivers. maybe lose the blocky bits.

munkee Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I like it.. i dont see what all the bitching about not being able to see your icons as at the bottom 3rd there is empty space for them all to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 what is that picture actually meant to mean? it doesnt seem to have any focal point or subject :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Stop Junkie Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 what is that picture actually meant to mean? it doesnt seem to have any focal point or subject :unsure: It's a background, it's almost designed to be ignored so you can concentrate on the stuff ontop of it. I like it. Wouldn't have it on my PC, but it's cool none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 geez, what you do? take the canadian emblem put it in a box and drop a bomb in??? I dont know brendan, you and your "art".

Rich Pearson Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 what is that picture actually meant to mean? it doesnt seem to have any focal point or subject :lol: There was once this weirdo called Dali, used to paint the craziest f**king things ever, which people have never made any sense of. He's also regarded by many as one of the greatest artists of all time... (N)" I like it br3n, its differnt but it works. Looking forward to see whats next. :unsure: Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biketrialler Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 I know that pictures dont necessarily have to have a meaning but what i would regard as a good image would generally have a main item of focus or at least overall theme, this is completely random and messy, im not meaning to flame and its very well done, the boy has talent and all, i just dont think the final image is that great compared to what he could have made. i look forward to seeing the next done! oh, and will there be larger versions as the link seems to be to a 1024x768 image - thats somewhat tiny for a wallpaper!

br3n Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Each to their own :D Making graphics that have obvious meanings are boring, As i said I set out to create something choppy and random, something you have to really look at to see the fine details, But heh as i said each to their own... Was thinking of doing something like this to create a wallpaper, Me and shriek did this last year. http://www.rideurban.info/br3n_v4/images/mural/vs_shriek.htm Its good working off others, you end up in random places ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom e Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 rich_87, love the image man! i really don't like the typography though, looks awful - would be an amazing piece of design with the right typography. if it was constructed using a psd, try experimenting with the character options and different fonts. it's sweet anyway tom.

skandy32 Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 hello i really like the image001 one.... but i agree with some other people that its maybe a bit too busy. Very impressive nonetheless and i expect it took a while.... i do, however i love your avatar... dont spose you've made anything like that in a desktop size? Having just got a new laptop for uni, i'm fairly short of good backgrounds.... *hint hint :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
