Community Wallpaper 2011

from WinCustomize Forums

A tradition of sorts that we have here at WinCustomize is a Community “graffiti” Wallpaper that WC members put their tags on.  One of our last ones is posted below.  This is a perfect time to start another one (thanks to Lantec for the reminder), and so we shall!  This is a great way to get some community interaction going, and lets make this the best so far!

We will set the release date for sometime in mid-January.  Tags should be submitted by December 31st. 

Things we need:

  • Your tags should be posted to this thread only.  They need to be a .PNG image with a transparent background.  Tags should be a minimum of 250px, larger ones can be resized. Your tags should be your username or graphic representing yourself with name (no anime or things like that).  Everyone is free to participate, and encouraged to do so!
  • A new wallpaper base image.  We have traditionally used the brick wall image, but I’d like to go in a somewhat new direction and I’m looking for suggestions.  Please feel free to post wall images here.  Wallpaper should have a minimum of 1920 widescreen resolution.  The chosen image will have the honor of uploading the image to the wallpaper gallery!

I kinda hope DaveBax goes with his idea of a pine forest wall....a living, green wall of trees. I'd much rather have my tag on that than on a rock...but that's only me. I'll form up and march with the majority anytime.

Time's getting short.

Dave has it, showed it to me tonight.

I think he'll post it in the AM.

I was thinking more about the visibility of the tags on the wall. If it is too busy then none of them will show up well. #3 and #5 will not load in my browser so can't comment on them!:meow:

I am just not sure how some of the tags are gonna look on the rock...

I could darken it a bit.

That's a good thought....

Reply #334 from WinCustomize Forums Top

My thought was that if it is supposed be about the community members and the tags then should that not be the focus of the artwork rather than the backdrop they are displayed on? Something simple and tastefully done that won't steal the focus? Just my opinion.:meow: <3

A wall in the shape of puzzle which symbolizes individualities which assembled the some in the others form a coherent and playful image of group... in the spirit de WinCustomize.
#92 and #320 .2

I remember that because I think that the most important is the visibility of each tags.

Dark ones like #4 won't work. Some tags would almost vanish against it. Simple and 'airy' I guess. Perhaps the pine forest after all? #5 I can't see so no comment on that one. #6 too.

BTW ... Frankief. Its about as clear as mud to me too lol. I didn't know what was going to happen.I tried pasting the URL on Notepad and separating the lines but ImageShack won't see it to upload. And if I type them here the image will show up like the last time. Oh well.

Number 4 would be the best contrast. :thumbsup:

Reply #338 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Well, I thought i would throw up my trees. Made a great wall for wizard card. I did modify it for the CW.

What he said--------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ok, had time to just put a few on it to see how they looked.I just picked names  at random.

Goals:

  • Represent community members
  • Represent the community "spirit"
  • Represent skinning

So it should be:

  • Easy to read all the tags
  • Look "good"
  • Skinning related

I think #1 fits that best.

Reply #343 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Number one is pretty much that.

Agreed  ( #1 is good.....but it ain't a wall.....just sayin'  ) <_<

Never had a tag so here is my humble submission.

#1 is ok... but the black and gray provide too much contrast with the "screen"...I think they need to be lightened and the 'screen' toned down as well. Just mho.

I like DaveBax's too.

Pretty cool Junior. They may ask you to lose the background though.

Reply #348 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Ok ... one more shot.

Hey Frankief. I think I got it.

This first one shows the full URL.

 

This second one shows the bottom line plus the URL in brackets at the far right of the top line deleted.

This last one shows the left part of the top line deleted starting between the two brackets separating the words gif and IMG.

The last line remaining is the image.
