Im not sure if this is the right forum but I guess it is because my forum is graphics related and this is the latest content for is so I dunno. If it's not right please move it.

Anyway here is my latest graphical masterpiece, done with 3 stock images and a lot of playing:

Click thumb for full sized picture (Largeish)

It is 1280 X 960 pixels, and it scales down great too. The main purpose is for a desktop background. I am beginning my collection at my site, the is the 3rd so for. They are all available for free download, and you can see thumbnails of the two latest ones on my front page.

I really like the font down the bottom that says Blueletric (It's blue and eletric!), with a nice stroke around it.

Feel free to use it for your desktop, but don't put it on your site unless you ask first please .

Now for the specs:

It's done in Adobe Photoshop V7. It is 1280 X 960 pixels and it's a jpeg image.

I am open to some constructive critism, as I still have the psd file .

Cheers,
WeeVaa.

I think this topic should've been in the Community Discussions as this isn't about graphics or style that're Snitz-related, so that's where I'll move it to

I really like that image, but wouldn't use it on my desktop. Firstly because of the "what color do I set my desktop to?" problem, and secondly because it's so 'busy' that I'd lose track of my icons. Then there's the huge text at the bottom (it'll be even larger on my monitor 'cause it'll have to be stretched to 1600x1200). The text at the top doesn't bother me though 'cause I have a toolbar at the top of the screen

It looks great but at 842KB I think it's not exactly web-friendly.

Well, here's a bit of constructive criticism--it looks very nice and professional, but have you considered an alternate spelling--bluelectric?

FrutZle - I know what you mean about loosing track of your icons, it happens to me. I know its too busy for a desktop really, but thats just what I decided to call it (I guess I dont like the sound of "WeeVaa just having a big screw around in photoshop for no apparent reason )

@tomic - It was such a high file size cause of the high resolution of the stock images used, sorry bout that.

TestMagic - I was going for something unique, us designers are like that .

Cheers,
WeeVaa.
