Challenge 27

Challenge #27 - Wonderwall

In this challenge I want you all to:

1. Go to http://www.wallbase.net
2. Enter a term of your choice in the search box
3. Choose only 1 picture and use it in your wallpaper.

There's no specific theme or keyword, but make sure to link back to the picture you took from wallbase.net and make sure the picture is visible in your wallpaper. i.e: don't take a picture of a flower and only use a part of a single leaf or something.

The URL you'll use to link back should look like this: http://wallbase.cc/wallpaper/685076

General rules apply, but I changed the size of our thumbnail.

1. Your thumbnails must be 500 pixels wide. No borders, no additional effects and it should represent most of the wallpaper, not some part of it. Our previous thumbnail size (320x240) didn't work for all wallpapers, so the only restriction is width from now on. Easiest way to do this would be resizing your image to 500 pixels wide and let photoshop do the rest with the height.

2. Don't forget to tag your entries as 'challenge 27', I'm using the tags when I'm preparing the voting post, you don't want to be left out with a tagless entry.

3. You can post up to 3 wallpapers for this challenge. Each wallpaper should have a different picture from wallbase.net. Don't use the same picture for all wallpapers.

Due date is SEPTEMBER 19, MONDAY 2011
Have fun! :D

And I realized that our official thumbnail size (320x240) just doesn't work for extremely wide wallpapers like these, so I had to crop some parts of these off ;_;

I am having a Chris Evans situation.

Challenge 25 - Hate On Me

I've been thinking a lot about it and I really wanted to challenge you guys, so I came up with this:

Make a wallpaper for something you hate.

Everything from "mildy irritated" to "wanting to kill with fire" is perfectly okay for this challenge.

It can be a book, a person, a movie, a tv show, food, drink, job, etc. OR ALL OF THEM. It might even help you overcome your prejudices if you have any :)

You can either make a wallpaper for one thing, or combine all of them in a single wallpaper and make it a hate overload!

But don't get me wrong: you are expected to make pretty wallpapers! It doesn't mean you can't create good art because you hate the subject.

No restriction other than general rules:

1. Your thumbnails must be 320x240 pixels. No borders, no additional effects and it should represent most of the wallpaper, not some part of it. Please try to pay attention to this, all you have to do is crop your wallpaper with the width 320px, height 240px. The settings look like this in Photoshop.

2. Don't forget to tag your entries as 'challenge 25', I'm using the tags when I'm preparing the voting post, you don't want to be left out with a tagless entry.

3. You can post up to 3 wallpapers for this challenge. All of them can be for one show or 3 seperate shows. Your choice.

*New* due date is JULY 25, MONDAY 2011
Have as much fun as you can! Looking forward to see your work! :D
