Topic: [GRAPHICS] Magix's Graphics

A while back, there was a thread of wallpapers. I attempted to use them, but they were not desktop-friendly, meaning the difference of colours made the icons very hard to see. I started this thread after making one desktop background, but I will be adding many other things soon. I request feedback so that I may get better at this. As you  may know, I am very nubby, so don't expect any Landil/ Lappi qualitee pictures.

Background (soon to be "backgrounds")

Changed to PNG in original post. I originally uploaded as BMP because Windows doesn't allow .png as an extension for desktop backgrounds, but it seems tees have enough skills to convert files.

great minimalism wallpaper, no epileptic colors, no chaos and one of the most important thing: no MS-Paint. Great work.

Re: [GRAPHICS] Magix's Graphics

great, though this one is not my cup of tea, I encourage you to do more smile

And would you mind to post a thumbnail which links to the high res file? Some ppl might use their mobile phones which - at least here - have limited download rates and high traffic costs. Thx

Question? search function
Short movies? Lappi's link loft
Teeworlds info'n'tuts on gfx? Landil's sketchbook

Re: [GRAPHICS] Magix's Graphics

The unfortunate problem with teestyling is that it requires a number of different colours, which are unsuitable for desktop backgrounds. Backgrounds should be a short, simple message with a simple array of similar colours, primarily one colour, as seen in the green above.

Adding a wide variety of colours makes any text / icons on the desktop very hard to see, and the looks of the background ruin the effectiveness of the desktop. When I start publishing my arts, not backgrounds, you can check for the teestyle big_smile
