I am of the opinion that we might want to remove any branding from a wallpaper or at least make it a central item on our artwork. I say this because of the idea that the wallpaper on the distribution needs to be more pleasant and drive the user to his/her work rather than the image itself. On the subject of creativity, I think it all goes on the eyes of the beholder. While Marcus may think that the wallpaper lacks creativity another person may think that it is the most creative of wallpapers. Eventually the decision will fall on the person that is going to actually package the image. That is his/her issue to deal with IMHO. Surely we should avoid making value statements about a piece of artwork depending on our own personal criteria, however, we should also find balance in making comments that will push a designer to produce new version and think outside the box when making a design for a wallpaper. As I see it with this rendition from Marguerite, I feel that combined with the environment, the color pops and shows character and attitude. My impression is however that we could tone down the contrast on the image just so it does not feel like a flash in the eyes when firing up the computer. Just about 4 steps less contrast or saturation would probably feel more at ease IMHO. Otherwise, great work and don't stop designing! -- Andy (anditosan) anditosan.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
