My first wallpaper!! :D (Ocean)

[CJ Master]

Hey!! I just made my first decent wallpaper! :) It's nothing too increadibly complex or such, but I enjoy it. =] Being developed within Ubuntu, and with the Ubuntu principles in mind, this is completly free, and your free to do anything you want with it. In fact, I encourage it, I'd love to see some variations or improvements too it. One more thing, if you use it for your desktop, I'd love it if you'd reply so, that'd make my day! :popcorn:

nicely done. keep up the good work

[Genius314]

That's pretty nice. And it's pretty minimalistic, too, which I like. :)

The only problem is that it's only 800x640... my desktop is 1280x1024. So it's pretty small.

[CJ Master]

Thank you very much! :popcorn:

it looks nice, ill put the xubuntu one on my workspace for a few days to see how it looks there.

Awesome, thank you very much! Be sure to tell me how it turns out!:)

Your completely right. It seems that photobucket automatically resized it for some reason. Regardless, I uploaded another one this time with the proper measurements. Be sure to tell me if you want the Ubuntu or Kubuntu logo in proper size!:)

Cheers!

[Crafty Kisses]

Nice job for your first wallpaper. :D

[jedimasterk]

No bad. Middle one the text and logo is to blurry. Try using layers and only a slight blur on background text with sharp foreground text. Basically give the text a drop shadow. And sharp Ubuntu logo.

[stinger30au]

looks great, but the ubuntu logo is too blurred, does not have to be as sharp as the kde one , but definitely sharper


keep up the good work

First off, thanks for looking. =]

Second off... yea I was afraid of that, the blurry logo. If I don't blur it enough it looks pretty bad, but obviously I blur'd it a bit too much. :/

Thanks for the imput. =]

[Bölvaður]

Two questions:


Do you have source for this (.xcf or .svg)
Do you use Inkscape? (if you dont you should give it a try :KS)

[CJ Master]

Thanks for replying :)

1) No, stupid mistake on my part. It's not really fancy though (multiple layers or the such) so you'd probably be just as well of with the normal image then the source.
2) Nope, used gimp. Thanks for the suggestion, i'll give inkscape a try.

[CJ Master]

Bump. =]

[Old Marcus]

Thanks for the wallpapaer mate, I haven't put it on my desktop yet, but it's been really useful for me to text that my blue ink is coming through on my printer, which it finally is, after about 20 odd print head cleanings. :P

[CJ Master]

Hey, I'm really glad you found some use with my wallpaper! !

Thanks a lot for trying it out =]

[lukjad007]

Nice! Too high a res for me, but very pretty.

[CJ Master]

Thanks! But what do you mean by too high? I have a 800x640 and a 1024x1280.

[lukjad007]

Thanks! But what do you mean by too high? I have a 800x640 and a 1024x1280.
I have a 1024x768 screen res. 1024x1280 is too big. :D

[lian1238]

Nice wallpaper!
By the way, what do you mean it looks bad if not blurred? Did you get a low quality logo from somewhere?

Also, don't use photobucket! Use www.gnome-look.org instead. It's meant for wallpapers.

How about making it brown?

A brown... Ocean?!!

http://msp298.photobucket.com/albums/mm266/J2thepxtreme/owl_orly.png

Interesting idea. :P

And It looks bad, because it just seems to sharp... it badly contrasts with the picture.

Gnome-look... will do.

[CJ Master]

Second wall paper realased! Check out topic here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=992537

Thanks Lian, I got the idea trying to make a "brown" ocean :P

[lukjad007]

Will do.
EDIT: Nice.

[MikeTheC]

@ CJ Master:

Very cool.

[alex.rayu]

If it's the first wallpaper then it's ok.
Beter don't blur "ubuntu" logo and text. Place them closer to center and make them smaller (so that AWn would not overlap).

[CJ Master]

Hey thanks very much!

Yea, I didn't do that well with the ubuntu logo >,<

Oh btw, check out my second wallpaper!

[fela]

Personally it isn't to my taste, however I think it's nicely done etc. and it's just me being picky. Hint: try doing a random squiggle of black brush in gimp, and then doing wirl and pinch. It gives a nice effect IMO.Keep up the good work!:o

[lian1238]

Did you copy and paste the logo from another wallpaper? Or did you get the vector version and applied the effects yourself? I recommend the latter.

[petersonj80]

Looks good.. great job for first wallpaper

[Sabayon]

Nice. I like the blurry logo

[chubble10]

cool apart from slightly blurred. try looking on the ubuntu site for a better source image, or nick one from a splash screen!!!

[Mokoma]

may i suggest sharpening the definition of the ubuntu font/logo, as it hurts my eyes :/

[Silver_fox_]

Very nice CJ Master. Like others have said, the logo doesn't look quite right all blurry.
Still like it though. Congratulations on the outcome!

-Ash R

[riza hylviu]

very nice wallpaper and i like the blurry ubuntu logo, it gives the same feeling as the wallpaper. keep up the good work!

[CJ Master]

Hehe, very old topic. But thanks for comments.

Half of the people like blurry logo, and half don't. Not much I can do. :\

I'd like to remind everyone that you're free to edit these, use the base image and put in a sharper logo if you want, and be sure to share with us!

[Jackelope]

Very nice. Keep 'em coming.

[Fzang]

I'm gonna say I don't really like it. It reminds me too much of default wallpapers 10 years ago (everything GUI looked ugly 10 years ago)

But congrats on your first wallpaper, keep going :)

EDIT: dam, didn't notice this topic was old :O

[CJ Master]

Jackelope, thank you very much! =)

Fzang, thank you for sharing your opinion. Yes it's a bit old, but I never complain when my topics are bumped :P I personally don't share your opinion, as I remember the wallpapers from 1999 (Aka, Windows 98) to be increadably bland and pixley. But everyone has their own opinion. =)

[Darkaiser]

wow! nice work
Use Inkscape and GIMP for more experience...

[valex]

did you create this using gimp?

[CJ Master]

Thanks! But do you mind editing your post to not include the whole first post? It's so big. ;)


EDIT: The wallpaper is messed up right now... I think it's photobuckets fault...

even the really blurry ubuntu logo? :/

I would suggest uploading to here, doesn't change anything about your image and gives 3GB of space and bandwith.

Good job mate ;)

[CJ Master]

Yup. Some people like it, some people hate it. Again, the just plain wallpaper is in the first post, so if you want you could add a non-blurry logo and text. Be sure to share it if you do!

[Fzang]

No offense, but I think people are either far too kind or just colorblind. Why does this topic have 7 pages of "wooow gj for first wallpaper!!"? Do ubuntu users have a fetisch for blue?

Sorry, I usually publish my work on a mac forum (though I've never used one :D) so I'm kinda used to different rules...

[CJ Master]

Your pics are OK, CJ!

Thank you. :)

-but now the question: WHY THE DICKENS DO YOU HAVE A WINDOWS LOGO IN YOUR AVATAR???

Because I use Windows more then Ubuntu. ;) I designed the avatar because the logo is a circle, and so is the Ubuntu logo, so I fit a circle within a circle. Clever, eh? ;) Unfortunately none of the logos are transparent, so if you guys happen to find a transparent windows logo gimme a call.

[NinjaNumberNine]

Here's the ubuntu one:

[CJ Master]

Here's the ubuntu one:

Ty, but the Ubuntu logo isn't the problem. If I resize the windows logo to fit the Ubuntu one there's a box shape.

[NinjaNumberNine]

Unfortunately none of the logos are transparent, so if you guys happen to find a transparent windows logo gimme a call. Thats what I was trying to find. I misread and thought you needed a transparent ubuntu logo too. :)

[CJ Master]

Hey, that's a very good job! Personally I'll be keeping my avatar (because I designed it myself and I'm proud of it,) but very nice.

[andru183]

snazzy i like it

[NinjaNumberNine]

Hey, that's a very good job!Thanks! Personally I'll be keeping my avatar (because I designed it myself and I'm proud of it,) Oh, I understand. I did not even mean to make that for you. Just having a little fun :mrgreen: Yours is very good too, I just got a little mad at seeing the windows logo in the center, like we are based on windows. But then, I use windows more than ubuntu also (6 hours a day (homeschooled with AOP Switched-On-Schoolhouse(SOS for short))) and I am sure a lot of us use windows more than we like to admit. But still no thanks to Microsoft, they get *paid* to be good. $) but very nice.Totally.:guitar:(in other words thanks again)


snazzy i like itUh, thanks if you're talking about my logo thingum, but I did not mean to take any attention from CJ. I'll remove the image if 3 more people compliment me (unless CJ Master says I can keep it there.:mrgreen:)

[CJ Master]

It's fine, but maybe you want to make your own topic?

[NinjaNumberNine]

It's fine, but maybe you want to make your own topic?
I am going to remove it, but I don't think it is worth making a new topic. I have a lot of those in my "pictures" folder and I guess It would be better to upload it to deviantart or one of the [display manager]-look.org sites. Thanks for all the comments, though! :)

[MC707]

You will surely want to kiss me after I give you this suggestion. Make a gigantic version of whichever wallpaper you are making and post it in desktop nexus (http://www.desktopnexus.com/). What this site does is automatically detect the person's computer resolution and resize for their resolution, so that way everyone can have their resolution without having to ask you to make them their custom res. Hope that helps, nice backgrounds BTW.

Excellent suggestion. Unfortunately that would require re-doing the entire wallpaper, so while I may do it later I have too much to do right now.

[earthpigg]

Mr CJ,

if you are bored, would you be willing to replace the ubuntu/kubuntu logo with 'Masonux' in whatever font/logo you feel fits best and allow me to use it as such? :D

can you provide the nifty blue without a logo and the logo seperately, as well, so i can play with it if need be?

(or no logo if you don't feel like it -- the blue sans any logo would work.)

Sure, but I need a logo or Font/Size that you want.

As for the blank one without a logo, it's already on the front page. :)

i have zero artistic ability. i will defer to you & your good taste.
