This is my first ever wallpaper.
Don't laugh now...
And oh, yea. for those who like neat and clean, warning:
it's cluttered. really.

I didn't know what to do with it, so I uploaded it to the taskforce...
It's only in one size. 1024 x 768...

Comments?

Good job. The scattered photo effect it nice.

The only thing I could suggest is soften/smooth the edges of some of the pix (i.e. the center one) - the sharp/jagged edges distract a little from the cool over all effect.

nice try ...

there is a small flaw in the FMP logo .. the "metal panels" are showing..

Like it... tho the mix of illustration and anime art is a bit jarring

Nice. For a first shot, that's entirely better than what I could do. It's cluttered as you said, but you could improve it a little, by maybe making the background some kind of wood grain...Like a desk. With the FMP logo as some kind of nametag...It might look stupid, but I think it'd look pretty cool. Good Wallpaper. *saves*.

Difficult.
Gotta look through some photoshop tutorial and the manuals...
Was just experimenting...

Overall the image is very good, and very good use of the "scattered image" design.

Only things to improve on:

- focus on 1 of the animes or the art
- soften jaggies on middle pic ( >>antialiasing<< )
- maybe make dropoff on FMP logo at top all in same direction
