Wallpaper Tutorials

Hi, Does anyone know any good sites with tutorials for Photoshop for making wallpapers? -Thanks!

Whats to know about wallpapers?

800x600 or 1024x768 are the most standards :slight_smile:

Bright colored backgrounds are usually hard on the eyes so stick with toned down colors.

There is nothing really different in the process of making a wallpaper other than a regular image in Photoshop.

Just make sure to think of the desktop icons :slight_smile: Don’t want the area to be too busy so that the user can’t see his/her own icons :slight_smile:

there really isnt any such thing… just make a document that has the aspect ratio (pixel dimensions) that your screen does… so open a document thats 1024 X 768 and you’ve got a wall paper. Now what you put in it could be ANYTHING so you see there are no tutorials on how to do ANYHTING :stuck_out_tongue:

If you had something in mind, like an effect or style post that and we’ll help you out.

Peace

I posted while all that went down! :o

yeah business near icons is usually bad - but other than that I’d say go with what you like/want! :slight_smile:

Peace

Hey… I’ve been in mexico for the holiday!! My parents own a condo on the beach there, so a bunch of the fam gets together down there for turkey day… soooo much fun, I’m going through my pics right now - I’ll have to post some for you guys!

Peace

But even before that (past few weeks) I’ve been posting a bit less than normal, been soooooo busy, but I’ve just finished a few big projects. Hopefully I’ll have some time on my hands now to mess around a bit.

Awesome, I can’t wait to see some pics!
