4 Wallpapers; seasonal themed

[elfenstein]

Hi, this here are one of my first tries at making wallpapers.
They have all a theme according to one of the for seasons.

Additionally, they are designed to go in pairs (spring/autumn and summer/winter) on my dual monitor set-up.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Ciao,

One thing to do is check your spelling the plural of leaf is leaves not leafs

They're not.. bad...My suggestions, make the summer one, more summery. A moon doesn't really equate to a nice green summer day. The Autumn one, her hair is terrible. Try and clean it up, extraction issues and whatnot. The spring one: the picture's nice, but the text on the fairy..thing, needs to go. Also the text fades too much, can't read the bottom.

And ya, check spelling, and one wp per thread. Good job and good luck.

The first one is nice, but gah! Too much text, and it's all capitalized and jagged!

The character in the second one is too small; she looks like she's been sent to the corner. And, again, ugly capitalized oblique serif text. Use less text, and/or make it more visually interesting.

In the third one, the plural of 'leaf' is 'leaves', not 'leafs'. And the edges of the character are too jagged with too many artifacts and need to be cleaned up and softened just a little. The fading text is an interesting touch, but I think it starts out too lost against the background; that steals some of its visual effectiveness.

In the fourth one, the green at the top and bottom is too vivid - bring down its saturation. And the text, the text, there's just too much of it; it ruins the beautiful simplicity of the wallpaper, in my opinion. Nice contrast of pink against green, though.

Hi everyone.

First, thanks for all the feedback.

As those were my first tries with wallpapering I can only concur with nearly everything you all wrote.

The first thing I note when I look at them myself is "too much text". I think I will try to not overdo that with my next wallpapers.
The font and style of the text on the otherhand, I actually do like quite a bit. I like a more simple style with text, but thats maybe a matter of personal taste.

The vividness of the green actually works out quite well on my TFT screen. It is intended do be a bit strongly saturated. But maybe I could tone it down just a notch.

The jaggedness isn't something that bothers me overly in general but I think I will put a bit more attention to that part in the future.

Well, leaves the spelling. http://animeforum.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
When I made the wallpaper, I was quite sure that the plural is not leaves. But hey, as english is not my native tongue, I think I can live with this mistake. I will consult a dictionary next time when in doubt.

Again, thanks for all your feedback.

Cya,
Elfenstein.
