Is anyone that is good at PS or Illustrator willing to help with a festive Background for Fluther.

Asked by jrpowell (40562points) December 13th, 2009

Andrew said he would change it. Snowflakes are the theme.

This is what we came up with. http://i.imgur.com/Zmv91.png
It needs to work with repeat-x.

Then plan is to do better then what we have. We want the best.

I can help. Do you have the raw snowflake images?

I don’t quite know how to feel just now. No I’m joking, I might work on a better one later.

@johnpowell I was just about to push the change… but if anyone wants to improve it…

Why are GIMP and Inkscape users excluded? Hmmm?
Just kidding. I’m pretty useless at that sort of thing anyway ;D

@gggritso :: no offense intended. I tried for hours and sucked a tiling. I was hoping someone like Dave would step in and amaze us with his brilliance.

@johnpowell None taken, of course. Who is Dave?

Do we have access to the background image and snowflakes?

gggritso's avatar

@jackm To get the current background image just right-click the background in Firefox and click “View Background Image”. The snowflakes are from Google.

PupnTaco. He does amazing illustrations. He did the work for Riser on this site.

@johnpowell Oh, that is so cool!

@gggritso has a repeating image that works—but if there were a way to make the repeating less obvious…

gggritso's avatar

Try this and see if you like it better. I think that’s the best I can do.

andrew's avatar

@gggritso That’s great! Didn’t another one you did have a little fade on the snowflakes at the bottom?

jrpowell's avatar

A little gradient would rock. Great work shitbag:-)

jrpowell's avatar

That looks fantastic.

Do it now Andrew or I will kill my cat.
