$10 Wallpaper Contest - Poker themed. Multiple winners chosen

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by MortimerJazz, Jun 10, 2008.

  1. #1
    I need some poker themed wallpapers designing. There aren't really any restrictions on what they should look like other than:

    1. They should be clearly poker themed
    2. They should include the URL http://www.theshortstack.co.uk (whether that's just as a watermark or a major part of the design is up to you).

    I'm not entirely sure how many I need (although it will definitely be more than one), so I'm willing to pay $10 via Paypal for every wallpaper that I want to use ... so the chances are that there will be more than one winner in this thread.

    I'll leave this running for a week and will provide regular feedback to all those designs submitted.

    If you have any questions, feel free to give me a shout!

    Thanks alot and I look forward to seeing what you come up with

    Wow - thanks very much for the quick response guys. Really appreciate it.

    Just a bit of feedback so far - I guess I'm looking for something a bit 'subtler' if that makes any sense. Wallpapers that don't just use one big picture. Maybe they have two or three elements that work well together and look clean and sharp.

    I hope that helps ...

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you guys, I've been away for the last couple of days.

    I guess I just like wallpapers that don't totally rely one big picture. Maybe the first wallpaper at http://www.theshortstack.co.uk/wallpaper is a reasonable example. It's kinda simple, doesn't really use any photographs and just contains a simple PS effect.

    I'll try and find more, because there are probably better examples out there ...

    Hi guys - I'm trying to check this every morning and give you some feedback.

    Black Sylver's on the right lines - I guess I'm just looking for something a bit sharper that looks nice and clean on a users desktop.

    I've been trying to find some examples of poker wallpaper that's out there at the moment and I have to be honest it's been harder than I thought it was going to be. Stuff like this is nice though:

    http://www.pokereagles.com/poker-pictures/d/249-2/poker-chips.jpg

    http://www.adobetutorialz.com/content_images/AdobePhotoshop/ART-D/tutorial362/63.jpg

    They're both clean, sharp, uncluttered and wouldn't 'interfere' with your desktop icons if you had that as your Windows background.

    Does that help at all?
