I know, I know... I haven't been posting wallies much lately. Sorry!
Anyhow, maybe that's gonna change now... I've been getting ideas again.

Around December 4th (?), I had been watching/listening to this youtube video I found. (I forget when I found it. but I LOVE it! played it a lot that week) And it gave me the idea for two different versions of a wallpaper. (plus the avvy and sig set you can find in the thread where those go)

I'm not really sure which I like better. The first has more of the song (if not all of it), but the second has more pictures. Both were fun to make, though. :D

version 1

version 2

Hope you like them!

p.s. If you want me to make further versions, let me know. I'm also willing to show you the video that inspired these. So, if you want... pm me! ;)

These are so lovely!!!! The wallpaper is great, though I think I might like the banner better! They're both very good though! I love the use of pictures and the lyrics. They really are awesome! :D

I was once an avid member here, but I had a long absence - I had to re-register! It's strange to be new again after over 1200 posts.

Please -to all of my old friends- say hello! I've missed you! :D

I like the second one the best, I think. :)

The main picture you used in both really fits the mood and lyrics.

A nice pair of wps (or variations of a single wp I suppose) Princess Anna. I agree with everyone that the second version is the "better" (ugh, I dislike using that word, it doesn't have much substance) one. To me, the first version is just so overcrowded with text. It should be more about the imagery with the text being a secondary element (it's a visual medium afterall). The second version is much more asthetically pleasing.

The layout is great. The use of screenshots as a border (really nice work on "boxing" in the main image) is far more interesting to look at compared to blocks of text. I also really like how certain images flow into the main image (i.e. the two bottom images of Ed and the more subtle overlay of the horse in the top left). There's also nice imagery variety to showcase Edmund's "hero" moments. Your choice of text works well with the imagery and with the concept of the piece. I especially like the coloration on the text and how it mirrors that of the ice in the main image. Nice work .

I like the second version better. The first one seems really busy...I don't like having my eyes jumping all over the piece. I would cut down on the amount of lyrics...either that or have one set of lyrics be your "focus" while the others are more "background", if you get my drift. Maybe make them smaller or something to help them recede into the background a bit...

Wow, great job P_A! The first version I found quite funny almost...how Edmund has just this casual sort of stance like, "I'm just an ordinary guy...but a superhero too" and then there's a bunch of great quotes everywhere and a picture of him doing something heroic.

The second one I like more perhaps because there's more things to look at :P ...it gives you a more simple definition of what Edmund is, but it also shows you a lot more of what he's done...and the choice of all the photos for that one were great, they all showed his deeds and heroics actions quite clearly.

Overall, :-bd
