[Closed] Edmund, Hope, and Telescopes: A Wallpaper 🙂

Hello everyone! I was listening to Owl City while trying to come up with ways to use all the beautiful new images we have of the trailer... and this wallpaper was the result! I originally made it in widescreen to fit my computer, but cropped/resized it two different ways to be 1024x768. :)

1024 x 768 | 1280 x 800 | 1024 x 768

Anyone may use if they wish.
CC/comments are loved!! :D

Nice blending and colors on the wallpaper! I also love the texture and font. Nicely done! Baby blue is my favorite color, so I really love it!

That is a very beatiful, crisp wallpaper. The colour is lovely! I love the way you have the pic on an angle and with a lovely white border and it's blended so perfectly. Great text and light textures. It's just so simple, yet so perfect. I really love it! :D :) :D (I feel quite inspired actually ;) )!

Very nice Maddy!!! The blue background is very pretty and the white frame that fits around the image looks great! Your blending is superb, and I like that one of the images is B&W and the other color. The text and fonts are beautiful, along with the white glow that seems to come from below the images. Great choice of imagery! This is wonderful! :D

I love the effects you used on this - the way you blended and blurred the photos, along with the baby blue background make a lovely combination. The lyrics you used are very neat, and I love the font! This is an awesome wallpaper! Great job! :D

What a cheerful WP, Maddy! You did a great job on the blending. I like that you chose to use B+W on the first image, it creates a really good contrast with the other. I'm glad to see these getting used. When I looked at the screencaps I thought, "Oh, neither of those is really very good..." Ed's face is way to obscured in the first, and the second isn't really a classy shot. But side-by-side, each more than cancels out the others' short-comings.

The only criticism I have is the blue background is a little bit too bright - it makes the text slightly difficult to read and is distracting.

Great job! *saves*

I like this a lot MissAdventure! :D
I really like how you used the pictures and I really like the color blue you picked for the background. I think it really brings out Edmund's picture, Great job! :D

I love this wallpaper! :) That's such a cool idea to use that line from Tidal Wave with those images. I like the black/white and color contrast between the photos. I actually like the way the edge of the image is cut off in the last one better than the first two.

Thank you all so much for your awesome comments!! :D

DJP, thank you! I love blue too, and in the case of a sea adventure story, I thought it fit pretty well. ;)
HM, aw really? I inspired you? I'm glad you like it!! :D
Pepper Darcy, thanks! I'm glad you like it! :)
lover, thank you!! I'm so pleased you approve! :D
MountainFireFlower, thank for your compliments! I'm so glad that you like it!
Adeona, thank you for your wonderful comment! I was afraid that the text might be unreadable. (I'd meant to mention originally that (apart from the telescope bit, which I'm completely stretching ;)) ) I wasn't sure if the text fit. I didn't know if it was really all that readable and the large word that is readable is "brave," which seems incongruous to the rest of the WP to me. So... :- ) But I'm glad you like it anyway! :D
7chronicles, thank you! I'm glad you like it! :)
Kat, thanks!! I don't know that it was such a creative idea, it was more that that song was stuck in my head while I was trying to figure what to make from all they shiny new VDT pictures. ;))
