August 31, 200520 yr This is just a rough first try, if this isn't complete crap and I at least get a "hey good first try" I might keep trying to improve the quality.
August 31, 200520 yr Author I'll just throw it out there that I am horrible with computers and technology in general. Silly fads. I dont know how to make things bigger and yea, the text does suck quite bad...I'll work on resizing it and working with the text tomorrow.

For wallpapers, it takes a lot of editing and 'flashy' work. Besides, that pic has nothing to do with baseball. It reminds me of Wyatt Earp (dunno why)
August 31, 200520 yr Can you make a Browns logo fadeout like that with a turd in the background? I'm not kidding either.
August 31, 200520 yr It is a good concept. Try having the train in the background and Dontrelle on the foreground by not having Dontrelle transparent. If you're using Adobe PhotoShop, you can highlight Dontrelle and it'll look nice like that. I'll show you how in a minute. Also, try another font. Try www.fontalicious.com
August 31, 200520 yr I'm running 1680x1050 right now. Dare I try it? (set as wallpaper) 923087[/snapback] *looks at miggy WP* *looks back @ U* *bows head in shame*
August 31, 200520 yr I found a pretty good tutorial on using the "outer glow", which is the outline around a layer. http://www.tutorialman.com/outer_glow_tutorial.html
August 31, 200520 yr Author OK, this is my second attempt. I know it probably sucks too, but here it goes:
August 31, 200520 yr Author Better. Great concept behind it again. Better size choice. What I notice right away is the Marlins logo, you should try and find a larger one, the one you used is stretched and doesn't look right.
August 31, 200520 yr I think you took a smallr image and made it bigger? Or you took a bigger image and made it smaller? The proportions are off, and the photos are a bit blurry. It's better than the first, though.
August 31, 200520 yr To help with the blurriness, try copying and pasting your picture to Irfanview and save it there. It's a free program and it can do pretty much anything. www.irfanview.com
August 31, 200520 yr OK, this is my second attempt. I know it probably sucks too, but here it goes: 923348[/snapback] Better, any competition is good competition.... But one thing... thats like... the title of my Generation wallpaper... lol.... Im not sure if ya knew it or not... lol.. originality owns....
August 31, 200520 yr Author what program are you doing all this in, spike? 923711[/snapback] Microsoft Picture It.
September 1, 200520 yr Author Ok, this is the last Cardinal one I'm doing, for a while anyway...no use doing them for teams I dont like, when I could be doing them of some of my favorite Fish. I would be doing them at all if I was trying to get mod status on their board :shifty But still, overall, I really liked this one and for it's simplicity I think it is very respectable and turned out nice.
