@Amanda I used to work a lot on anime wallpapers and submit them on reddit, and based on the feedback I was getting, I have 2 advices I could give you, if you don't mind :P


Try to not make the background completely plain :) Low opacity textures, or even the scanlines you use on your signatures would work like a charm. Soft light sources on the BG look amazing aswell.

If you're going to be making text, it should never be more prominent than the render of the wallpaper, as it keeps catching the eye and doesn't really blend in with the wallpaper (what I mean by this is that whenever the user will look at his desktop, he will subconsciously read only the text and not look at the wallpaper as a whole.


Here are some of the wallpapers I made for reddit:

Suzumiya Haruhi


Mahou Shojo Madoka Magica


Oshino Shinobu


Hachikuji Mayoi


Himeko Inaba


EDIT: I just noticed they were supposed to be tea labels, my bad :S Disregard my 2nd advice then :3

no worries xD

I offered to make the person something entirely new, but they didn't want me to change these hardly at all for some reason.

For the record, I've made a wallpaper more than once in the past.


Unrelated: WiP banner for a guide I'm working on...obviously it needs text, but yea

@Nameless. The Karma banner looks amazing. Love the spacey thingy around her. Just awesome! :D


Could I have you guys' thoughts on this?




I personally dislike the text but I couldn't find a better font or placement..

if you're referring to what I think you're referring to, it's part of the original image

Open it in a new tab so you can read the text clearer. Ugh, I felt a little down today so I wrote this. *welps*

^I prefer the Riven one, for whatever reason; though this one has a nicer composition of smudging.

How do you do that smooth layer over your sig? It looks like blurry and sharp at the same time, like transparent soft silk dropped over the signature :D
