><>|| <> <> = thorwil's backgrounds = A Collection of Backgrounds in various stages of refinement. Most of them are meant to be in line with the briefing provided by Kenneth Wimer. In short: inviting, progressive, balanced, refined, elegant. With a palette of mainly brown tones. Possible sources of inspiration are the features coming with 9.04: the faster boot time, online services, the new notification system.

SVG based on a rough Blender rendering. ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> === Glass === ||{{attachment:glass_tn.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:glass.png|Fullsize]]|| Glass is probably not the best name, but has to do for now :) I took inspiration from a screenshot of the new GDM theme. ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> === Rattan === ||{{attachment:rattan_tn.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:rattan.png|Fullsize]]|| Scan of a rattan stool :) ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> == Concepts == === Laola === ||{{attachment:laola_tn.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:laola.jpg|Fullsize]]|| People working together to make it happen ... Rough concept, although I don't intend to smooth it out all that much, as then the lack of (facial) features will seem odd. ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> === Laola Frontal === ||{{attachment:laola_frontal_tn.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:laola_frontal.jpg|Fullsize]]|| ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> === Tree === ||{{attachment:tree_tn.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:tree.jpg|Fullsize]]|| Rough concept. Starting point was the idea of a "fast" tree. The tree stands for growth and nature. ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> === Butterfly === ||{{attachment:butterfly_tn.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:butterfly.jpg|Fullsize]]|| Currently only a concept sketch. The butterfly is light-weight and fast (boot time). It embodies elegance. Possible problems are ending up with it looking like a moth or too much contrast in the details. ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> * I really liked the idea of this one so I attempted to refine it! :D ||{{attachment:butterfly_refined_tn.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:butterfly_refined.jpg|Fullsize]] || [[LaunchpadHome:dzondlo]] <> === Wood Block === ||{{attachment:wood-block_tn.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:wood-block.jpg|Fullsize]]|| Wood can embody elegance, warmth and a tie to nature. As is, this scan has too many defects, of course. I will see what can be done here later on. ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> === Wood Cut === ||{{attachment:wood-cut_tn.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:wood-cut.jpg|Fullsize]]|| Face side of a piece of wood. The cut resulted in an interesting pattern. ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> === Wooden trivet === ||{{attachment:trivet_tn.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:trivet.jpg|Fullsize]]|| In no way elegant, I see this as possible additional background, for those who like a bit of dirt :) ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> * Definitely these are the best I have seen, in my opinion. I even submitted some myself...and I like yours better. I like the Suede ones and the Laola one and of course the Wooden Trivet which I am currently using. I will probably switch to Laola after a couple of weeks. I like to keep my desktop fresh. Good job!!! -- [[LaunchpadHome:duanedesign]] <> === Fingertip === ||{{attachment:fingertip_tn.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:fingertip.jpg|Fullsize]]|| Scan of a fingertip, reveals a wonderful pattern. Certainly human, but might be seen as freaky. ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> * I like it a lot; I was about to make a similar one but thought it may be too personal or maybe even inappropriate/offensive in other cultures? Anyway, I think is a great idea, but the fullsize picture looks blurry, very out of focus, for this concept to work a very high definition macro picture should be used. My 0.02€ ;) - -- -- [[LaunchpadHome:inigoalonso]] <> <> * inigoalonso: thanks! Regarding the quality, it's the best I can do with my equipment. If I scale it down to my screen resolution, it looks quite sharp, though :) -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> = wakojakoo's Ubuntu perspective image = this is my first background, so plz leave comments! got ideas from other people for the logo and the perspective and the gradient [[attachment:wakojakoo_ubuntu_+peerspective_gradient_1920_1080.jpg|Fullsize]] ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> * I had to rename the file to have the .jpg at the end, as it won't be shown in the browser otherwise ;) Well, there's a rather strong consensus in the ubuntu-artwork community that the logo and Ubuntu label shouldn't take center stage. There's enough branding elsewhere and having this constantly in the background doesn't make us look confident. -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> = Vorcigernix Trivet remixes = Building a better world. I like trivet motive, so I tried to remix them with perspective building photo. === Standard === ||{{attachment:xbuilding.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:building.jpg|Fullsize]]|| === Dark === ||{{attachment:xbuilding2.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:darkbuilding.jpg|Fullsize]]|| === Light === ||{{attachment:xbuilding3.jpg}}|| ||[[attachment:lightbuilding.jpg|Fullsize]]|| ==== Comments ==== ## To Add a Comment, type ## * Your Comment Here - -- [[LaunchpadHome:t-w-]] <> = Your Backgrounds? = <> == Attachment List == <> ---- CategoryArtwork
