Wallpaper Mod Please

hey, i was wondering if someone could mod a desktop for me. I will give full credit to the author if i ever post it publically.

Check it out here.

Now, what i would like is to add...something like this:

ssnu4.jpg

I would like the little barcode and tag info below of the shoes (i would like it to be the same length as the shoes) and the little shoutbox thing in the top right corner.

I would like the barcode thing's colour to be the same as the dark brown on the shoe, as well as the background for the shoutbox thing, and i would like the text in the shoutbox thing to be white.

I know it's a bit much but i do not posess the skill nor the ability to do this myself.

I will give credits to you as well for the mod. thx a bunch!

P.S. Make sure the little barcode thing still keeps that gas mask and lose the "tag by bla bla bla", but instead of street - ology, i would like it to say:

Nike [nike check sign here]

Air

ehhh... i'll do it.

what resolution is ur desktop? *sighs*

and i suppose i can't put "tag by alpha2zulu"... ;)

#439822

sure you can. you're doing it, and you deserve the credit. My resolution is 1900 x 1200.

#439864

Just to let you know, I am still working on this. And I'd love to show you a preview of it so far, but PS isn't letting me save this damn thing as a viewable picture format...

EDIT: Ha just kidding there... As you can see, it still needs work. And you weren't lying when you said challenge. This is the largest work I've ever done. PS is using an entire quarter of 2GB of RAM, and the PSD is at 22MB. As you can tell (or hopefully not) I'm doing everything from scratch, excluding the shoes, of course. This does mean the gas mask and AV symbol won't look like the current crap. Lemme know of any changes you would like or an element I haven't created quite to your liking, please.

Some things I was considering: Extending the shoelaces, taking off the "tag" BG (to just leave the whit text), and lemme know what you want inside the part of the tag I left blank. Also, I wasn't sure if you wanted the tag like a price-tag (smaller, attached to the shoes, at an angle).

#440386

wow man, i still can't believe you would do this for me. thank you so much.

As per your recommendations, they are great. I think it is a good idea to make the laces longer, excellent idea. As for the tag, i kinda like the background, so i dont really wanna change it. i was wondering also, do you think you could change all the white things to the light chocolate cream colour on the back of the shoe (if you can). As for the price tag, i would have to see the original wallpaper with and without the price tag (if you can do that :D) it would be great

Yea man i'm sorry about making you work hard like this. You don't have to go through with it, but just again, thank you so much.

alpha2zulu, praaap! :D

#440592

lol i'm not a pro yet, i'm trying to give myself a rep here, then make my own site and take over the world. i'll still work on it for you, although my computer won't like it.

so no, i'm not going to be the stuck-up graphics designer that says "how much?" (at least, not yet ;) )

EDIT: Help me out here, what's the praaap thing about?

#440689

he's giving you "props", "daps" or "praaap" - recognition for the effort your doing on the wallpaper mod - T/F

#440701

lol, i dont know what "daps" means.

"praaap" is an expression often used in hip hop. It means "put it up"...at least where i am lol.

so basically it would come out to "put it up for alpha2zulu" :D

#440720

heh looks pretty cool alpha :)

#440729

whoops, guess they deleted his thread :S

#441142

New preview available. It's nearing completion.

Link

EDIT: As price tag Link

#441591

Wow Alpha, it looks incredible.

I like the Price tag idea :), but not the way you have it now :(

maybe you can do the same concept, but instead of it flying around, maybe you could put it right underneath, like the original, and just make the whole lace - hole idea?

Other than that, it looks maginificent!

I love the way you did tag by Alpha2zulu it looks really cool

excellent work!

#441703

Yeah it's my new favorite font.

:P

#441712

haha is it freeware? 'cause i want it :)

#441714

Yeah, I found it in this thread. It's the top font once you click the link Slewed provided, called Luna Bar.

#441833

AppleThink, I sure hope you still have a use for this. It's taking forever, I know, but you won't believe how busy I've been the past few days. I'm trying to do 6 projects at the same time, and lemme tell you, it ain't working out so well.

#442808

It's alright, i can wait. I just did my reformat, so i gotta get all my emulation stuff up again, but now im running in VM. Anyways thanks for all your help.

#443337

soo...anything new alpha?

#444609

ehh... not really... you're being uber-patient with me, but i still feel like an ass. cant believe this thing is 4 weeks old...

but back to the wall... i'm lost as to what else to put on it. spent, in a word. got any ideas?

like i said, i hope you can still make use of it. but i've seen some other posts around for some other Nike-related material, you must have something cooking. (or cooked :()

#444678

naw naw man, i'm kinda stalled at the moment. i won't say anything big, but yea, i kinda am cooking up something. but i'll still wait for it, all i think you should do is just clear some stuff up, make it look nice and vector-y (like...all sharp and stuff :)) take as long as you like man, it's iight with me.

#444745

ooo well y didn't u just say so? if u like how it is, i'll start tracing it in illustator now. What you haven't seen yet is the revised "Price Tag" version.

Preview :cool:

The regular version, just imagine the above without the string and loophole lol.

So I'm good? I can continue on with the worst part of the project? (I hate illustator)

and i just noticed even the program name is font-stubborn. Illustator=ILLustrator. lol.

#445289

lol, it looks really nice. I've decided to not go along with the shoelace - pricetag idea, sorry. It was an excellent idea, but i've pulled away from it ;). It looks like all you have left to do is clean up around the tag part and the nike air area. I am so greatful that you did this for me :)

#445291

mmkay it's done, but the jpeg doesn't look so hot...

are you able to receive Illustrator files? (argh! ILLustrator)

#445598

hmm what format would that be in?

maybe try it as a PNG? my mac obviously has PNG wallpaper support but i'd like it for my windowsbox as well. so yea, just make it a PNG if you can and i'll take it from there ;)

#445602

I reported this thread to the original artist and he is unhappy.
