Wallpaper Offseason - Scenic Michigan Stadium
Ok, so another quick wallpaper post before I head back to more baby duty (yes, I know it never really ends). I made this wallpaper in the style of a vintage travel poster. I think it'd be cool to do a whole series of these for our away games (which if I get the chance to, I might try to get them done pre-season) and then compile them into one giant wallpaper set. Anyway, the usual disclaimers, etc. Hope you like it. Go Blue!

Like it
Love it
Want some more of it
Can't get enough of it
Gotta have it.
I love it. very neat. would sell I'm sure.
Need a pointing Hoke, not a clapping Hoke.
That is all.
That is all.
But not knocking ya! Obviously many people like it so you should be happy.
What don't you like? I aim to please. I can make changes to try to accommodate all tastes.
it's not your fault per se but the kerning on that font is terrible. the s and c run into each other and the a just hangs out by itself.
Now those are things I can work on adjusting. I'm sure I can get the keening right by messing around.
*kerning
Like the brown as the large bezzle, or the blotchiness (which is kind of like like a love it or hate it type of thing). It just doesn't flow for me, but i like more "modern" looking things and this is kind of retro-ey so it's just not MY style. But that doesn't mean anything so.
Just not those particular things the rest of it is pretty coold like the whole theme of what it's saying. I also feel loke it's not as exciting of a field shot as it could be. But again, I do like the rest of it all, and what i said is just a matter or friendly opinion.
Thanks for the comments. I'm always looking for ways that I can please more MGoBloggers. Maybe I'll work on a copy of this without the vintage feel. Maybe use the same theme (travel poster), but make it more modern.
Keep in mind though, whther I or anyone else may not like it as mich as you do, it's still YOUR art, so just be happy and proud of it as long as you like it! Cool to see that you can take some constructive criticism though (for lack of a better word). You seem like a great guy!
I do LIKE how you want to make it vintage. I just personally think that it doesn't quite do it here. You were close for sure, but it almost looks too artificial imo. I can't put my hands on as to why, unforunately, so that I can help you out. But again, MY opinion, which doesn't mean jack squat haha.
The best I can say as to why it doesn't do it for me is because the blurred look ( i have no idea what to call it lol) doesn't look vintage to me as much as it could by using something else, and again, i just don't like the brownish bezzle. And MAYBE a better shot of the big house, BUT that could just be because most of it is blurred so it just doesnt look as beautiul. I guess this is my way of doing art, without actually doing art lol. So just tale what I say as a grain of salt please. This is what happens when I get bored.
keep em coming! little more than a month away.
No naked chicks? Or are you going the tasteful route?
Sorry, I'll put down the beer and the mouse....

And it's now my desktop background. Excellent work, thanks!
