Crossfire Wallpapers

LOLsorandom · February 2010

I made this wallpaper recently and was hoping to get some ideas on how it looks.

What I'm looking for is more a rating (1-10) and a reason why and how I can make them look better. I'm testing out whether or not to keep trying or to give up with it.
EDIT: Made it smaller
Larger one is here http://i46.tinypic.com/28iyewx.jpg

nice but i dont think it will stretch right cuz of the rectangular shape sorry XD

Should change the logo'ing, i.e. the CF logo (IMO yellow looks kinda weird?) & the text (too generic). The CF logo and some background images are pixelated, so I suppose you enlarged them? If you did, never enlarge.

I like the general concept though.

Make it bigz0rz, cba to go into PS and make it myself, upload 1400x900 or something lawl.

The thing with this is that the "Crossfire" text looks so unfit here. It's so... average...

Make the font cooler, and make the stretch fit right, the font goes below.

Other then that, it looks awesome.

Too many things going on in the wallpaper, but the most irritating, for lack of a better word, is that the SPOP in the middle right has an artwork that clashes with the rest of the wallpaper. It's kind of dark, and the CF logo is somewhat pixelated. The writing that says "Crossfire" is really out of place, it doesn't seem to belong [you can probably just remove that and replace it with a more hi-res CF logo]. I can't put my finger on it but something about the crop on the soldier's goggles, the one in the middle, seems off. The actual resolution is weird, it should be closer to 1600x1200 or maybe even smaller [something that's 16:10 or 16:9].

Anyhow, as a first-time I'd rate it a 7, which isn't bad but definitely needs some improvement.

Ah yes the Text was something I forgot to fix. I had a really hard time finding text that worked or looked nice so that was just my temp so I could move on and work on other things. I forgot to change it but I seriously don't know any text that would make that look nice. If you have any suggestions for it post it!

The original had that CF logo in the middle already. To me it seemed to fit so I left it there. The soldier also came like that but I actually kinda felt the same when looking at him that there was or felt like there was something off...
And the Resolution problem I will be making them around that general size. It was just a test first try kind of thing wanting to see if anyone liked it.
