Me and my officemates had another wallpaper challenge today.
What is a wallpaper challenge?
At my workplace, the designers have an event every week called “Wallpaper Challenge”. We – the designers, will be given a theme/topic five minutes before starting to create the wallpaper, five minutes is allotted to think of your concept and gather some resources. One hour is allotted to create the wallpaper, we all start and end at the same time.
This week is our 7th wallpaper challenge, the person assigned to give the topic is a fan of bikes, so the theme is:
Sport Bikes and Nature
It was a tough job just looking for an appropriate photo, I wasted about 15 minutes of my time just for that, I even had a first version with a bicycle, but my officemates told me that sport bikes are the ones with motors so here’s the second and final version.
I didn’t like how it turned out though, but some of them are saying that my work is the one that fits the theme completely. Yes, I intended it to fit the theme.
Don’t be so hard on yourself – you did fine for the time period you given. The wallpaper has a different feel to it, from your other works, but it’s still a good wallpaper.
You sure are right. This wally seem too warm for my style. That may be the cause why I don’t seem to like it.
Yeah I guess.
I also noticed when working while in pressure, it is better to use a black background.
Dunno why but the contrasting colors somehow livens up the whole image and gives off a professional look.
That theory has been tested in 2 wallpaper challenges. My other attempts for bright colored wallpapers always failed.
Looks like you’re getting used to it. Specially for the time pressure.
The wallie is good but it’s kind of dark to me in the bottom side.
