Central Desktop Wallpaper Contest
As you may or may not have seen, a couple of designers have released some Central desktop wallpapers. Even cooler, is that some of them even released their Photoshop sources files so anyone can modify them:
- http://www.ugoletti.com/blog/archives/2004/01/02/central-wallpapers/
- http://www.ericd.net/
- http://www.joshdura.com/archives/000276.php
Anyways, I haven't had a contest since the "Spoof Mike Chambers" contest, so I figured I would hold another one. So, here is the deal, I am holding a contest for the coolest Central related desktop wallpaper. Here are the rules:
- Submission Deadline is Friday, February 13, 2004
- The Macromedia Central team will pick the winner.
- You can enter multiple times
- To enter post links to your wallpaper in the comments of this thread.
- Bonus points for providing your source files for other to modify.

- 800x600
- 1024x768
- 1280x1024
- 1280x854
- 1600x1200
The prizes will be:
- 1st : Xbox gaming console
- 2nd : Macromedia Central super schwag pack

its simple/clean... look close -> subtle distortion from [glass] central ball... bleh.. it gave me a reason to take a break from programming :) kinda went crazy on the resolutions... if your res isn't covered the source is 1600x1200 so you should be able to get your res out of it... desktops: http://www.focusthis.net/Desktops/mm_central_800x600.jpg http://www.focusthis.net/Desktops/mm_central_960x680.jpg http://www.focusthis.net/Desktops/mm_central_1024x768.jpg http://www.focusthis.net/Desktops/mm_central_1152x900.jpg http://www.focusthis.net/Desktops/mm_central_1280x854.jpg http://www.focusthis.net/Desktops/mm_central_1280x960.jpg http://www.focusthis.net/Desktops/mm_central_1280x1024.jpg http://www.focusthis.net/Desktops/mm_central_1400x1050.jpg http://www.focusthis.net/Desktops/mm_central_1600x1200.jpg source: (weighting in at only 1.02megs) http://www.focusthis.net/Desktops/mm_central_source.psd ::brandon

The T-shirt should be the winning prize, the x-box should be the consolation prize. No one wants one of them a) Because it is made by Microsoft b) Because it is a brick c) It has not good games p.s couldn't macromedia central be released for playstation 2? PS2 has flash player installed, that would be cool as it would reach a wider audience. Any way, good luck everyone, if this is still open by this afternoon, then I will enter.

mauragI noted that people were still placing comments on this page during the evening of Friday the 13th... so (assuming the contest ended at midnight), I tossed my other projects aside, put in a video, and played with Photoshop. However, when I came online to post my submissions, I clicked to a related 'mesh' webpage -- which states a 5 pm (PST) contest deadline... Unfortunately, THIS page simply says the deadline ends "13 Feb 2004." If there's any info about a 5 pm deadline posted on this page, I missed it... along with some other folks ;-) I hope that you'll post any "5 pm PST" deadlines more consistently on all relevant web pages in the future. Three Central Contest Wallpaper images, with associated files, are posted at http://www.infotexts.com/central/centralpapers.html The original Photoshop (7.0) files can be downloaded from that page. I enjoyed looking at the other contributions; particularly the "unplugged dragon." --maura g

So when will the winners be announced?

Greg MooreWe are talking about desktop wallpaper for a technology product... Number 5 is far and away the best. Looks like this guy really knows how to convey a concept through design!
