Re: [ubuntu-art] On the subject of koalas and wallpapers.
I think it all comes down to the final integration of art and photograph. Maybe http://www.desktopography.net/ can help for inspiration? Although it's got some wild pieces with a lot of contrast, you'll also find proof that the contrast can be soft if done right.

Soft focus on the background( so I can use things like liquid rescale) 4. good amount of color. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I would agree on the 'sleeping' part, placid might be good whereas dozing tends to give the wrong impression, in my opinion. But I really like the idea of dreams and/or 'another plane of existance' since it ties in very nicely with the ideas of the cloud, which seems to be *the* new feature of Karmic. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I sorta like it but it would be nicer to make it a little more abstract.
