CovingtonTigerFan 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm looking for some good men's basketball desktop wallpapers for my computer. There doesn't seem to be an official one on the www.auburntigers.com website like there is for football, and I really have no idea where to look. I did a google search but didn't come up with much. I apologize if this is a silly question, or it's posted in the wrong place. Any input you guys could give would definitely be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURainman 6 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Somebody... Anybody...? Unfortunately, you'd have to find a DEDICATED fan to make a wallpaper for you. There just aren't that many AU B-ball fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowegl 4 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Yeah..I asked my friend whos good at that kind of stuff if he would make one. He literally just asked me...Why? He's a fair weather fan to say the least though, but he had made an AU football one and even an LSU football one for my friend..and because he likes to hang out at tigerdroppings. If I could make one, I would. Maybe I could at least try to find some pictures then try to let someone put them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't want to invest that kind of time or money, but that's probably about the only way it's going to happen. Thanks anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just hoping I could find some that were already available on a website somewhere. So far, no luck. But thanks for the offer anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeduke 8 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 If you're just looking to play around with a photo editing tool...don't invest in photoshop. Go out and find a program called the Gimp. It was originally a Linux product similar to photoshop, but they have a Windows version now. It is not as powerful as photoshop, but it's free.

Thanks -- that's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for! If you don't mind my asking, what program did you use to put it together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbait04 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I used a combination of Photoshop and Corel Draw. I used to work at a screen print shop and those were the programs we used. Once you get the hang of it, either program is fairly user friendly for easy stuff like this. Honestly the hardest part was finding the pictures. Once I found those it didn't take but about 30 minutes to throw together. I'm about to put one together for baseball. When I finish it, I'll put it in the baseball forum.

Thats about what my friend told me. So I was going to try to find the pictures myself and let him put it together. Good job though. Nice variety on the photos. AU basketball ones can be hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
