Fan-made wallpapers

I don't know if this is the appropriate place to put this or not, but I've started making some SNC computer wallpapers.  So far only one design worth sharing with others (imo), but more to come when I have time.  They can be found here.

    When you get it all done and put together, post a pic. :-)

    Glad I could help, Dana. I'll reiterate Angie's idea about the photo matting, too. I've seen that done and it's pretty cool. That way, you can always switch out the pic if you get another group pic sometime. Also, don't forget if you get a dark mat or the photo you are using is kind of dark, to invest in a silver (or gold or some color lighter than black) Sharpie. ;-)

    Dana, I've also seen people have the mat of a picture frame signed by the guys, and then you can put a group photo in the frame later. Just my 2 cents. :)

    I really do think I'll do the group photo thing!!! That is so awesome and I can play with the pic! and I can frame it once done!!! awesome!!!

    Jana- I thought about the ticket but thought like you did, it was small. Now the group photo thing- thats a good idea! I just might do that!! That would also help them to remember me and I could touch it up where I don't look so bad!!! Awesome idea- Thank you!!!!

    Honestly, up until the last concert, I just always had my ticket signed. Of course, that works better if you have a big print-it-yourself ticket, but, as I explained to the 12 year old girl standing in line behind me at the Fort Wayne concert, they CAN all sign on a small ticket. I've had them do it. You pretty much can't read anything on the ticket afterward, but . . . I've considered having CD covers signed, but I figure I'm rarely going to look at those, so why? I like having the tickets signed, because then I put them in (cheap) frames and they are fun to just hang up and be able to look at daily. What other "neat things" are you talking about? I had a copy of the latest Quarter Notes signed in Fort Wayne, but that was mostly because I designed the cover of that issue and wanted a signed copy. Have you ever had a photo taken with the guys? That could be a cool thing to have printed and signed at your next show.

    Jana- thanks so much for the helpful advice. How do other chasers get those neat things to have the guys sign them? All of my music is downloaded from itunes onto my ipod so I don't have anything that is "worthy" of any signatures. Any ideas? Not a computer pro or even close so would not have a clue as to where to start?

    Dana - I don't care if you do that, however, you should be aware that Kinko's (or any similar place) might not print anything they think is the copying of a professional photo. So, what I'm saying is you might not want to try to have *anything* printed that utilizes any photos other than fan photos. My experience with various calendar-making sites (for something NOT SNC-related) is that sometimes things get by and other times they reject (and refuse to reproduce) anything they think is a "professional" photo (whether it is or not). Similar to how Wal-mart or CVS or whoever won't let you make copies of your kids' school pics or Olan Mills photos or whatever. Just a word of advice.

    I have a question about the wall paper. Is it possible to save one of the wall paper things to a flash drive and have kinkos print it out on nice photo paper or something? I would like to have something for them to sign in Evansville without paying 25+ dollars. Help?
