I just uploaded my submission (:
i made it a while ago, and when i read 'Make a desktop relevant to the arts' i considered that accounted for visual/digital arts as well :S I'll be happy to take it down if 'The Arts' was meant to be something about fire twirling, and still just vote tho ^___^
Good luck to everyone thats entered

I'm guessing you could make a background with Sock Poi from Mal's wording, although that could look less dramatic than LEDs or fire toys

Aye.
But if you did a transition from sock to LED to nonlit fire to lit fire poi, it would be awesome! (presuming you did it right

If we have permission from other people to use their photos as part of our image is that ok?

You would have to alter it a fair bit IMO.
But i would find it acceptable

Well, in my view a desktop background is not just a photo (although other people seem to disagree, judging by the entries).
I assume that LazyAngel is talking about taking a photo and modifying it in order to actually make a desktop background. Not just put a photo up.

yes I am modifying it - quite a lot - only a small portion of the original photo is used - and it's a photo of me (not that you could tell!)
