Design "Contest" thread: Thematic Backgrounds

[Spenner]

Hello fellow designers, or anyone for that matter. I think it may be fun to have a go at this: Once every week and a bit I will state a theme, and those participating will make a background based on the element of the theme. Anyone can join, no experience is necessary. This is simply to explore the creativity that people can conjure from a simple phrase or word. Background, I'll ask, shall be at LEAST 1024x768, but just do whatever size your monitor is I suppose, it is up to you. To start off I'll let the deadline slide a little later depending on how many people join in on this- so I'll start out by asking, who's interested? Once enough people seem to have interest, we can start Also, Upon posting a finished product, state the program(s) it was made in plus the approximate time of completion.

Excellent, I think that's good enough to start with! This time's theme will be: Planet Earth Fairly simple, but let's start off with something pretty straightforward as a first one still, this can be made into something simplistic or very advanced, just depends what you want to do. You may submit more than one if you please-- and any lurkers wishing to participate that haven't stated their interest may do so (as long as it isn't some scribble in MS paint-- good MS paint art is allowed if you can do such a thing ) If you have any, post WIP's too! It's always great to see the progression of a work Let us begin.
