Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke weren't really high-profile players, nor was Darius Morris, and all were high-profile players. "We're still looking at 'who is the best fit.' "

Wallpaper Season - Road to March

By jonvalk — February 16th, 2013 at 10:01 PM — 12 comments
Filed under:
  • basketball

  • Michigan
  • wallpaper
  • Wolverines

Working on another wallpaper this coming week, but here's another since the last one people were commenting that they didn't like the "artsy" stylings of the recent ones.  I like how this turned out, but as always, I'm open to constructive criticism to help me provide more of what the MGoCommunity is looking for.

Enjoy!

EDIT: Already nitpicked at my own design.  Corrected the alignment of the "the road to march" text area.  Not sure why I didn't catch that since I'd originally had it right.  Oh well. Carry on.

Mobile version to come!

Thanks, man. I really appreciate that.  I always felt that way with the wallpapers I'd see in football season from MonuMental. I know we don't get graced with his work as often as we'd like, so it's good to know that I can provide something in the interim.  I did put a few hours work into making this past one, so I really love the feedback.

Glad the mobile versions have been working out well for you.  I agree that it's amazingly convenient to not have to pull up a schedule just to find out when the next game is.  It does annoy my wife to no end that I don't have some picture of my family on my phone instead of a basketball team schedule, but, eh, what ya gonna do?

so much once again. I was kind of tired looking at the last one, not because it was a bad design (It was clever and fantasitic in my opinion), but because we lost three of the games in terrible fashion.  This one is great, thanks again, and GO BLUE!

2013 will be the year.

I totally understand this method of thinking.  I had to turn my wallpaper to something different after the Wisky loss, I was so sick of looking at what I associated with crappy games.

Got bored and decided to do another 'Stauskas-Is-Obviously-Canadian'-themed wallpaper for those looking for a laugh in the ol' rotation.  Enjoy.  This one was purely for fun, not my best photoshop work, but fun none-the-less.
