# I've been experimenting with this idea

but it didn't quite work out

# I like it more with a border around the tree

but the gradient effect is mostly lost here, mostly

# Yosh! That's good.

# i think
you should have a thinner outline

try black

# hmmm
I dunno about this, maybe lighter gradient colours


oh well, I will start bugging the board again with these once I've found out if it works somehow

# Oh well :p
It's not half bad, but the line across the middle where the colours meet seems to stick out a bit too harshly
(I helped save b3ta! Shada, Tue 15 May 2007, 20:18, archived)
# yeah, I think I need to try it with lighter colours

something like this


meh

Light colours win.

# Nice idea
reduce the blurring to a height of about 5-10 pixels maybe
(I helped save b3ta! Puromycin is still licking windows, Tue 15 May 2007, 20:20, archived)
# there is no blurring
just the gradients and two layers

# Perhaps either lightening the back or the foreground.

# hmm you may be right
thanks

anyway, back to the drawing board
(I helped save b3ta! mediocre ha ha ha, you're reading this, Tue 15 May 2007, 20:26, archived)
# or prehaps have the centre of the gradients offset a bit
(I helped save b3ta! wjh31, Tue 15 May 2007, 20:33, archived)
# yes, that would be wise
but actually, the experiment was to see what would happen if I used no offset

looks a bit gray and blurred

# Woo!
I prefer this one! and I've had a similiar idea with a different subject for a while . . . it's only my lack of talent stopping me

# Give the tree a drop shadow

# Hmmm
see here: b3ta.com/board/7191351
and thanks for the help :)
(I helped save b3ta! mediocre ha ha ha, you're reading this, Tue 15 May 2007, 20:57, archived)
# Yeah
you could experiment making the shadow closer, sharper, and less opaque. I reckon it would pop the tree out more.
