Description Design for a football-wallpaper site...opening some time I guess. I actually made this a couple months ago and wasn't supposed to reveal the design, but I've waited too long. It was definitely inspired by kakkr's stuff, specifically this sick design: [link] . Some stocks from sxc.hu and the sparq ad is just an example. The logo is pretty lame, but it's not intended to be the real one. Looking back the busyness disturbs me but I'm still proud of it. Housh wall by [link]

thanks guys, it should be known that this piece was heavy on "inspiration": [link]

again, made this thing months ago and was pretty much a noob, making it did teach me a lot on composition and such though. so, don't kill me

I do draw inspiration from other artists, but I do my own thing mostly. Sorry ecp-pro and kakkr/osec, I love your dudes' works and don't wanna seem like a total fruit

I think you might benefit from reading: [link]

You took too much from one source without giving back enough of your own to make it your own design.

I'll keep that in mind. This was my fifth design at the time and wasn't done for money. Let's call it "practice"

Hey, I'm kakkr.

I dont mind when someone does something like this since you said it was inspired.

In future to benefit from design and to actually get somewhere originality is the key, try something that no one else has done. My tip is to check out a range of styles, mix them and hopefully you'll come out with something outstanding.

Pretty Cool Layout Man.
I like how it's not all blue, but not all black too.
