I asked this same question in Photography, but i received no response yet, so i thought maybe i should ask for help in here as well.*

Alright, i've developed a "homebrew" calculator applications for the psp using the C language. I need a good wallpaper and a good selection image, but the problem is that i am only capable of creating less-than-impressive images on my Mac (Using LiveQuartz). I need a wallpaper which looks really icy (480 x 272 - psp screen size) with the text "PlayCalc" on it. Type the text in uppercase, lowercase or both to make it look good, because i have no sense of imaging. Next, i am in need of a small selection image which is a little transparent so that the numbers behind it can be seen just fine. (35 x 20). This image can be either a rectangle or an oval or any other shapes really. An icy look to it would look cool as well. Here is how the calculator would look like.


1 (first num) +(operator) 1(second num) = 2.

So the selection image should be on top of the first num / operator or the second num depending on their selection.

I would be extremely happy if someone can make these images to me. I really would.

Thanks in advance.

er... what does icy mean?

Well, a background that looks blueish + whitish that looks similar to ice.

If that is not possible, a nice background with a transparent selection image would be just as good.

u know what. a picture means a thousand of words.
the best way to express what u want is, do a sketching.
yeah, sketch using pencil colour is enuf. (if u have kurecolour then it wud be better).
then, scan ur sketch, attach it here, so ppl wud really understand what u want.
i may be one of ur helper here in the future. that is shud u accept.

but 1st of all the above are my request. do it sketching like this.
1. wallie with the placement of templates, boxes, words.
2. sample 1 number (preferably big size). numbers templates. insert if operation symbol is included.
3. others that u can think of.
4. final screen sketching.

do pm me if anything else u have in mind or if i didn't reply back in here.

Hmm, that's a good idea mate

The sad thing is that i have no scanner at home, but i'll make an attempt to sketch something, and then i'll post a picture of it in here. (I'll use my camera).

I have one problem though, i really suck at art. lol. Never once got even a B for my art in school lol, but of course, i'll give it a shot.

Thanks mate

Eh, never thought u'll actually show up here. I doubt those artist who frequent here know who u r. Why calculator? Why not new game like Playboy shooter 2 for example?

I'm not any good at art neither but maybe I'll help out.

Btw, the graphic in the playboy shooter doesnt look that bad afterall. Maybe u're better than me?

Well LYNsucks, i'm developing a multi-purpose calculator, not just an ordinary one. It consists of area/perimeter calculator, a normal calculator, volumes, circles, BMI (Working on it) and a few more. It's almost like a complete calculator.

The reason why i'm not working on a new Playboy's Shooter project is because it'll take a lot of time to remove all the bugs, and add more features to it. I want to keep my current project short and fast because school starts in like a week or so.

hehe, the graphics in Playboy's Shooter is oklah

Juz wondering, was playboy's shooter graphics drawn by u? If so, then u're definitely better than me huh.

Well, i just grabbed some backgrounds from some random psp themes, and i added some fonts to it. As for the menu, i just got the icons off the internet, and i placed it the right coordinates. I did not do much work really
