Can someone make me a desktop pretty please (Pic Inside)

Hey guys,

I've been looking for a good Avril desktop ever since I've got my widescreen monitor (1680x1050) but the ones on ********* are either really old pictures, or look all naff and grainy when they go that high a res.

And I cant find any anywhere else aboive 1280x1024. So figured I'd ask the photoshop experts that is the OcUK forums. I've seen some stunning custom made signatures and desktops been made on this forum, was wondering if someone could do the same for me.

I like really minimal desktops, not a lot going on, ones that look very tidy. But that doesnt mean that I'm not open to your creative genius. I'm just saying I dont like desktops where there is loads on the screen and it just looks messy.

If this picture can be included in it:

And maybe the text:

Avril Lavigne
The Best Damn Thing

Before you laugh

"The Best Damn Thing" is the name of her new album

I was thinking of white, with black text and the picture on the right hand side, mixed in somehow but thats where I dont know what I'm doing

Anyway, any help with this will be much appreciated, thanks in advance

probably a bad picture considering half of her knee is missing as well as the top of her head

Hmm, I was bored. But being a total PS noob here is my attempt, didn't know what to do with the text though and I did a poor job at cutting her out the picture aswell. It's the thought that counts though, right

I couldn't use the image that you gave. But If this is sort of the thing you want I can change any of the layout, font etc..

Some cutting out is painfully obvious around her jaw line. I find my eye is instantly drawn to it like a gigantic wart on someone's nose would

Not going to bother making one, but I found a few here with 1680x1050 versions

Only just looked at my own thread, dear me I have a bad memory

Anyway, cheers for making some guys, better than what I could do

SiriusB, I've seen those before dude, but I hate desktops that are all grainy and you can tell they've been scaled up so those arent really what I'm after, thanks all the same though

I admit the picture I gave wasnt really great, cant find a higher res version of it though

I made a sig out of it though
