The new background they released the other day is awesome for a computer, but it didnt work very well when put it on the 360, so I made my own. Let me know if you like it.

DISCLAIMER: The pic is not designed to be a background for your computer(although you could). I made it for the Xbox 360 Dashboard. Simply put the pic onto a USB device, then go to Media/ Pictures/ Portable Device/ Apply as Background on your 360.

There is a Fan art thread you could post this in, look in the sticky up the top of the page for useful threads. It will get more views and create less spam :)

I'm used to C and C with artwork, so if you don't mind...

Although your feel is simple and effective, the first impression only lasts but a moment. The BG is too plain. You have a simple black background, broken by a lens flare effect. This would be alrite if the lens flare matched your render's lighting, but it doesn't. The direction the flare is coming from doesn't match the way the light is reflecting off your render. The image could use some re-arranging. Also, the text is too plain. Try adding some type of filter, or add a faded image of some sort, like a 3, to compliment that effect.

To sum things up, good effort. However, your BG is too plain, the lens flare and the light source for your render don't match, and your text is too plain. All of this, however, can be fixed with a few simple tweaks. I want to see how this will look after you clean it up, so make sure you update the topic when you're done.

Thanks for the feedback.

I dont like when your background effects browsing through the OS, especially when the background is very light. Thats why I kept the rest plain and black.

No problem.

Good point. Keeping the BG clean is a biggie for your 360 BG. I hadn't considered that. I still would like to see an updated version, though. :)

The one that was realeased on marketplace for 150 points is really cool. Every time I turn on my 360, I feel comforted that it IS coming...

Ya I wish there was a way for me to designate a different picture to each Blade like the official ones. Right now its the same pic for all 4.
