Chapter 46: Background on the backgrounds

So, I thought it would be interesting to provide the story behind how I started making computer backgrounds for Joe. Also, I thought it would be fun to display my masterpiece artwork!

It started Fall of our junior year. Joe allowed me to borrow his laptop so that I could go to Panera Bread and type up my notes for a test. After I finished typing my notes, I decided it would be nice for me to change the background of his laptop. It started out as just a nature scene, waterfall and greenery. However, I determined that including Joe and I to the picture would be the perfect addition.

This is the second background I made once the first background needed a change. I went with a Rapunzel theme.




When I was in Spain, I made this background for Joe. It was inspired by the Spanish castles and our trip to Vienna. Joe's roommates were lucky enough to be included in this one.


This piece really shows a huge improvement in my artwork. I began using photoshop in order to enhance the details of my designs (example: put our heads on different bodies). This was a Christmas gift for Joe this past winter. It was to portray our upcoming trip to the Bahamas.


We posted the newest background in our Chapter 44 post.
