No award beta. Just official threads. Although we should have some kind of cheap award which no one wants. What say? :p

^^ They select a desky and publish it in the mag if I am not wrong. They have a monthly desktop column in the mag, whether they select one from here or no, that's something only Raaabo can answer.

Hmm. I was thinking more on the lines on a Tiger biscuit packet or something but I guess that sounds cooler :D

Not to be rude,
but the contribution to such threads is steadily decreasing
Whats the point of the thread then?
PS: I'm not discouraging any contributors, only highlighting what I've noticed

I am not talking about awards, but at least you should say which desktop looked best? Then what is this thread about ?

Well here goes nothing...

Here you go:

As for the text effect, not sure what I did. Some kind of filter from the filter gallery, and then used a blending mode (Multiply I think). Then brushed over it a bit (just a bit) using one of them bristly brushes. But the effect is mainly cause of the blending mode.
