"Skyfall" MI6 OS wallpaper

MrZareba

I finally decided to reveal my version of the wallpaper seen on the laptops belonging to MI6 members in "Skyfall". It is based on a small resolution picture that was available on the website of the design agency responsible for creating it (BLIND ITD) but since then they've taken that down unfortunately. I can only assure you that the colour is 100% screen accurate (because it was based on their picture), the fact that the colour seems different in the movie is because of the video filters. Also the text is saying "Remote Workstation" because that's what they had on their website, but I can change it to whatever you want you saw in the movie.

I decided to not give this one out for free, however the price is 1$ and it will be more a word of appreciation of my work then anything else really. The reason I did that also is to track exactly how many people are interested in this, because basing on that I might create a second wallpaper (something based on Q's displays with the red underground map of London) and later, once I finally know how to use Adobe Flash, I might create a screen saver with the skull saying "not such a clever boy" - but that might take time.

The resolution is 1920x1080, because that's the native resolution of all the computers used in "Skyfall" but I can change it per request. This wallpaper will not look good on a phone by the way - because I feel some of you might ask me if I'm going to create an iPhone version of it -{

My PayPal account is jerzy.zareba@gmail.com, if you want it just send the 1$ (just remember to avoid the fees) and I will send to your e-mail address the full resolution file.

Cheers!

What do you mean? I uploaded two images, a low resolution image of my wallpaper and a screengrab from the movie. Not showing up?

The screengrab is not being displayed in your post. Just shows as a broken link.

That's odd... I will try to re-upload it. It works however on my second browser without loging in so I'm wondering if that's not some sort of cookies problem.

Not seeing either

Link fixed. Please send $1 to my PayPal account ...

I knew someone would have a problem with that. -{ Sir Miles please close the topic, no one seems to be interested in this one unfortunately.

Rainier Wolfcastle

I have no problem - it was meant as a joke. 8-) I thought you had forgotten the "" tags (but they were present) and just wanted to make the picture visible.

I don't care if you charge something for your work (I know that much time is involved in re-creating something accurately) and although I personally wouldn't pay for the wallpaper (but also wouldn't be interested for free), why do you want to have this thread closed so early? Many members will not even have seen it yet.

I'm loathe to close this thread just yet...but if you still want me too then just PM me -{

Commandant

I'm interested!
I think this is very cool.

This reminds me of the bit in OHMSS when Bond wants to resign but Moneypenny stops him and it all works out in the end. Mr Zareba, you should give it a bit of time and see what happens with this. I've seen some of your other work on this site and it's clear you've got a talent. It would be a shame for you to withdraw your latest work so soon. I hope this one works out well for you.

Commandant

Will the wallpaper work with Mac?

It's more about the comments sometimes then anything else. People were saying bad things to me in the past in PM's just because I was charging small amounts of money for some of my designs. And I fear this will happen again since there is already one sarcastic comment in the thread.

You're overreacting. I think you misunderstood the fella's joke. And who cares if people make comments. A dollar is not a lot to compensate time and effort. And If you don't take pride in what you do, no one else will.

Commandant

I can only encourage this kind of initiative...especially for $1

Hey Mr Zareba, take a chill. I've seen some of your other work and it is quality ( can't see this one though ) Just ignore the naysayers, if they overstep the mark then Sir Miles will be all over them like a rash. If any PM's touch the mark with you then fwd them to Sir Miles. I am a step behind you in the graphic design stakes, as I can only work in 2D, I just don't have the artists eye as you do. Even so I know the work that goes into these pieces, the hours of tweaking to get them just right and screen accurate. Don't let this little spat put you off, your talent desrves to be seen and owned, especially, like me, you are not out to make a lot of money. As you say it is a token payment. {[]

That was awesome, thank you! I still don't know why the links are not working, I will try to fix them tomorrow by uploading them to photobucket instead of the image service we have here. Can't really tell what's causing the problem

Outstanding work... period...

Sir Miles

As said above...forward any PM's you get that you aren't happy with...abuse will not be tolerated !
