  1. Nice wallpaper. Definately going on to the Desktop. In fact I'll display it proudly at Digital Domain, but due to my involvement with the project I'll bow out of the competition. Can't wait to see some entries though.

  4. didn't fincher say he would never have "a david fincher film" at the beginning or end his movies? wouldn't you think that's also true for wallpapers?

  7. I guess there are several ways to resize wallpapers. The way I do it is start with a really huge file (mostly 1400 or even 1600 width) and create the layout and all. Then in a next step I readjust the size to whatever smaller size I want to do.

    It's fairly easy with PS. It let's you choose >image size and you just enter whatever width or length you need, then you reframe and crop the rest. Other programs such as GIMP or others should be able to do the same.

    ... but maybe I am not understanding the question correctly?

    :-)

    Hope I answered what you were asking for?!

  8. If you want you can send your design in whatever resolution or size you have made it and I will do all the resizing ... but if you can figure out how to do it yourselves that, of course, would save me a lot of trouble ...!

  9. amazing work fincherfanatic!! it´s already on my desktop.

    unfortunately i also a mess at designing, so you won't see anything coming from me.

    and jeff_b*tches: i also heard that about fincher, but to my surprise ZODIAC has a very clear "a david fincher film" at the beginning, so maybe he changed his mind... who knows right?

  10. Fincher said he'll never have the title "A Film By" David Fincher. Which is slightly different than "A David Fincher Film"... A Film by almost implies he made the thing by himself. A David Fincher film implies (INHO) it's Fincher's vision you're seeing up on the screen.

  11. thanks for that correction, anonymous! The differentiation makes sense to me: "A XY Film" implies that the film is according to the vision of one special director -- and that would make sense for every single film Fincher has put out; even for more commercially compelling works as PANIC ROOM, it does have his signature.

    So, jeff_b*tches, I hope we're all on the same page ... and I don't have to change the wallpaper! :-)
