Thanks, everybody!  NitroStitch, I just wish the "Stitch with ducklings" picture had turned out a little better! A lot of the values are very similar, so it looks kind of muddled when it's turned black and white. I adjusted what I could, but it still doesn't quite do it justice. Oo, I just love that painting, though! Speaking of things I love... VictoriaP, you said the magic word when you mentioned the Tiki Room! Our entire condo is outfitted in a tropical/tiki theme (including raffia and a string of round bulbs hanging from the dropped ceiling above the counter, and bamboo on the side of the counter itself), and, in addition to whatever Enchanted Tiki Room collectibles we can find, we also had a custom wooden tiki sign made for us by two former Disney artists/Imagineers, Paul Torrigino and Richard Gutierrez. The photos aren't very good (we look kind of like crap, and what you can see of our condo has changed a lot from what's pictured), but you can see us holding our sign here on their website. Our tiki sign is our pride and joy!  I hear you on a lack of room, too; we were all set to look at buying a house and we were really excited about being able to decorate a larger space, but my brother-in-law just backed out on taking our condo, so all the ideas I had for putting up the stuff we simply don't have room for here will have to wait. Kindle zen, thanks! If you make any screensavers, whether they're vintage photos or scenes from Shrek, I'd like to see them -- as you've probably figured out, I love vintage photos/illustrations, and I love animation! |

Our tiki sign is our pride and joy! I still love the Stitch With Ducklings, even if the colors were so similar that it wasn't the optimal design to convert to black and white. I'm still thrilled to have one of my favorite designs for my Kindle. Great custom tiki sign! Awwww, ya'll look pretty cute, even if it's not a favorite picture. Hopefully you'll be able to get bigger space someday soon, and you will have all the room to decorate that you'd like to have. |

Long time, no post! I've been having waaayy too much fun designing custom skins for my Kindle, although I finally received (and reviewed) my seashell skin from www.mytego.com a few days ago. Despite having a skin of my own at last, I'm still spending a lot of time playing around in Photoshop, just to see what might look nice as a skin. I was fortunate enough to come across www.keepdesigning.com, a fantastic resource for designers that includes a slew of awesome vector images. Not only have I turned some of them into Kindle skin designs, but I've also made screensavers -- pretty convenient, considering many of the pictures were black and white to begin with! They tend to be eye-popping almost to the point of being busy, but my "busy" may be your "bold and beautiful," so I hope you like these! If not... well, I'll get back to my vintage Hawaiian and Disney screensavers soon.  Each screensaver file is grayscale and 600x800 in size. If you need help adding (or removing) custom screensavers from your Kindle, this guide tells you everything you need to know. Cleaning up and formatting these pictures took longer than you might think, so I ask that you please don't alter or redistribute them. Thank you, and enjoy!  |

More beautiful work! My heart is still with Disney and thus with those screensavers, but these are gorgeous!

Thanks, NitroStitch! They're definitely a departure from what I usually go for, but I think the patterns from www.keepdesigning.com look pretty cool. A custom skin with a corresponding screensaver would look fantastic! |

Jesspark: Hi. Lovely work on the screensavers. As I'm new here, please forgive my ignorance....
With these screensavers you are sharing....are we supposed to order from you, pay you or do we just right click, save as and transfer to our Kindles?
If I'm supposed to repay you for this, I don't want to just take. Please let me know.
Finally, how do we get that little box with our name...example: "Serenity's Kindle" that I saw in some images of people's Kindle?
Thanks!

Hi, SerenityFL, and welcome to the boards! I make screensavers for fun (although things have been a little busy around here lately and I haven't created any new ones in ages), so no repayment necessary! Just right-click, "Save Image As..." (or your browser's equivalent), and put 'em on your Kindle. I appreciate comments, of course, but you already have that covered! Thanks for the kind words! As for boxes with your name in them, do you mean on the Kindle itself? If so, moxy789 did some lovely "nameplate" screensavers a while back, which you can see here and here; there may be more in some of the other screensaver threads, but those are the ones that I remember. You just download the screensavers, open them in your favorite image editing program (like Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, or GIMP), and add your name to personalize them. You can also create your own image in Photoshop, etc., of course, and put your name anywhere you like! Hope this helps! If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. |

Thank you Jesspark! I am really liking the mean old Queen from Snow White and may use that as a screensaver. Also, thank you very much for linking where to find the nameplates. The ones I saw in the skins forum looked really nice.
Or, I may just get on Photoshop myself and put my name in the crystal ball that the Queen is holding.
Thanks again!

The ones I saw in the skins forum looked really nice. You're very welcome! I've yet to make a nameplate screensaver for myself, but it's definitely on my list of things to do. The ones I've seen have turned out wonderfully, and it's a great way to personalize your Kindle in case it gets lost or something. Or, I may just get on Photoshop myself and put my name in the crystal ball that the Queen is holding.
Thanks again!
If you look at the original art print, you can see that it's actually some kind of potion in a glass goblet -- it doesn't come across as well in black and white, unfortunately! If you'd like to alter the original image to include your name, I just ask that you please not redistribute it. It may be being picky of me, but, as the note below all my screensavers reads, "Cleaning up and formatting these pictures took longer than you might think, so I ask that you please don't alter or redistribute them." Thanks for your understanding! |

Oops! I missed that part about altering. Sorry. Just so you know, I'm not really good on photoshop anyway so I won't alter it. And I definitely would not redistribute it.

@ JessPark: Any chance on cooking up those Wall-E poster images for the DX's 824x1200 resolution?

Aww, sorry, mmoffitt! The original images weren't very large to begin with, if I recall, and they probably wouldn't look too great if I enlarged them to that degree.  I'm probably going to take a break from KindleBoards, anyway; I should spend less time here and more time, you know, reading my Kindle. The poor thing's got to be feeling neglected! |

I LOVE THIS ONE of Milo! Interesting factoid: My *honorary* cousin was the model for Milo.. I am putting this on my K, and showing it to him the next time I see him. Great photos! Thanks for sharing. |

Just bumping this up. Betsy, Ann and Susan got quite a laugh seeing my Tarzan screensaver today. They missed out seeing most of the others though. Jess any chance I could get the link where you found these? I'd like to modify them to DX size. |

Hi! I just found this thread and I think you are great! I'm wondering if you'd be willing to turn these pics into K2 screensavers... they're from the movie Up. I would do it myself, but have no idea how to, hehe. http://www.fanboy.com/2009/07/pixar-up-posters-prints.htmlThere's no rush, if you can do it... if not, that's fine, too... Thanks! =) |
