I used to watch it for the first 7 or so episodes but then stopped. Here are some of my quick jobs that I did for my backgrounds.p0intblank said:

This shot was very grainy and noisy until I did the 'ol pse trix on it. Still needs better color and highlights, but this is really kinda how it looked when I was there that afternoon.
edit:
Shotglass: I honestly got lucky playing with brightness and contrast for that boa picture. I think I hit the darken highlights/ brighten shadows tool. Here is the original...
My latest concoctions in my photoshop brewery... These were for my Electronic Arts class. The first one is a commentary about the increase of surveillance cameras and voyeurism in our daily lives. The second one is just something that is surreal or futuristic. Peach Computers! 
You can see where I get my inspiration from.

Eh...i envy ya'll. I have photoshop and have always wanted to learn how to use it, but I don't know how to do anything on there.

I like it. It looks like what you were going for. I'm not in love with that font though.
I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have 3 iMixes that I created and play regularly. It's my favorite tunes from the 80s, 90s and today. I have created 3 different playlists in iTunes: '80s iMix, '90s iMix, and '00s iMix. If someone has spare time and like to play w/photoshop as a hobby or what-have-you...does anyone mind creating cover art for me with '80s iMix on it, one for '90s iMix and one for '00s iMix.
I was thinking that the backspash (if you will) of the album cover be different things from each decade. example for 80s, maybe incorporate pac-man and a lava lamp or something. and then different icon images for 90s for the '90s iMix and icon images for 00s for the '00s iMix.
i know this is a lot to ask and such. But, I thought someone might want to tackle this as a challenge. It certainly help me gain album art out of the playlists as well.
Thanks for the help in advance.

The updated desktop has a little character to it now, just enough individuality to be more than another grayscale blur... mess with it much more though and you'll be missing the theme!
I'd say it's improvement.
Made this just now using Flaming Pear and PS.
I know its kinda cheating, but I'm doing this on a P.C. since the mac is getting upgraded, and my creativity along with my spelling is going down the drain.

It's looking good, but I would change two things (only for my tastes):
- apply a transparent gradient on the scanlines so they're fading on an angle
- soften up the type (it's a bit too sharp to blend in)
Again, just for my tastes.
It's looking good, though.
THANK YOU! you know, I'm a PS noob, and I always wanted to gradient the scanlines. Now I know how.p0intblank said:It's looking good, but I would change two things (only for my tastes):

No problem.
I just remembered I never told you how to soften type in your PM. I'm not in front of Photoshop right now, but when you have your type selected, look in its options bar (top of the screen) and see if you can change its properties from Sharp to Soft. I'm not sure of the exact wording, but I hope it helps. I'll check it out when I get home later.
I think I know what you meant, I found something to make the font softer. PS calls it "smoothing" the type. I'm having translation problems when people give me PS advice, because I have the German version. It's a problem.
Anyway, here's the next one. Didn't get the gradient done (apparently no quick mask in PSE). Click for fullscreen. Whaddaya think?

Much better! I didn't know PSE does not have the Quick Mask mode. There has to be another way to make a transparent gradient of scanlines. I played around with the layer blending modes, but nothing looked good. Anyone know how to do this without using a mask? I have always done it this way, so I don't know of any other methods.
