How to Use Emo Wallpaper

How to Use Emo Wallpaper



Add style and edginess to your desktop with emo wallpaper. Whether you want to show devotion to your favorite emo band, show off your style or express an actual emotion, your wallpaper says a lot about you.







Things You'll Need:





Image-editing software







Find Emo Art and Photos




Step
1



Stop by the website of your favorite emo band. Many bands, or their labels, post wallpaper advertising their latest albums or singles. You might even find photos of a band that would look great on your desktop.




Step
2



Use background images found on MySpace or other websites as your wallpaper. These backgrounds are usually created as tile, which is suitable for your desktop or cell phone.




Step
3



Search free wallpaper websites for artwork that you consider emo. Just because the artist didn't label or tag it as emo, doesn't mean you can't use it as such. Sites that group wallpaper by color make it easy to find emo wallpapers--just look under black.




Step
4



Find a simple graphic that can be repeated, or tiled, across your screen. A small cluster of hearts, skulls or paint splashes will also tile nicely.




Step
5



Visit Emo Bucket for images and wallpapers that can be used for a variety of purposes (see Resources below). Emo Bucket has everything from hairstyle photos to emo icons.


Create Your Own Emo Wallpaper




Step
1



Gather images you want to use to create your wallpaper. A good starting point for a beginner is to find existing wallpaper you can customize.




Step
2



Decide whether you want your wallpaper to tile (repeat across the screen) or be stationary. This determines the size you will need to create your graphic.




Step
3



Use an image-editing program to create your wallpaper image. Unless you are creating a simple tiled background, you should start with a blank canvas that fits your screen. Most desktop wallpapers use 1280 x 1024 or 1024 x 768 pixels. Phone wallpaper differs in size, depending on the model.




Step
4



Add your elements to create the emo look you want. Try just putting a couple of graphics in the bottom corner, on a dark background, to create a shirt-style wallpaper.




Step
5



Implement your wallpaper to see how it looks. Remember that you can always adjust the image to account for stretching or warping.
