I’ve completed a sample of a screensaver created using some of the images submitted to the Bubblemania group. You can download the file from HERE Simply place it on your desktop and double click the icon – I don’t believe it will install, it should just play. (see the end of this journal entry for a list of artists whose work is included in the file)

The image selection was basically a “hit and miss” – nothing was chosen with anything specific in mind other than the image orientation – this batch is landscape orientation.

This production is a very small size since the software used to produce it is a trial version AND this version is to allow the contributing artists to have a look before I finalize it – there are also “nag” screens all over the place. I’ve ordered a business license for the software, so I’ll recreate it in a larger size without the baloney once I receive the license.

The software will also produce an executable file containing the same screensaver as a SLIDESHOW which you might find useful as a promotional tool. Both the screensaver and stand-alone slideshow can be burned to CDs and given away to promote your work and sales at RB. These are not mean to be hosted on a website (though you can upload the file and urge people to download it from your site).

Centered at the bottom of each image RB “Buy this at Redbubble” logo and a clickable link to RB, but the small version has cut most of it off.

To exit the screensaver or slideshow file, simply hit any key on the keyboard – unlike using mouse movement I’ve elected the key option because I want people to be able to use the mouse to click on the RB jump link.

When you exit the slideshow/screensaver there is a page listing the contributing artsts and a blurb urging people to visit their profiles on RB.

I think I may also include some license terms in this page before I finalize it – ie: people may give away this screensaver or slideshow, may use it for their own promotion or advertising; may NOT sell it or package it within any other software; may not export images from the file or screen capture any image contained within the file, etc. (By the way – the file settings are locked so that complete images may not be exported.)

NOW, before the finalization of the file, is the time to suggest any changes or anything specific you’d like to see included in the licensing terms.
