Hello everyone!

I hope you're all doing well, progressing and growing daily.

So today I'd like to share with you a little something I made for Steve, Erin, and all of you. Let's call it October-mas.

I guess Steve just got back from his 23-day trip, so now's the perfect time to share this, I suppose.

I'm sure most of you are familiar with Steve's Truth+Love+Power pyramid. And ever since I wrote my review of PDSP, in the back of my mind I thought that the pyramid symbol ought to leverage depth and color a bit more. But I didn't think I'd be the one to do it.

Until inspiration struck me.

In my free time, I refined and revised a new pyramid graphic that, beyond being a useful visual aid, turns out to work quite well as a desktop wallpaper, as well. And I'm really excited to share it with you today!

Here's a thumbnail of it:

I wrote an article all about it called Personal Growth expressed in Geometry!, and that article links to big versions you can use as desktop wallpapers. (In fact, I made a size that fits a 30" display.)

I hope you all find it useful.

namaste,
Andreas

Thank you, Andreas. This is very sweet of you to offer to us.

I like it a lot. I just made it my wallpaper

Rachelle · 10-15-2010, 04:29 AM

I like it, Andreas!

It's very similar to an idea I had as well

I'm wondering if you might be able to help me express that idea, since I'm not very skilled in Photoshop and such.

Can you PM me? I'll tell you about the idea/details.

p.s. Essentially, it has to do with the assignment of colors to the different principles.
I had come up with the same concept earlier this year in the spring, but assigned slightly different colors to the different principles.

I had started to write a blog post about this back in spring, too, but never finished it.

I'd love it if you, or someone else skilled in Photoshop, could help me create something similar, but with different colors assigned to different principles.

Very cool, Andreas. Thanks for the gift.

Daffy Duck · 10-15-2010, 03:33 PM

That looks very nice. Good job!

roxyruby · 10-15-2010, 04:18 PM

what a good idea! The words may subconsiously effect you and improve you...

Andrew Brunelle · 10-15-2010, 04:23 PM

Neat. I've been looking for some new wallpaper. Too bad I hardly ever see my computer's wallpaper. There's always a web browser filling up the screen.

Andreas · 11-09-2010, 06:27 PM

Thanks for the feedback Daffy, Rachelle, Cacheborn, SatvikBeri, James, Andrew, and Roxy! It means a lot to me.

And I really enjoyed creating it! Is there anything I could do to improve it? (I noticed that the version without text is getting more downloads than the one with text, so perhaps smaller text since it's such a big desktop image?)

And those of you who read Rachelle's blog may be seeing it again soon...

Andreas · 12-19-2010, 05:58 PM

Oh yeah, and I wanted to thank the few people who gave me forum reputation points for this. Does that factor into anything? Can I see other users rep points? Anyway, that was an unexpected and very kind gesture. Thank you

oh I found this rather beautiful thing now and was going to install it right way on my vista laptop. But seems Vista doesn't like .png as wallpaper

won't let me choose it.

Oh well, will put it on my iMac. And then change it into a jpg for silly vista.
