Hi everyone,
this is my first post so please correct me if I do anything wrong (I don't like to annoy people)

Firstly, my sincere thanks to those who make the site possible and especially to all of you who are making my media browser look so great... wouldn't be able to do it without you, cheers

I'd like to ask if one of you lovely people could make a "Movies by Genre" backdrop please?
You are the artistic ones so please feel free to design it however you wish but to give you some idea of what I'm after, I was thinking of a montage of images, each image depicting a genre... ie action = guy looking macho holding a gun.... you get the idea

Like I said, that's just so you know what I'm babbling on about. Do whatever you you think best... I'm sure it will look great!

At the risk of pushing my luck ... I'd also like generic backdrops for "Collections" (maybe using a load of boxset images?) and "Music Albums" (something with vinyl/gramophone?)

Many thanks in advance and best wishes to you all x

Hello Obi-Wan, thank you for the suggestion.
They're a bit "mean 'n' moody" or, dare I say it.... "boyish" {sorry for being sexist folks!) for me.
I realised when I read your answer I should've shown you what I have already.

These aren't necessarily my final choices but as you can see they're pretty simple.

Hi all, sorry I haven't stopped by for a while.... busy, busy weekend.

Thanks for the new suggestions Obi-Wan. Yeah, I really like htbackdrops, discovered it not long ago and got some of my other images from there so you're spot-on for the style but couldn't find an image I liked for this specific category.
I'll work my way through the aeonMQ thread, there's a lotta stuff on there, will let you know if I find a little gem x

Hello leepenny, nice to meet you. Thanks for the suggestion but I was looking for one backdrop to cover all the "Movies by Genre". I have images for each genre sorted. x

Hi ProRipp, thanks for taking the time to help me, I really do appreciate it but they're still a little dark for me but clever concept. It's given me a few ideas so thank you very much.

I found this really nice work by xrdan on DeviantArt....

It uses smart objects so you can easily replace each image with your own. I used the ones I found on this site.....
