What makes a good background?

[Guest 87vlt]

what does make a good automotive background? Should you use the entire page or just part of it so the icons don't cover any of it? Or is it better to spread it out and have the picture "balanced"? also do you people think that the colours should contrast to the car on it? I just need ideas cause all of my backgrounds seem the follow the same theme of one small car and not much else .... also should women be posted all over page? to me socially this isn't right but it makes the picture damn interesting to look at .....

dude... where'd u get that pic of your car in your avatar? lol that looks very similar to my old 180

I go for a background colour that is the same as the car, but is like 25% the shade of the car, so if the car was full red, the background would be faded out to white a lot. Also depends on the pic of the car.

What i've noticed that I do subconciously is create a blank space for me to put my icons in, so that it dun cover important bits in the pic...

yes.. the colour of the car should somewhat resemble the colour of the background..
