[OSGeoLive] #2090: Artwork 12.0

[Cameron Shorter]

Thanks Benoit,

I've copied your image to 
https://www.dropbox.com/home/OSGeoLiveBackground so others can see it.

I like what you have done replacing the basemap. I'd be inclined to make 
the image slightly darker, as I think we need to make sure the icons on 
the desktop can still stand out against the background. We could partly 
achieve this by mirroring the shadow image of tree and giraffes.

Can you please share the source gimp file with Astrid and me.

Astrid, thanks for your suggestions too. The "head of a giraffe" looks 
good (I prefer the head over the blue sea background), but I think the 
shadow version with the tree is better, maybe starting with Benoit's 
version. I also think that the OSM background should be darkened so that 
icons will stand out better against the background.
