Alias Wallpaper

July 6, 2002.... I am a HUGE fan of this show. Yes, the images look like they are sloppily crammed to fit the screen. Season 1 had 22 episodes and I wanted to have at least 1 picture per episode. All video captures I placed in this wallpaper are my favorite scenes, in their respective episodes. Initially, this was supposed to be chronologically arranged with episode 1 starting from the top-most right corner. It's still somewhat in order, but somewhere along the middle I kinda jumbled an episode or two. *hehehe* Starting from the top-most right corner is episode 1, then move to the left and in a counter-clockwise motion, it ends with Vaughn's (Michael Vartan) tragic "death". For those who are thoroughly devastated over it, I apologize for including the vidcap of that scene. But you have to admit, he was pretty stupid in that incident wasn't he?! *LOL* Oh btw, this is my very first time to make a wallpaper. Sorry if it looks crappy.. but I like it.. so who cares?!

July 7, 2002... I made a neater wallpaper!! *Yay!* I think this one is better.... Aside from each episode's video captures, I included the cast's pictures towards the tail end of the filmstrip. I also left a space at the bottom to accommodate some space for the taskbar. Neato!
