Default Making a background for a vivarium

Hello friends

I was just thinking off making my own background for my viv(as in picture stuck to the glass)

Does anyone have any decent (large) rainforest pics?
Also i no there is a website that will convert small images into large ones ready to print onto A4 but i cannot remember it! Can anyone help with its name or link?

cheers
phil.

Not too sure if this will help but i know the my friend who works on making posters for nightclubs etc takes his finished work to a printing centre, perhaps try the yellow page's for printing centre's near you, also they can print them on a range of different paper's and it doesn't cost too much at all

Hmmm I will have a word with my friend when he calls me tonight and see if he knows of anywhere good to get some images, he's a bit of a tech geek so might know of a website lol

Other then that I can only think of good old google to give you some answers

deviant art is a good site for lots of pictures. mostly drawings and computer designs though, but you might find something there that suits you...

http://www.deviantart.com/#order=9&q=rainforest

any picture can be printed at any size you like but the bigger it gets the lower the quality, no program or website can do much to improve this. you need to start with a good sized image to begin with..

as a last resort just go for a google images search and just tell it to search large images for "rainforest".. http://images.google.com/images?clie...tart=0&imgsz=l

hope that helps!
