Anyone Know Where This Banner Is From?

Postby Danursia » Wed May 12, 2021 11:36 am

Does anyone know if the image for the No Moisture Required banner is a real-world location? If so, does anyone know where it is?

I recommend putting a link, people are sometimes to lazy to go find it themselves.

I hate to break it to you but it looks like it's computer-generated...

Now that I look more closely, it seems it is. Still looks pretty cool though.

The current banners are cropped from various Shutterstock images, so that's the place to look if you want to find out more about the image. We don't have a record of the precise Shutterstock image it was, so you'd need to find it on there.

Yeah, that does look computer-generated. There are places that look vaguely similar (see badlands), but not quite like that. There are geometric patterns that look too orderly to be the result of natural processes, the color is extremely uniform, even the sky looks a little stylized.

I was curious about that image myself when I first saw it, so did a google image search...

This led to this website called "NationStates".

Useful!
editors like linguistic ambiguity more than most people
