I am programming for the first time...trying to make a game in pygame. I need to know how to design a really good background. All I can do at the moment is draw lines and change the background colour. Please help!! I am making this for my boss and I need it to be really good..

You don't have to draw your background in PyGame. In fact, it's inadvisable to do so.

In my opinion, you should design your background in another program, such as photoshop (or any other graphic program) and import it with your code with this:

some_variable = games.load_image("background.jpg", transparent = False)
my_screen.set_background(some_variable)
