Special Fourth of July Wallpapers

July 4, 2013 at 10:09 pm

This mon­th’s Wallpaper Wednesday is a spe­cial Thursday, hol­i­day edi­tion. In cel­e­bra­tion of Independence Day here in the States, I’ve got two wall­pa­pers inspired by red, white, blue, stars, and stripes. They’re not over­ly patri­ot­ic by the time I got fin­ished with them. I real­ly grunged it up with the dis­tressed tex­tures. Happy Fourth!

On the first Wednes­day of every month, I’m going to pull togeth­er some inspi­ra­tions and resources I have around and make some sweet desk­top wall­pa­pers. It’s usu­ally just going to be one or two at a time. They will be all over the place, from type relat­ed to what­ever cool pat­tern I might be dig­ging at the moment. As always, let me know what you like or if there is some­thing you want to see.

It’s Not a Bug. It’s a Feature.

This mon­th’s wall­pa­per is a com­bi­na­tion of two ideas I was kick­ing around. I start­ed work­ing on some pix­e­lat­ed icons when I thought of the bug and this old meme. I was also play­ing around with a dis­tressed, grunge bokeh idea. I liked how the two worked togeth­er — curves ver­sus straight lines and the blocks of can­vas and pixels.

When’s Lunch?

This month I’m get­ting back on track with a pair of relat­ed wall­pa­pers inspired by icons and a font released over on Creative Market. First is the spoons, forks, and knives of When’s Lunch? Then comes water­mel­on, cup­cakes, and ice cream for When’s Dessert? Bright spring/summer col­ors carry the pieces with the icons and tex­ture being more sub­tle addi­tions. I’ve also added a Retina dis­play Macbook Pro size for those of you need­ing 220 DPI density.
