Wallpaper Wednesday — No. 21

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. Keep read­ing more »

Yeah, I missed the month of Sep­tem­ber. I’d like to say I made up for it by offer­ing two wall­pa­pers this month, but that didn’t hap­pen either. The one I do have though is a nice reflec­tion on the sea­son of Fall, along with life and death in gen­eral as is often asso­ci­ated with autumn. Enjoy the falling leaves while you con­tem­plate decay and the cycle of life with this fes­tive desk­top back­ground! Keep read­ing more »

I shaved my beard off the other day before spend­ing a week in the woods camp­ing. It’s just too hot to be deal­ing with all that. So with it went most of my hip­pie street cred. So I started think­ing of other sym­bols of the hip­ster look — mous­tache, cas­sette tapes, glasses, and skinny tie — and a desk­top wall­pa­per was born. Keep read­ing more »

This month’s wall­pa­per is inspired by a project I remem­ber doing my first year in col­lege. You made a com­po­si­tion by crop­ping let­ters in squares and see­ing how far you could push a let­ter before it just became unrec­og­niz­able shapes. It was a great intro­duc­tion to leg­i­bil­ity and atten­tion to pos­i­tive vs. neg­a­tive space. Keep read­ing more »
