Wallpaper Wednesday — No. 5

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.

Say it Fat by Timo Titzmann

I men­tioned this font in a post a week or so ago and decid­ed to try and come up with some­thing of a wall­pa­per using it. I played off its heav­i­ness of course and let that carry the piece with just a few extra effects to spice it up.

Stop Staring at my Ascender

This next one is a trade­marked phrase. It’s mine — DIBS!!! I haven’t seen it or heard it any­where else. I’m also going to claim its close cousin, “Stop star­ing at my aster­isk!” A sim­ple Adobe Caslon with a lit­tle manip­u­la­tion and posi­tion­ing and you have some­thing nice. I need­ed some­thing for the back­ground and decid­ed on a ruled notepa­per kind of thing. I was­n’t sure about that at first but I after I used it on the desk­top for a week and came back to it looked alright. What do you think?

I think I might have found my first prod­uct idea for pro­mo­tion­al posters and t‑shirts. Hmm…
