Wallpaper Inspiration [Design]
Filed under DesignYour wallpaper is a great source of inspiration, but it is difficult trying to find good quality (high res) wallpapers for your desktop. Here’s a list of my top wallpaper resources.
1. Desktoptopia
One word, fantastic. This program (win/mac) will automatically update your desktop background at a given time interval. I know there are a lot of programs that would do this, however desktoptopia provides you with really good quality designs. Everyone in the office of fav.or.it has started to use it, and now love it. I originally found this program via Veerle’s Blog, and now they have a PC version (beta) I haven’t looked back. Take a look at some of the quality designs below, and these are high res they manage to fill our 24 inch screens with ease.
2. VladStudio
Vladstudio is a great resource for high quality desktop wallpapers. They primarily just focus on illustration but some of their design are beautifully. However there is a downside, you do have to pay if you want the larger, or dualscreen, version of the wallpaper.
Recently I came across a program called Desktoptopia which is fantastic. I originally found it on Veerle’s Blog
3. Smashing Magazine
Smashing Magazine regularly publish articles relating to desktop wallpaper designs, there current article has to be one of the best. They also release monthly wallpaper calendars (May).
4. Flickr Pool
The Flickr Wallpaper pool is a great resource for photos, and other random wallpapers. It takes a bit of work to find ones which are good quality and high enough resolution but it is well worth it.
