Making Screens Beautiful. One Wallpaper At A Time

Posted by Intern in R29 Fun on July 21st, 2010

If you are like me, you know the utmost importance of a stylishly, interesting, envy-evoking and conversation starting wallpaper for your computer or mobile device. While Apple and PCs both have done their best to give us decent default options, we, at R29, understand that a wallpaper can do so much more than just look pretty.

That is why we would like to offer you some tasty alternatives. All of which are available in multiple sizes, accommodating smart phones, iPads and desktops.

Organize!*
This background does so much more than just making you look cool. Stay organized and on track by utilizing the boxes on your desktop should help you systematize your folders and desktop items that you need to get done.

Designer Sobriety Mojo
Need a little reminder about the important things in life or a tip on working smarter? These backgrounds are just for you! And if repeated in the company of others, they make you look very smart (which, of course, you are).

Design Monkeyness
These wallpapers are for all the Design Monkeys out there who need a little inspiration throughout the day. They are also for people who like illustrated monkeys and various shades of blue.

Believe
Keeping it sweet and simple, Believe is lovely and inspiring. Truth be told we could all use a little bit more of both.

Be In Charge
These beauts’ let you know you are in charge of you. They also can educate you on sweet wrestling moves and make you sound super cool at WWE events.

In addition to these, I had come across a few websites that have some interesting backgrounds, with many different styles and techniques. Check these bad boys out here, JackRebel, TheFWA, and Smashing Magazine. I also find it useful to search through flickr and compfight, which searches the flickr database as well. Enjoy!

We understand that when it comes to wallpapers, the opportunities for making amazing, thought-provoking and stylish statement are endless. For this reason we will continue to bring you shiny new alternatives to your typical backgrounds. Please stay tuned! And remember friends don’t let friends use defaults!
