"The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love color the most." -John Ruskin

I found this quote interesting so I decided that it would make for a good wallpaper. I quickly opened up Adobe Photoshop and got to work. I started with some wavy shapes that I colored purple. I decided to duplicate this shape into different layers and I painfully rotated them into place to fill the entire canvas. I also changed the colors on some of the layers. For the text, I decided to use Rockwell as the main font.

I really like the kinetic typography style so I decided to layout the text based on that style. I was pleased with the final result and this wallpaper actually stayed as my desktop wallpaper for over 3 weeks.

Quick Summary #

  • Estimated time: 1.5 hours

Wow, this has got to be my personal favourite of all the wallpapers here. Love the harmonization of colours, but I am particularly impressed with the typographic composition of the logo/quote. Great font choice. A very well designed wallpaper! :)

@Josh:Thanks Josh, I'm really happy that you liked the wallpaper. It took me quite a while to layout the quote, I kept tinkering with it until I thought it looked good. I think I spent the majority of my time on the quote when I was designing this wallpaper.
