Wallpaper of the Week - Love Color
This is the seventh edition of Wallpaper of the Week here at Design Informer. The wallpaper for this week is entitled Love Color. I designed this wallpaper about 3 months ago for my personal use. I was trying to do something creative with a quote by John Ruskin and decided to make a wallpaper that exhibited a lot of color.

"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.

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.
