On Desktop Wallpapers

Desktop wallpapers are fascinating.  They could reflect your interests, personality and style.  You may have your face, dog, family portrait as your wallpaper or your favorite superhero logo at the center of your desktop screen.  At the end of the day, nobody can judge your wallpaper cause you are your computer's boss.  LOL.

I happen to enjoy both minimalistic and graphic intensive wallpapers and these two website that I'm about to share will really give you some sort of design delight.

If you wanna go minimalistic, try SimpleDesktops.com

This website is a collection of wallpapers submitted to the website by anybody who has the guts to submit one.  From the name of their website, they feature minimalistic and simple desktop wallpapers. I actually got 4 wallpapers for each of the desktop screens on my Macbook Pro from the website. This photo below is my favorite.

That wallpaper makes me hungry every time I look at it.  It tells you how much I love Nutella (which happens to be the chocolate spread and the name of my dog).  Here's another wallpaper that I got from the website.

It tells you I love the color green and I grew up with a Game Boy.  LOL I could continue sharing desktop wallpapers that I love but that would just be narcissistic of me and I'm not like that. LOL again.

On a side note:  SimpleDesktops.com has an application at the Mac App Store that will allow you to manage wallpapers.  I have not purchased the application since it's $3.99~170 Pesos.  It's nice to have but if you have time to choose and change your wallpaper then you really don't need it.

The other website where I get more graphic intensive wallpapers (and some simple ones) is Kuvva.com.

They have so many wallpapers by different artists.  It could be a painting, vector art, drawing or a photo.  On their about page they mentioned that they "..want to turn dead space into creative space" which is really true. Check the website out to see what I'm talking about.

On a side note: Though I'm feeling the minimalistic vibe right now, I have the Kuvva Wallpapers app installed on my MBP.  This app automatically changes your wallpaper when the clock hits midnight.   You should go to the website, create an account and choose which wallpapers you would like to appear on your desktop screen otherwise the app will choose randomly.  Check it out on the Mac App Store. It's for free.

Choosing/creating wallpapers is fun.  Everyone should give more thought in selecting/creating a wallpaper to use on their computers.  Don't be a sucker who uses default wallpapers preinstalled on your machine.
