Desktop Wallpaper Calendar: September 2010
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SmashingMagazine/~3/KthTdGOO1ro/
Desktop wallpapers can serve as an excellent source of inspiration. However, if you use some specific wallpaper for a long period of time, it becomes harder to draw inspiration out of it. That’s why we have decided to supply you with smashing wallpapers over 12 months. And to make them a little bit more distinctive from the usual crowd, we’ve decided to embed calendars for the upcoming month. So if you need to look up some date, isn’t it better to show off a nice wallpaper with a nice calendar instead of launching some default time application?This post features 75 free desktop wallpapers, created by designers across the globe. Both versions with a calendar and without a calendar can be downloaded for free.Please notice:all images can be clicked and lead to the preview of the wallpaper;you can feature your work in our magazine by taking part in our desktop wallpaper calendar series. We are regularly looking for creative designers and artists to be featured on Smashing Magazine. Are you one of them?So what wallpapers have we received for September 2010?[Offtopic: by the way, did you know that we are publishing a Smashing eBook Series?

Desktop Wallpaper Calendar: August 2010
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SmashingMagazine/~3/5MHrCpdW9So/
Desktop wallpapers can serve as an excellent source of inspiration. However, if you use some specific wallpaper for a long period of time, it becomes harder to draw inspiration out of it. That’s why we have decided to supply you with smashing wallpapers over 12 months. And to make them a little bit more distinctive from the usual crowd, we’ve decided to embed calendars for the upcoming month. So if you need to look up some date, isn’t it better to show off a nice wallpaper with a nice calendar instead of launching some default time application?This post features 50 free desktop wallpapers, created by designers across the globe. Both versions with a calendar and without a calendar can be downloaded for free.Please notice:all images can be clicked and lead to the preview of the wallpaper;you can feature your work in our magazine by taking part in our desktop wallpaper calendar series. We are regularly looking for creative designers and artists to be featured on Smashing Magazine. Are you one of them?So what wallpapers have we received for August 2010?[Offtopic: by the way, have you already visited Smashing Magazine's Facebook fan page?

Desktop Wallpaper Calendar: July 2010
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SmashingMagazine/~3/rjMWA4yXL-o/
Desktop wallpapers can serve as an excellent source of inspiration. However, if you use some specific wallpaper for a long period of time, it becomes harder to draw inspiration out of it. That’s why we have decided to supply you with smashing wallpapers over 12 months. And to make them a little bit more distinctive from the usual crowd, we’ve decided to embed calendars for the upcoming month. So if you need to look up some date, isn’t it better to show off a nice wallpaper with a nice calendar instead of launching some default time application?This post features 40 free desktop wallpapers, created by designers across the globe. Both versions with a calendar and without a calendar can be downloaded for free.Please notice:all images can be clicked and lead to the preview of the wallpaper;you can feature your work in our magazine by taking part in our desktop wallpaper calendar series. We are regularly looking for creative designers and artists to be featured on Smashing Magazine. Are you one of them?So what wallpapers have we received for July 2010?[Offtopic: by the way, did you know that there is a Smashing eBook Series?

FIFA Football World Cup 2010 Wallpapers (for Minimalism Lovers)
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SmashingMagazine/~3/2Wsa9ZFQmg4/
The 2010 Football World Cup is coming up in a couple of days and we decided to celebrate this event with an exclusive set of very simple Footbal World Cup wallpapers for minimalism lovers, created by Oliver Twardowski especially for Smashing Magazine and its readers. The World Cup will be held in South Africa, between 11 June and 11 July 2010, and will involve 32 teams competing for the title.The wallpapers are grouped in countries and presented in the alphabetical order. The design is very minimal: the only changing detail of the design is the horizontal line presented on the bottom of the wallpaper. The idea was to keep the design very subtle and simple, making it possible for you to actually use the wallpaper within your work environment. So you should be able to place all desktop icons on the wallpapers without moving things around.Algeria1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Argentina1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Australia1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Brazil1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Cameroon1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Chile1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Denmark1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.England1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.France1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Germany1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Ghana1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Greece1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Honduras1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Italy1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Ivory Coast1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Japan1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Mexico1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Netherlands1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.New Zealand1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Nigeria1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.North Korea1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Paraguay1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Portugal1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Serbia1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Slovakia1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Slovenia1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.South Africa1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.South Korea1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Spain1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Switzerland1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.Uruguay1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.USA1680×1050, 1600×1200, 2560×1440.[Offtopic: By the way, did you know that Smashing Magazine has a mobile version?

With overlays for highlighting the viewable part of the wallpaper when the iPad is turned in horizontal or vertical direction. Designing an iPad wallpaper can be kind of tricky because of the different directions that the iPad can be turned in. That’s why the designer created that template to give him a little assitance of seeing what areas of the 1024×1024px wallpaper are visible when the iPad is turned horizontal or vertical.Download the set for free!The set is released under Creative Commons license. You can use it for all your projects for free and without any restrictions. Please link to this article if you want to spread the word. You may modify the theme as you wish.

Desktop Wallpaper Calendar: June 2010
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SmashingMagazine/~3/HgAdj3Vb770/
Desktop wallpapers can serve as an excellent source of inspiration. However, if you use some specific wallpaper for a long period of time, it becomes harder to draw inspiration out of it. That’s why we have decided to supply you with smashing wallpapers over 12 months. And to make them a little bit more distinctive from the usual crowd, we’ve decided to embed calendars for the upcoming month. So if you need to look up some date, isn’t it better to show off a nice wallpaper with a nice calendar instead of launching some default time application?This post features 60 free desktop wallpapers, created by designers across the globe. Both versions with a calendar and without a calendar can be downloaded for free.Please notice:all images can be clicked and lead to the preview of the wallpaper;you can feature your work in our magazine by taking part in our desktop wallpaper calendar series. We are regularly looking for creative designers and artists to be featured on Smashing Magazine. Are you one of them?So what wallpapers have we received for June 2010?[Offtopic: By the way, did you know that Smashing Magazine has a mobile version?

Desktop Wallpaper Calendar: May 2010
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SmashingMagazine/~3/6FUt0sgrxaE/
Desktop wallpapers can serve as an excellent source of inspiration. However, if you use some specific wallpaper for a long period of time, it becomes harder to draw inspiration out of it. That’s why we have decided to supply you with smashing wallpapers over 12 months. And to make them a little bit more distinctive from the usual crowd, we’ve decided to embed calendars for the upcoming month. So if you need to look up some date, isn’t it better to show off a nice wallpaper with a nice calendar instead of launching some default time application?This post features 40 free desktop wallpapers, created by designers across the globe. Both versions with a calendar and without a calendar can be downloaded for free.Please notice:all images can be clicked and lead to the preview of the wallpaper;you can feature your work in our magazine by taking part in our desktop wallpaper calendar series. We are regularly looking for creative designers and artists to be featured on Smashing Magazine. Are you one of them?So what wallpapers have we received for May 2010?[Offtopic: by the way, did you know that there is a Smashing eBook Series?
