Desktopograhpy
Every month or so I get bored with my desktop image and set about finding something new. In the past, the images I ended up choosing were often based on impulse and reflected my particular mood at the time. Recently though, I’ve begun searching for images that stand the test of time. This is easier said than done when most free desktop theme sites are plagued with pop-up ads or hidden adware. But from occasionally I come across a hidden gem and desktopography is just that.
The site began in 2005 as a collection of nature themed backgrounds by selected designers, it has since ‘grown organically’ and is now in its third year. Powering the exhhibitions of the last three years is a very slick flash gallery component which not only makes it easy to view the themes but also to download them.
What I find most interesting about this theme collection is the experimentation with design; not only is this a collection of beautiful imagery but many of the images challenge our perception of nature. Below is a thumbnail selection of my favourite themes. So if you’re in need of some new inspiration for your desktop go and download something from desktopography and let us know which one you choose!
