A creative can pull inspiration from the most mundane setting, yet when settling down to the computer for a productive digital design session, it doesn’t hurt to have some inspiration at the ready.

That’s where these beautiful wallpaper designs come into play, as well as hints how to make one of your own, so a reminder of your creative genius pops up every time you’re prepared to work.

Find Inspiration With A Powerful Contrast Of Type And Photography

This wallpaper features a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. While the text itself is inspiring, the photograph in the background is undoubtedly powerful. The contrast of the central white text with the black and white photo really makes it stand out, and the lens flares add a unique touch and dimensional element. The subtle differences in the typefaces work together to create something special, and even though they’re different, they feel as if they all belong. To make one similar, choose a stunning background image and combine it with a powerful, inspiring quote from your favorite designer.

Set Your Type Apart With Colored Accents

Due to the blurry nature of the background photo, the white type could have easily gotten a bit lost in the mix. The addition of a subtle, dark red background color helps to pull the white type forward, and give it true distinction from the background. It really accentuates the beautiful flow of the letters. The color choice works well with the warmth of the photo, and blends in nicely with the copper tones of the telescope behind the text. To make one for yourself, choose a beautiful photograph, add your favorite quote, and select a color similar to a color in the background to set it apart.
