From Denny: Tripping through the database of Smashing Magazine are some real beauties for wallpaper choices. I've been debuting the March ones all afternoon on my home computer. What fun to see these designs on the larger screen!
I also discovered some gifted illustrators, artists and photographers along the way. Those long hours of research are always worth the journey each month for this post. I culled four years of March wallpapers and here are my favorites. Looking for beauty, elegance and wit are my criteria that influence my choices. There are plenty more to choose from if your taste runs to graphic novel, grunge, folk art and tech.
First off is Smashing Magazine's choices for this year of March 2011. Be sure to check out the link for the artist, taking you to their website, blog, deviantart site or even their flickr page.
What do we think of when we reflect upon the month of March? We think of Winter ending, Spring coming in on the cool winds, soaking Spring rains, the trees leafing out and green weeds. There is the fun celebration of St. Patrick's Day. And there is the old adage, "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." These designers took these all as their inspirations.
