Five Star Wall – Week 1 – January 2012
As someone who moved hemispheres and thus saw a reversal in seasons, it still intrigues me to see winter weather walls at this time of the year. Few of them are as cool as this witner wonderland though. If you’re looking for a cool monochrome wall to adorn your desktop this new year – look no further.
Five Star Wall – Week 2 – December 2011
The Desktopography site can be a bit hit and miss, but it does sometimes manage to showcase some good design work. This wallpaper is by Paweł Dąbrowski (better known as Polaus in customisation circles) and he’s produced a superb abstract wallpaper for this year’s ecologically themed exhibition. You can get it, here.
Five Star Wall – Week 3 – November 2011

Sumptuous photo wallpaper for you this week, courtesy of Danny Tan (you can find his Flickr photostream here – it’s well worth checking out). Anyway – this is a photo of Brighton Pier in South Australia and the clouds look like that because it was shot with a wide-angle lens. You can get the wallpaper, here.
Minimalist Wallpapers – The Autumn Collection
It wasn’t that long ago when a desktop wallpaper meant some grim tile and an 8-bit colour scheme. Over the years as our home computers have grown ever more powerful, so has the quality and size of the displays we use with them. This has lead to an explosion on the wallpaper scene, with some truly amazing images now available for us all to personalise our desktop real estate.
I’m a big fan of minimalist wallpapers, but I think it’s a word that suffers from horrendous abuse on wallpaper sites. 95% of the wallpapers uploaded and tagged as minimalist are about as unadorned as an L.A. pimp’s teeth. But I’ve been looking high and low for perfect simple little minimalist wallpapers over the last few months and I’m now ready to show off the autumn collection – 14 great images to adorn your desktop, but not get in the way of work. Shout out to Hellishere for the cool iMac PSD. On with the show …

This week we’re channelling another era of music listening – the vinyl days.

Anyway – for sophisticated music lovers everywhere, here’s a wall by Tim Bonvallet. You can get it, here.
Five Star Wall – Week 2 – October 2011
Everyone has their own unique preferences for the image they choose to adorn their desktop with – some like amazing landscapes, some prefer minimalistic designs, some think hardcore porn is the way to go. Personally my moods change all the time and in fact I have a different wallpaper on all seven of my Mac’s Mission Control desktops. Anyway – here’s a great design by KINGMANI100, available in a huge range of colours. You can get it, here.
Five Star Wall – Week 1 – October 2011
Not the biggest fan of the folks on DeviantArt who spend their weekends looking for good photos on free stock library sxc.hu and then upload them as wallpapers with their name on them having simply resized them and run a filter or two over them. Irving’s created a neat montage from three stock images though, so I’ll cut him some slack. Dream within a Dream is a sweet monochrome wallpaper, download includes standard, widescreen and iPad resolutions. You can get it, here.
Five Star Wall – Week 4 – September 2011
An amazing bit of graphic design for you this week, courtesy of a Mercedes advertising campagin.

I’ve seen this wall knocking about with the Mercedes logo removed but I always prefer to credit the original artists for their hard work. You can get it and two other versions, here.
Five Star Wall – Week 3 – September 2011
Lots of different resolutions for you, in this week’s wallpaper pack. A Nice View is by Mohamed Daoui and sports a great nightsky design. I reckon the colours on this one are spot-on and work really well on the desktop, whether that’s PC, tablet or phone. You can get it here.
