Desktop II    |

Feel free to use these images as a desktop pattern for your computer. For this release I have 2 types, one for the widescreen people (1920 x 1200), and the other for normal folk (4:3 ratio). Click on the picture to get the normal sized image, and on the 'wide' tag to get the wider one. I've added version 2 of this resource because I am happy that my new book Creative Code is finally printed. (Well, to tell you the truth, it's because my friend Paul Kim told me that my website was getting kind of stale ... sigh ...). These patterns are not as dramatic as in Desktop I. Like in all movies, the sequel is never as good as the original.       [wide] Cosmos (2003) Excerpt from a laminate pattern for WilsonArt. If you're thinking of redoing your countertops, you can contact WilsonArt and they will print this pattern for you from their custom laminate department. Cosmos is kind of corny, but I think I still like the idea of a starlit sky even though all the light from the earth drowns the sky out too often.   [wide] Digitalia (2003) Excerpt from a laminate pattern for WilsonArt. If you're thinking of redoing your countertops, you can contact WilsonArt and they will print this pattern for you from their custom laminate department. The idea behind the pattern was a sense of a "hummmmmmmmmmmmm."       [wide] PaleFruity (2003) Excerpt from a laminate pattern for WilsonArt. If you're thinking of redoing your countertops, you can contact WilsonArt and they will print this pattern for you from their custom laminate department. I toned this one down to make it usable as a desktop pattern. It kind of looks like an Apple desktop pattern or something. It has a nice kind of polygonal artifact that I like.   [wide] Wordgrain (2003) Excerpt from a laminate pattern for WilsonArt. If you're thinking of redoing your countertops, you can contact WilsonArt and they will print this pattern for you from their custom laminate department. I built this one because I thought to combine a computer graphics wood-grain and some little letters might be funny. It wasn't too funny.   Copyright 2004, John Maeda
