Fall is finally here! And with it comes a new Designer Desktop wallpaper for October. This one was created by our contributor and talented designer Crystal Chou. I’m not sure all the quotes out there attributed to Karl Lagerfeld ever passed from his lips, but regardless this is a good one.

This installment of Design Milk’s Designer Desktops monthly desktop wallpaper series was inspired by a quote from William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.” It is kind of hard to read in the image above, so here it the quote: “…only in the world I fill up a place, which may be better supplied when I have made it empty.”
This month’s design was created by designer Julie Baumgarten, who says of her design: “Every design, illustration, or painting I do begins with a grid. The design simply takes form in the shapes and proportions I see within the grid. When I read this quote, I envisioned a blank canvas, so it seemed logical that the background would be graph paper.” You should follow her on the Twitter: @juliebelle13.
You might recognize a design or two in Julie’s portfolio because she has helped me with a few of my logo designs along the way. Julie has consulted with me on my designs and always makes sure I’m effectively promoting my brand. And like a good friend, she flat out tells me when something is ugly.
