We all work very hard, many of us spending countless hours staring at our computer screens. So I thought, why not have something pretty and inspirational to stare at? This is a new project we’re going to try out here on Design Milk — Designer Desktops. Starting this month, Design Milk will create a beautiful desktop wallpaper for you to download to your computer and iPhone, inspired by a thought-provoking quote from a renown designer. This is all in good fun, and best of all, they’re free!
This first month, we’re kicking things off with none other than Mr. Charles Eames.

This month’s design was created by our very own talented Eleanor Cleverly. Learn more about her here.

I usually use photography as my desktop background, but I like the idea of design there too, especially since you can add the inspirational angle. Leaves plenty of open space for a cluttered desktop, too.
Recently, we’ve been using touched-up photography too, which adds a certain glow that is hard to capture without the post production part.
