Desktop Wallpaper Calendar: September 2008

By Smashing Editorial, August 31st, 2008 in Graphics | 173 Comments | Forum

Desktop wallpapers can serve as an excellent source of inspiration. However, if you use some specific wallpaper for a long period of time, it becomes harder to draw inspiration out of it. That’s why we have decided to supply you with smashing wallpapers over 12 months.

And to make them a little bit more distinctive from the usual crowd, we’ve decided to embed calendars for the upcoming month. So if you need to look up some date, isn’t it better to show off a nice wallpaper with a nice calendar instead of launching some default time application?

This post features 30 free desktop wallpapers, created by designers across the globe. Both versions with a calendar and without a calendar can be downloaded for free.

Please notice:

all images can be clicked and lead to the preview of the wallpaper;
you can feature your work in our magazine by taking part in our desktop wallpaper calendar series. We are regularly looking for creative designers and artists to be featured on Smashing Magazine. Are you one of them?

So which wallpapers have we received for September?

Places in London

“All of the wallpapers are with the theme of various places in the city of London. These photos were taken as a part of a project for a friend studying architecture and they turned out so well that I decided to make them as wallpapers. You can also see a few more London Wallpapers which I posted on my blog.” Designed by Kishor Krishnamoorthi from Hyderabad, India / University of Essex, UK.

Hat Fashion

Surrealism Phantasmagorical

“I wanted to put together a surreal dreamlike design born out of a simple image. 2 of my friends are in the main picture taken on a walk around the city one overcast sunday afternoon.

Gentle Temper

The words “gentle” and “temper” beside each other provide an interesting paradox.” Designed by Ee Venn Soh from Malaysia.

Return to work

“For the calendar of this month I have wanted to treat the idea of the farewell of the summer and the return to the work. The aim is to inject adrenaline whom it sees in order that it begins the new labour year with a lot of energy.

Please notice that we respect the ideas and motivation behind artists’ work which is why we’ve given artists full freedom to explore their creativity and express emotions and experience through their works. And this is also why the themes of the wallpapers weren’t anyhow influenced by us, but designed from scratch by the artists themselves.

Thanks to all designers for participation. Hopefully, in September we’ll receive as many entries as in August. Join in next month and smashing September, folks!

I subscribe to the RSS feed for the magazine. While I find many of the articles interesting, it is the monthly collection of wallpapers that keeps me coming back. I tend to go for the ones that are bizarre and/or cartoonish. Thus, for me, “Dangerous Dinner” is this month’s pick!

Thanks to all the artists that give their time to create these wallpapers. They’re always terrific and very much appreciated!

My God! “Slurb”
These entries are beautiful! And so original! I’m loving them! Totally!
I’ve downloaded: “Autumn Moonlight”- thans for that one! It really inspires me!
But I would also like to give my compliments to the following:
“Yosemite Beauty” - Great effect!
“On The 197″ - Very nice mood the drawing gives me! i love it!
“Surrealism Phantasmagorical” - Wonderfull wonderland. I’m sure this one also would inspire my fantasy, if I used it for background.
“Places in London” - very original desktop… I like it!

Thank you all for contributing!

Bert (September 1st, 2008, 12:29 am)

Always looking forward for the next selection of wallpapers.
Too bad there aren’t many widescreen wallpapers. I guess the number of people using a widescreen (e.g. 1440×900) equals the number of people using regular scales.

As these design surely are amazing, I hope there will be more designs for the widescreen users among us ;-)

What a lovely collection… One of my favorites is “Jeans World Maps”.

Thanks Vitaly & Sven for being so nice and patient… and to every body for their kindness about the girl On the 197.

Have a terrific September!

I’m the only one using 1280×1024?
I will love to use this background if they fit mi screen

” Hopefully, in September we’ll receive as many entries as in August. Join in next month and smashing September, folks! ”

Liked the post of SEPTEMBER ;-)

W. Gary Miller (September 1st, 2008, 3:41 am)

Designers please note - the first day of the week is Sunday which means most of your designs are no use to me.

It cool!

h-a-r-v (September 1st, 2008, 4:28 am)

I miss 1450×1024. ‘Guess I have to replace my matrix ;-) Abstraction’s my favourite. “9″ looks classy too.
54.

h-a-r-v (September 1st, 2008, 4:39 am)

BTW: “When type meets texture” - am I wrong or it’s 2009 day order? No matter what time zone, 1st of September should be Monday, not Tuesday.
55.

J (September 1st, 2008, 5:29 am)

sorry, but one of the worst month I ever see here
56.

d (September 1st, 2008, 7:42 am)

h-a-r-v you’re right. 1st September 2008 should be on a Monday.
57.

Not to mention (September 1st, 2008, 7:48 am)

I’m kind of sad that 1280×1024 is supported so rarely :( I’ll take some 1600ers and scale them down …

But all in all, great wallpapers! Thanks!

The Streets of London for both No-Calendar and Calendar for both 1680×1050 and 1900×1200 point to the calendar versions of both. Great work on All of the wallpapers.

Pushkar (September 1st, 2008, 8:56 am)

Thanks for the great wallpapers

Joaquin Barranco (September 1st, 2008, 9:47 am)

The one designed by Greg Ponchak has a mistake. The first of september is monday, not tuesday. I hope he can fix this.

Diamant (September 1st, 2008, 10:39 am)

The London’s places are really beautiful, but my pc has 1440×900 resolution:(

Brian Armstrong (September 1st, 2008, 11:21 am)

I have my Mac os desktop set to change automatically when it wakes up from sleep, which is cool but there are a limited number of them. I always wished I could drop an RSS feed in there or something like that which would continually pick up new backgrounds like this for me.

If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know! brian at startbreakingfree dotcom

Davidko (September 1st, 2008, 11:47 am)

Great collection - unfortunaly there are not very many widescreen wallpaper.
66.

Rik (September 1st, 2008, 12:02 pm)

Thanks for featuring my Phantasmgorical work Smashing Magazine!! You guys do a great job… all designs have their mark which all of these leave :)

Sandie Sørensen Comment - Use it as a background and take it somewhere else… Thanks for the comments :))
67.

h-a-r-v (September 1st, 2008, 3:48 pm)

#60: Emergency! Someone call the author ;-) I just want to correct myself: I miss *1400×1050* of course.
68.

Stila Kiss (September 1st, 2008, 4:40 pm)

i really love all these wallpapers, the only thing that bothers me is some of the calendars. what’s the point of putting them on there when you can’t even tell which day it is?
69.

mel (September 1st, 2008, 5:02 pm)

These all seem to be “windows-centric” which is sad. How about a requirement to post left and right handed versions when you submit. More challenging and inclusive I think.
70.

kaz (September 1st, 2008, 7:02 pm)

Very nice wallpapers!!

Sandie Sørensen (September 1st, 2008, 11:21 pm)

I was just giving you credits! I liked your work, but liked Autumn Moonlight better…
Hope you don’t take offence?
74.

Benjamin (September 2nd, 2008, 12:08 am)

According to Autumn Moonlight, September 1 was a Sunday – wtf? Oh well, maybe it’s a 2002 or 2013 calendar. It’s definitely not for 2008 :-)
75.

Janckos (September 2nd, 2008, 4:09 am)

excelent entry
76.

leoner (September 2nd, 2008, 4:19 am)

Smashing, as usual. It’s good to have source of widescreen wallpapers, monthly. Thanks!
77.

greg (September 2nd, 2008, 7:41 am)

Same problem… lack of 1280×1024….
But great works Thanx!

Tony (September 2nd, 2008, 8:25 am)

Thanks a lot, But why not have a ‘Download All’ feature ?

Please check the dates are on the right days
Example: when type meets texture.

Or maybe just all my calendars are off?

chad (September 2nd, 2008, 10:50 am)

he Autumn Moonlight is wrong too

Found another one!
Return to work lists 31 days for September. There’s only 30 days in September, folks. Nice wallpaper apart from that though.

hmm.. im very sory smashing, i couldnt found which i liked :(

joe (September 3rd, 2008, 2:39 am)

The desktop calendar backgrounds are getting BETTER BY THE MONTH!
89.

Fred (September 3rd, 2008, 6:11 am)

Sweet as always.
90.

Freya (September 3rd, 2008, 6:19 am)

I like most of these wallpapers a lot, but I wish there was more support for 1024×768. Trust me, if I could get a bigger resolution, I would - but not everyone has a fancy 17″ flat screen.
91.

abc (September 3rd, 2008, 9:27 am)

Yes, more 1024×768 support is needed.
and I feel wallpapers with brighter colors and fresh designs should be used as desktop calendars
92.

moonfire (September 3rd, 2008, 2:53 pm)

the first one is the best, but all of them look great!
great job with this monthly calendar thing :)
93.

iris (September 3rd, 2008, 6:19 pm)

wallpapers look great but someone should do something about the mistakes.
94.

Bradley Woods (September 4th, 2008, 5:19 am)

Look forward to this post every month! Keep em’ coming!
95.

Alexandra J (September 4th, 2008, 6:41 am)

Absolutely stunning wallpappers! I’ll be back in october.
96.

Carol Kufeldt (September 4th, 2008, 11:39 am)

Really like “Return to Work”- but designer adds an extra day to September -

“Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November…”

Someone should carefully check the calendars before posting them on the site-
97.

Monique (September 4th, 2008, 1:16 pm)

Great!
I visit this site all month because this wallpappers. I didn’t get the same in sites from Brazil.
Kisses,

Jewel (September 4th, 2008, 5:29 pm)

too bad my choice doesn’t have an option for 1440×900 resolution :(

Robb Clarke (September 5th, 2008, 4:17 pm)

The “When Type Meets Texture” wallpaper has the wrong calendar on it.
No idea what month that’s supposed to be but it’s not September.
101.

Robb Clarke (September 5th, 2008, 4:20 pm)

Dammit.
Everytime I make one my background I find out that the calendar is wrong.

The dates on Forgotten Beigns are wrong too.

The hell?
102.

Donald Shofner (September 5th, 2008, 6:52 pm)

I get psyched every month the calendars are released.
I really like “All you need is feed,” but would have loved to seen him sitting on the potty :)
103.

Miikka Saari (September 6th, 2008, 6:47 am)

Thanks! The images aren’t actually from Finland, just some stockimages. But we do have that type of scenery. It woud have been even more Finland-like if I would have added a lake there.

Rob Centeno (September 6th, 2008, 9:49 am)

Some are good, some are bad, i specially like “Red Green Orange”.

brad (September 6th, 2008, 10:58 am)

I thought the Miscellaneous Days piece was really ugly until I read how it should be used. What an interesting idea!
106.

dion (September 6th, 2008, 11:29 am)

Have chosen Vlad Gherasimov’s “Jeans World Maps” it looks great on my 1440×900 laptop screen resolution. Thanks Vlad!

marvellous wallpapers…….thnx a ton guys
110.

MiSc (September 8th, 2008, 10:59 pm)

@brad: funny thanks ; )
the design however is more focused on what you can do with it and is not so much about being super pretty to look at. Moreover, the coloring is intentionally soft and grey and “backgroundy”, because when it’s in use, all the different colorful icons make their own design on your desktop, don’t they?
111.

Marco Osores AKA Ancavilo (September 11th, 2008, 10:41 am)

I love the idea i already have my wallpaper for the next month i hope u like it, if they chosse it
112.

Khreativ (September 11th, 2008, 10:54 am)

I really do love and look forward to these monthly calendars. they are all really great. “Dangerous Dinner” really caught my fancy, “Autumn Moonlight” speaks to the romantic side of me.
113.

Enon (September 12th, 2008, 5:56 am)

Hi guys!
The WP with a big round moon is fantasic.
The day after tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival in China.
Though the typhoon makes me can’t see the moon,but the moon in the Picture is like the mooncake.Haha^_^

Thank you so much

jason (September 13th, 2008, 5:46 pm)

Some of these are really nice, but would be better if people could actually figure out what day the month begins on!

Eric (September 14th, 2008, 5:37 am)

I am so impressive to see this amazing wallpaper….will look forward every month
118.

10vision (September 21st, 2008, 6:49 am)

Great pictures, but i have a problem with the 1st (London): when i click on “without calendar 1680*1050″, there is the calendar =(
I use rocket dock, that’s why i prefer without calendar for this picture !

bye !
