Smashing Magazine - we smash you with the information that will make your life easier. really.

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 70 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 what wallpapers have we received for June 2009?

[Offtopic: by the way, did you already get your copy of the brand new Smashing Book?]

Predictable Victory (Summer Solstice)

"June is the month that proudly boasts the longest day of the year (it kind of goes downhill from there). The Sun and the Moon fight it out in a seedy bar and, surprisingly, every summer the Sun wins. The Moon does not mind though – he knows he’ll get his revenge in December." Designed by Xenia Latii from Boston, United States.

Dragons

"Dragons! A while ago we stumbled upon an archive of all these amazing, really old illustrations of monsters and mythical beasts.

I also thought that that handmade quality makes the illustrations adapt particularly well to the grunge/distressed look that’s really popular and that i really dig."
