Snitily Carr’s print design department participates in a monthly creative exercise where we all come together for an hour or so in the afternoon to flex our muscles. We take turns playing host and coming up with the activity, and November happened to be my month. I decided to get everyone to join in on one of my favorite creative pastimes, making desktop wallpapers.
Creating a wallpaper is great for passing the time between projects or when you just need to take a small break from someone’s design standards. It gives you a chance to do whatever you want, the only guideline to follow is you monitor’s resolution. Granted it also helps if your icons are still visible as well. I usually have a couple in process wallpapers on my computer for such occasions.
For this creative activity I wanted to keep our wallpapers somewhat work related, so I took Snitily Carr’s nine guiding principals and threw them into a hat, which happened to be a bowl. After drawing our individual guiding principal, we took to our computers and set forth to create. The principal that I pulled out of the hat was:
Integrity
We will demand honesty and integrity in everything we do.
Overall, we had a good time with it, and came up with some interesting wallpapers. Naturally, I took my concept in a sideways, slightly sarcastic direction, and I’m sharing the result here with you, enjoy.
