Back in the late 1990s, I ran a popular network of desktop enhancement sites. At that time I designed wallpapers, Winamp skins and ICQ skins on a wide range of themes.
Today I thought I would make some inspirational wallpapers for you guys. :) These wallpapers include inspirational quotes — some by me (basically the ones where I didn’t credit any author name), and some by top people in the world. It took some time to source for images that conveyed the right emotions, pick the right quotes, composite the photos and do the typography, so I hope you like the end product!
I’ve created 15 wallpapers in total, each conveying its own message, so pick the one that resonates with you the most now and set that as your wallpaper. Print it out if you want! Bookmark this page so you can return to switch to different wallpapers.
Alternatively, you can download all the wallpapers and use a wallpaper-cycling software like Background Cycler to automatically change the wallpapers at a set interval. The wallpapers are available in the sizes of 1366×768, 1600×900, and 1920×1080 as they are the most common screen resolutions today. If you use other screen sizes, simply pick the largest version and resize.
If you own a blog/site, you are welcome to put the wallpapers on your site (with credit and linkback to Personal Excellence @ PersonalExcellence.co) and share with your friends and family too! Enjoy everyone! :)
