99 Amazingly Designed iPhone Wallpapers
April 16, 2009 02:02Hey Its been quite a while isn’t I have done a list post. Todays post is going to be featuring some amazing iPhone and iTouch wallpapers. I currently don’t have an iPhone because I can’t afford one, however I do know good design when I see it. All afternoon I have been searching the web for good designs that work on the small canvas that is the iPhones screen space. I have split them up into general categories to make life easier when you are searching through them. If you think I have missed out an amazing design and it should be featured please leave a comment. I have picked ones that show off good artistic talent and not the every day ones you find online. The images have been reduced to save and bandwidth and not make this page half a mile long. Clicking on any of the designs will take you to the website and a full resolution screenshot. If you think I have left one out, please leave a comment. Colour The use of colour in any design is vital. Unless you are looking for a monotone image a dash from the paint palette doesn’t go a miss. These images take the use for basic colours to create a wallpaper that is a piece of art. 1) George Harrision A very simple yet beautiful use of swirling colours to make an great wallpaper. The colours really blend into each other to create a colourful masterpiece.
2) Colour Bricks These I think are coloured bricks, i’m not sure. However the colours do blend well and there is a lot of great texture within the image. 3) Apple News Tree A swade of colour. Looks like a seat to me for some reason. Will brighten up your day.
4) Colour Bands I was unsure if I was to put this in the colour section or the abstract section. Here seems a better place.
5) Colour Grid Although not the highest quality still a really good design.
6) Colourful Lines I really like this one. Seems so bright and vibrant.
7) Colour Triangles People seem to like the coloured triangles, there seems to be a few designs featuring this motif.
8) Pyramid Technology
9) Colour Blend
Abstract Enough of just colour. Lets add some abstraction into the mix. Although you could define a couple of the previous images as abstract, this section takes this motif to the extreme. Full of clashing colours, opposing lines and general coolness this is the abstract section. My personal favourites are in this section. 10) iRoboTrock A really good use of colour and light. The site also featured some really good wallpapers if you want to check them out.
11) RetroLight Some of the best wallpapers are from this small flickr group, the iPhone image above uses a wallpaper from this site.
12) Retro A great use of colour.
13) Techno Angled Manipulating the black and coloured lines technique. A great little wallpaper.
14) Abstract Waves I wish this photo was full resolution so I could use it as my wallpaper. Really cool.
15) Abduzeedo Wallpaper If you are a fan of Abduzeedo (you should be) check out this cool brokeh inspired wallpaper.
16) The Looking Glass A great little mixture of colours. Similar to number 8 although by a different artist.
17) iPhone Retro The first pink wallpaper. One for the girls.
18) Eight Hour Day Another wallpaper found on Abduzeedo, however by a different artist. A great explosion of colour and shapes.
Text Moving on from the funky abstract wallpapers. If you want more of the previous images click on any of the images to find more wallpapers. This section is going to focus on wallpapers which use text. Focusing on text enables some really cool designs. 19) Rhythm A cool blend of colour and text. A create background when you are playing your favourite tunes.
20) Big S
21) AB A create blend of bold type faces and colour.
22) Hello Similar to number 19, the simple mix of colour and type is really well designed.

Another great mixture of type, colour and design.
25) Live What You Love

33) aForestation A really weird name for a really cool image. The 3Dness of the design really stands out.
Photo Moving on from text and abstract photoshop creations we are on to the photographic iPhone wallpaper section. These are photos of every day things at unique angles with great composition. They are designs so you go “WOW” when you see them. Not just a quick snap in an interesting direction. 34) Optimus You have to love Optimus Prime.

48) Space A very iconic space shot of a nebulae. This also works very well as a fullsize desktop wallpaper.

Cartoon Taking a set back from real life, we are going into the funky world of cartoons.
