Fresh

Lately there seems to have been an explosion of 3D typography on the web so I thought I would give it a go myself and share it with you. Took a little time out of my day to experiment with type and light and this is what happened.

This little wallpaper was made with a combination of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and a lot of time on the Wacom tablet. The majority of the work took place while trying to make the shadow look natural. Shadows have always been really difficult for me to get right. All in all I think it was a worthy afternoon of exploration and creativity. Enjoy.

We love bikes here in Portland! I’ll admit it though, I’m a fair weather rider. Now that the sun is shining (sporadically) biking is on my mind. I created this wallpaper with a vintage-feel in mind. There is a faint cobble-stone texture in the background which might speak a little more to Europe than Portland, but who’s keeping track?

Grab this wallpaper and you can picture yourself lazily riding through town while you’re actually inside because you’re at work or it is raining :)

There’s nothing like a beautiful sunrise or sunset to inspire great design or evoke a strong emotion.

This wallpaper was created by Stephen, one of our amazing web designers. He wanted to do a textural design incorporating beautiful photography and vibrant colors. Don’t you think this design communicates the fresh, crisp feeling of an early morning or dusk?

At eROI, we’re all about collaboration and information-sharing. We share ideas, tweets, and even the occasional beer. When we see something cool or inspiring, we want to share it with those around us in hopes that it inspires them, too.

In that vein, we want to share some of our fun, Fresh wallpapers with you. Check out this one from Tom, our music-obsessed, fine point Sharpie-hoarding, designer extraordinaire. My guess is that he came up to this while jammin’ to his favorite tunes. Design improvisation at its finest!

Whenever I see him, he’s carrying around his sketchpad and making fun, happy-accident-type doodles. Don’t you wish your doodling could be this fun and festive?

It’s time to add to the collection of fashionable Fresh wallpapers for you to enjoy on your desktop and share with others!

I can hear the birds chirping! I can feel the sun in my eyes and the cool breeze flowing through my hair. The smell of tulips wafts… Oh wait… I’m here in the office. Well, this wallpaper is just that good.

I’ve used some faded tree and cloud elements combined with a water-color-y wash of lemon yellows and sea green for this wallpaper. Hope you enjoy!

This Background was created using a Photoshop brush called “Fresh_Foliage_HighRes001″ from Designfruit . Many graphic designers create there own custom brushes and allow anyone to download, install and use these brushes as long as you follow some basic rule regarding the usage rights that the creator establishes. This artist specifically declares that these brushes aren’t to be used for designing work to be sold on stock photography sites. The idea behind this background I created (using this brush set) was to create an early evening sky with some graphics to frame the composition.

Here are a few more wallpapers! This time they are dedicated to Portland. These started out as an illustration of Big Pink and quickly turned into a cityscape. I hope to keep these evolving. What else should be present? I already got a suggestion to get B-Roy and Oden in there…

Well, in addition to the glowing eROI logo, I have created a new pattern that you can sprawl across your screen. I call it…Crowns Galore. Fairly simple design, but it is just another way to sport that eROI brand! Enjoy, and look for the new Portland wallpapers coming soon!
