desktop pt. 1

One of my guilty pleasures is creating desktop layouts that I find really gel with my mood and mindset that I'm in. I feel that it creates a certain ambiance to my whole time spent interfacing with this digital medium that allows us to connect with the virtual world. The mentality I've got lately is one of love and fostering an environment of love, and of course I always have to throw in clean lines somewhere so I merged these two concepts:



I just love the mysticism that the tweaked moon projects, that love should be otherworldly yet close enough to us that we can see it and call it our moon. I'm also pleased that I got the idea to arrange the icons into a heart (Mag helped, my heart looked more like a diamond), a pattern I haven't yet done with my icons. I also changed my desktop settings to take on a metallic tone, a real clean finish in gray to complement the moon's colours, but also to address the crisp lines I so enjoy. And of course a beautiful Thoreau quote, as if love is an ailment yet a serum at the same time, that there is never enough love, that it is selfish but the paradox is that it is wholly unselfish because the receiver demands it all and the giver gives it all without thinking anything of it because it is love!

I love love almost as much as I love run-on sentences and poor grammar. =)
