The Desktop Wallpaper Project by Alex Cornell
November 4, 2009 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: The Desktop Wallpaper Project
I’m so excited for this week’s Desktop Wallpaper Project artist that I’m currently writing this at 4:15 AM my time, that says something, right? The man’s name is Alex Cornell. He’s a design student living in San Francisco and he’s also a blogger over on ISO50 as well. Alex is such a talented guy that it’s kind of gross. You may have seen his work before, he did that awesome Wes Andersen Film Festival project a little while ago… oh yeah, and he’s a singer/songwriter. Like I said, annoying.
For his wallpaper he’s created this really simple and beautiful design with a simple message. I’ve had this as my wallpaper for a while now, it’s really easy to work with, especially if you handle graphics all day long. Simple, elegant, beautiful.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.Wow! This is beautiful! It’s been a great few months for the DWP!
Wow, great wallpaper – one of my favs of the whole project. Thanks a lot, will be using it. :)
Amazing work.
This feature continues to deliver… Thanks Bobby!
I love this – a perfect blend of ISO50, Mark Weaver and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Thanks Alex!
Amazing! I totally love it, immediately made it my background. This has to be one of my top favourites so far.
This is so gorgeous. I am so jealous of Alex Cornell, it’s not funny.
it looks great though i’m thinking it’ll be awesome to have a wallpaper by chris ware. don’t you think? have you tried already?
Totally mint, definitely one of my favorites from the project, epic kudos bro.
just downloaded this puppy. Nice!
I’ve been using it all day today and still can’t get over its greatness.
Best one so far.
I can agree with all the other commentens. This is amazing.
This one its just amazing, I still have the Steven Harrington’s wallpaper, the one with the semi-desert landscape with a nice hippie-ish b&w drawing, but this one goes inmediately to replace it. This one kinda remains me Flash Gordon, I dunno why but it does, maybe thats why I’m loving it so much!
This is pretty nice. Alex has a nice site as well.
I love the Desktop Wallpaper Project, but my 24″ monitor at work has a 16:9 aspect ratio with a resolution of 1920×1080. The 1920×1200 wallpaper size only works if I chop-off a bunch of the image.
Do I have a non-standard screen resolution? Can 1920×1080 be added to the standard download options?
Wow, beautiful.
@Ryan – Yeah, unfortunately you are, or at least as far as KN readers go. I checked my Google Analytics and 1920×1080 browsers make up 0.75% of screen resolutions. Sorry about that!
Really nice work! I’ve been following Alex Cornell’s work for a while now and his stuff is really amazing. Nice post.
