How many hours do I spend in front of my lap top daily? More hours than I spend sleeping(totally not healthy). So why not make the layout just a bit more fun?! (Can be healthy..visually.)
Sketch out the basic layout and placements.
Take silly pictures to make the designs.
Put them in place.
I enjoy blue sky, music, and spending hours customizing weird little icons just so my computer doesn't look like any others.
Here's the desktop.
Few folder icons to signify the importance.
Sidenote//Inspiration folder is where I store all the cool graphics/quotes/poems I stumble upon through the web.
That's iTunes, MSN, and iChat.
The Adobe stuff I use and iPhoto. (Since Photoshop and Illustrator work so well together, one's actually high fivin' the other. )
Cyber Duck, an uploading ftp tool, and Firefox.
Dictionary, TextEdit(NotePad), MS Word, MS Excel, and Photo Booth.
The icons actually show up within the programs, too. haha.
