Ice Cream Ahead (June 2024 Wallpapers Edition) — Smashing Magazine

There’s an artist in everyone. Some bring their ideas to life with digital tools, others capture the perfect moment with a camera or love to grab pen and paper to create little doodles or pieces of lettering. And even if you think you’re far from being an artist, well, it might just be hidden deep inside of you. So why not explore it?

For more than 13 years already, our monthly wallpapers series has been the perfect opportunity to do just that: to break out of your daily routine and get fully immersed in a creative little project. This month was no exception, of course.

In this post, you’ll find beautiful, unique, and inspiring wallpapers designed by creative folks who took on the challenge. All of them are available in versions with and without a calendar for June 2024 and can be downloaded for free. As a little bonus goodie, we also added a selection of June favorites from our archives that are just too good to be forgotten. Thank you to everyone who shared their designs with us this month! Happy June!

This year, we are going to the Grand Canyon of Colorado to admire the beauty of its landscapes and enjoy its sunsets.” — Designed by Veronica Valenzuela Jimenez from Spain.

This picture comes out of my imagination. It’s like looking with an electronic microscope at a strange green structure.” — Designed by Philippe Brouard from France.
