Tiger Desktop Images - Exclusive
While associated with Apple, I came across a number of original artwork files containing the icons and other images used in Apple applications, marketing and more. With the release of Tiger, I felt I should do something special with the icons, considering many of them were made just for the next-generation OS. I ultimately decided to create a series of desktop backgrounds, each highlighting a new or updated feature, in ‘Aqua Blue’ and ‘Aqua Graphite’ varieties.
These aren’t copies, nor are they just enlarged icons. My OS X desktop backgrounds were created using the original, high resolution vector and raster files produced by internal artists and were obtained during and after my association with Apple. And no, the originals are not available for use or distribution to anybody.
Feel free to download any or all of them from my Gallery. Let me know what you think and if you’d like to see any additional renderings.
Here’s a tip: Download them all, and use the Change Picture feature in System Preferences to cycle through them, one by one. Random makes the effect even better!
Another note: These were created using Photoshop 9, included in Adobe Creative Suite 2. I just got my copy and have been exploring. So far, so good. I’ll have a mini-review in the next few days.
Hi, I’m from Spymac.com. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, although I’m sure you have. I love the pictures here of you setting up new iBooks for schools. I would love a job that is from Apple that deals with educational issues. Have fun with it!
i do apologize, i’m sure you get this question weekly, but i couldn’t find the answer anywhere here.. just wondering what app you use to run the itunes currently playing deal on the right-hand side? thanks so much.
I haven´t words, thanks, i admire the apple´s work (apple´s designers).
Incredible. Thanks again

Lovely clean and motivating work, keep it up.
Hey— great job! Where did you find these big icons? I’d love to be able to use them for some other projects. Please let me know via email! Thanks!!!
Hey these desktops are FANTASTIC. Clean and cool, just the way I like them. Very nice work.I am going to recommend them to my listeners on thinkmac.net
Very nice, can we please have one for Documents well.
I will use these with desktop manager or virtue desktop and later Spaces to easily see which desktop I am on.
