My First Mac Desktop Design

My husband is a wonderful designer. I started messing around with a variety of Mac desktop tools to enhance my own user experience. I’ve seen articles in LifeHacker about a variety of desktops that users have created and I decided to make my own. All from messing around with tools like GeekTool, Docks, Magnifique, Drag Thing, Img2Icns, Rainlendar, Screeni, and SuperDocker. These are all wonderful tools for the noob like me who wants to change their user experience with their Macs. I’ve downloaded icons off the internet and didn’t really care much for some of them for this desktop design so my husband made the post-it note icons for me using .psd and the Img2Icns for my icons. Pretty cool – right?!? I wanted something that you would see in a normal home office. A bulletin board is usually what people see. So I thought it would be cool to make my desktop background a bulletin board – with my husbands help with .psd of course. He’s a genius at this. Anyways, this is the finished look. What do you think? I LOVE IT!
