I’ve been working on a new MacBook desktop design. I wanted to have a customized desktop screen with the look of a home office that I’d see my Grandfather in. But, at the same time, I wanted to add something new to bring it up-to-date….My husband offered the suggestion of adding a New MacBook Pro laptop with a screenshot, and Voila! He worked his magic and here is the outcome…

Here is the work that was involved in building the desktop as you see above.
First, I looked for all the images. The desk, the armoire (I wanted to make the desk and armoire merge together to have it look like a hutch is on top of the desk), the 2 old framed photos, the 2 tiffany lamps, the chair with the blanket, the plant (which was duplicated – to have on each side of the desk), the desk blotter, the ink pen, the ink jar, the grandfather clock, the cat, the vase, the DaVinci Anatomy of Man art, the Last Supper picture, the antique phone, the antique typewriter, the coffee cup with steam, the old map, the old framed map (above grandfather clock), the stack of papers, the stack of books….I could go on and on. Every single item was found on Google Images.
I drove my husband crazy….every time he would get things arranged on the screen, I’d find more items to put into the room. LOL. For those of you who work with PhotoShop, there were 40+ layers involved in making this a beautiful piece of art. It took HOURS for him to get it Just Right.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with the outcome and will probably keep this background for a couple of weeks. Leave a comment and tell me what YOU think about this desktop! Thanks for visiting!!!
