100 Phone Wallpapers

This was such a fun and challenging project!
For me, the structure of a weekly challenge really motivated me to keep creating and it was a good way to remember what day it was during the “lockdown” portion of the pandemic. I did not set out with a specific number in mind, but it worked out pretty well that around 100 I was back to my “normal-ish” work and life schedules.

As most of these things go, I started strong and typically uploaded 4 wallpapers per week. I am proud to say I only skipped a few weeks here and there within a 9-month timeframe. But there were definitely weeks where I scrambled to whip something up for my Wednesday deadline.

Here’s about 50 of 100 wallpapers, check out my Instagram stories to see them all!

100 Phone Wallpapers

September 2020-June 2021

During the pandemic, I traded the time I would typically be out-and-about for design practice. I wanted to explore and broaden my design skills. Initially I started saving my practice projects to my computer and moving on. Then, I thought, how cool would it be to put them out in the world and see if they speak to anyone?

One avenue was a weekly batch of 1-4 phone wallpapers every Wednesday posted to my Instagram stories.
