free calendar downloads for April 2009
Nothing creatively iconoclastic about this month’s offerings, just a little desktop motivation to steel you when you droop.
Naeem put me on to the text-path feature in photoshop, and I tried it out for the first time.
Fans of the series LOST will recognise the reference.
These desktop wallpapers have all been created at a screen resolution of 1280X1024.
Drop me a message on saaleha(at)gmail(dot)com if you would like them re-sized to suit your monitor.
Right click on the images and choose “save link as” (firefox and chrome) or “save target as” (internet explorer) to download.
No longer available.

I’m rather fond of a good whodunit and for lack of a better descriptor, I think Christie is charming.
Having read installments of this title via dailylit.com, I wanted to take a bash at designing* a cover for it. I took my cue from protagonist Prudence Crowley’s nickname ‘Tuppence’.

It’s a bumper year-end edition.
I bought the Arabian Geometric Patterns (Pepin Press) source book for Naeem a while back.
It’s stuffed with pupil-dilating sweeties, from eye-glutting intricates to simple, soothing repetitions.
An all-round pretty practical gifting, we’ve both used it on projects (like this month’s wallpapers).
Truth be blogged, I bought it because I wanted it. I’m very [...]

It’s been just over two years and I still haven’t sorted out my photos from the eurotrip with the Munshi’s.
In a ho-hum-let’s-take-a-stab-at-it-then moment, I came across this one of Munshi Snr gazing across a Venetian canal. A quick photoshop filter cheat and here we have a desktop calendar for October: (no longer available.)

There’s a tree outside full of these beautiful harbingers.
I’m not sure if they’re cherry blossoms or the trailer for those really sour little plums we used to have at the house in Azaadville.
Any budding (haha) horticulturists want to take an educated bash at it?
I couldn’t decide on one particular picture and so I thought maybe [...]

You wouldn’t believe how hard it was to find an acceptably level surface in our home in order to make this picture work. It’s still not perfectly balanced, but I’m not anal enough to care.
Aller is my flavour-of-the-month font. It’s clean and is subtle in its playfulness. It’s available for free download from this danish site.

What kind of fan would I be if I didn’t rip the Crows off for this month’s calendar?

A character in the series, John Locke, was a paraplegic. “Was”, because he could walk normally after the crash on the island. The phrase, “Don’t tell me what I can’t do” is recurrent within Locke’s story arch.
