The Call Of Koel

“The peak of summer is upon us, and June brings scorching heat to most places in India. Summer season in my state also reminds me of the bird songs, especially the Koel bird. A black bird with a red eye, this bird’s elegant voice rings through the trees on hot summer afternoons. This June, I have created a wallpaper to give life to this experience — the birds singing in scorching heat give us some respite!” — Designed by Anuja from India.

Just Like Daddy

“I love to wear my daddy’s shoes, even though my feet are small. When they are in my daddy’s shoes, I feel 10 feet tall. Some day I’ll grow to fill them, I only hope to be, as fine a man and great a dad, as my daddy is to me.” — Designed by Suman Sil from India.

Designer’s Road Trip

“For me, June means that I have a break from college, and the weekends usually involve road trips with friends. As a graphic design major, I always thought it would be funny to have a license plate that says ‘kerning’, because the letters on the plate split in the middle and leave a gap between them (what kerning is in design terminology). I’m a sucker for graphic design puns, as you can see. So I created a car with that license plate, driving through a winding road on a summer day. In the distance are also cursor-shaped trees which allude to web design. Because I am a student of the subject, I can never really stop thinking about design, even during summer vacation!” — Designed by Katlynn Whitaker from the the United States.
