“A Comme Amour” Desktop Wallpaper

The idea of this wallpaper comes from the famous music piece musicnoteswallpaper1280x1024“A Comme Amour” .  I like playing it a lot.

The design of this wallpaper:

  • Background style: Black and green is the main color for this wallpaper. I actually tried different color for the background, such as light green, but only the black color makes the music notes stand out, showing very clear effect. The green waves at the bottom are drawn using the pen tool, fill them with gradient. You can try slightly different colors for the gradient. Then change the blend mode to Screen, or Multiply. Play with different blend mode, you will get the different effects.
  • The musical notes: The musical notes are the most important part of this wallpaper. A glossy and cute shap will make the whole wallpaper different. Use ellipse tool draw a base ellipse, then rotated about 45 degrees. Fill it with green(You can pick any color you like, such as pink.). Copy the ellipse by holding down Alt and dragging, then make this ellipse about half size, fill in with similar color you just pick for the big ellipse, but reduce the Saturation about half down . Then use pen tool draw a arc shap path, fill it with very light green (almost white) to give it a bright light spot effect. Now go to Object –> Blend –> Blend Options, choose “Smooth Color”, then click OK. Back to artboard, select all three ellipses, go to Object –> Blend –> Make. You should see the similiar effect like the notes.
