13 Desktop Wallpapers To Kickstart Your Creativity

Bite-size wisdom from Jonathan Adler, Alexis Ohanian, Paula Scher, Tony Fadell, and more.

By

One of the first things people notice about our offices here at Behance are the giant, motivational quotes up on the walls. Ranging from Picasso to Charles Mingus, they serve as a daily reminder of our ethos of making ideas happen.We decided it would be nice to share the love. Below find 13 desktop wallpapers to get you fired up to take action on your ideas. Each nugget of wisdom comes from a past 99U speaker.

(Speaking of, did we mention tickets for our 2013 99U Conference are on sale now?)
