The waves were abstract. This one is a place.
Seven colourways of the same minimal cityscape — buildings, clouds, sky. Something that looks like somewhere without being anywhere specific.
How This One Came Together
After the Stacked Waves set, I wanted to try something with more structure in it. Waves are organic and fluid — they work because they feel like movement. But I was curious about something more geometric. Something with edges.
The cityscape shape came from thinking about what wallpapers I actually stop and look at on my own phone. The ones that hold my attention tend to have a horizon line and some sense of depth. A skyline gives you that without being complicated. Buildings in silhouette, a few clouds, a gradient sky. Simple enough to not fight with your app icons, interesting enough that you do not get tired of it.
I built one version and then just kept going through the colour palette. Dark was first — it felt right for the site. Then Night, Blue, Teal, Purple, Pink, Red. Seven total. Each one is the same composition, just shifted into a different mood.
Which One to Pick
Dark and Night are the ones I keep coming back to personally. They sit well on a phone screen without drawing too much attention to themselves. The Red is the most dramatic — warm and slightly ominous, which I like. Teal is the cleanest of the bright ones. Purple has two versions that ended up quite different from each other: the bright Purple feels electric, the Night version is quieter and more considered.
