All the available wall space in our little house has been long occupied by prints and paintings. The one space which remains available and easily changed is the desktop screen on my old iMac. Lately, I've been displaying some of my favorite photographs there.
For the purpose, I tend to prefer black & white or a limited color palette along with a strong graphic design.
I
tend to size my photographs for online display to be slightly smaller
than my 21.5-inch screen, but stretching them slightly to fit does not
seem to result in any significant degredation.
I have also drawn on my collection of 3D graphics which I was making years ago . They are all ultra-simple and give me an uncomplicated working space.
Of course there is no shortage of images available on the Web which can be appropriated for the desktop. A source I have been using for a long time is The Biodiversity Heritage Library which has over three hundred thousand images of natural history subjects including a lot of great old drawings.
