Changing Actions Wallpaper by Alex Beltechi

I’ve put together a wallpaper design free for all to download free. It illustrates various environments blended together in inside the 3D text “Actions,” and serves to remind us that it’s time to start Changing our Actions to avoid continued climate and environmental issues our world faces. This download is part of Blog Action Day, which this year is focused on “Climate Change.” Learn more at the jump, and download this wallpaper!

Blog Action Day 2009

This wallpaper design is part of Blog Action Day 2009, a worldwide initiative started by Envato founders Collis and Cyan Ta’eed, now being run by Change.org. Blog Action Day exists to change the conversation on the web for one day by uniting thousands of bloggers around one important issue – this year, Climate Change. It’s not too late to register your blog and participate.

Free Wallpaper from Alex Beltechi

I’ve created an organic wallpaper design for you to download free. It illustrates the text “Changing Actions” by embedding various climate images inside the 3D text. Blending various climate images and related animals inside the word “Actions” shows how we need to start changing our actions now to preserve our environment and avoid continued global climate problems. You can see more of my work in my Behance Portfolio.

Conceptual Development of this Design

Creating this typographic illustration for Blog Action Day has been a very exciting project. The words I use in this illustrations are mere excuses for practice most of the time, so it was a relief to have a well defined topic and to be a part of something so important.

The demand was for a positive and inspiring message, and after some art direction from Sean Hodge, we settled on the words “Changing Actions.” I intended to not only show a rich and diverse natural environment, but also a different kinds of impact that man can have on the world. Instead of destruction and damage, the focus is on preservation and protection.

The way that this concept took form was by placing all the nature elements inside a clean and simple typographic layout. The letters became a haven for several ecosystems, which I blended seamlessly throughout the word “Actions.” After creating the text in Cinema 4D, I scoured the web for nature stock photography and began to slice up the images in place. Throughout the process, I used a pen tablet to modify, recreate, and draw elements in place.

I hope this message finds its way to your desktop, and drives you take action!

  • elephant woman

    Well, thanks for sharing.

    But wouldn’t that make a good tutorial?
    I start to forget why I should still visit this site, when there are no more tutorials, that are free AND useful. I mean this is your choice and your site. I know I can stop visiting, but I can’t imagine that this is what you want and I was actually enjoying this website too. But when you started purchasing money for your good tutorials, the rest of the site really lost its reason to exist.

    Beautiful wallpaper, very clean and clear. Why did you choose the images you did for the inside of ‘Actions’ – they’re brilliant, but I was just wondering?

  • Michael Davis

    Wow this is so amaizing!

  • http://www.gego-bremen.de McH

    Beautiful. I would like to see a tutorial to build up a graphic like these on.

      So extend it? It’s a near white background and this is a bloody photoshop tutorials site lol. Use photoshop. Make a new document that fits your screen resolution. Paste this image into the document. Pick the white colour from the document and use the paint bucket to fill the rest of the canvas. For the texture, grab the clone tool and clone some of the dark patches so that you fill the whole canvas. It’s really not that difficult mate.

      • Simon

        lol, spiderm0nkey your post made me chuckle – too true!

    Sweeeeeeeet. Many thanks.

  • kelly

    I think it’s gorgeous.

    The only thing is that my eyes keep trying to find a reason why the “C” in “changing” isn’t falling down. Doesn’t appear anchored to anything while the rest of the text appears solidly grounded.

  • http://www.aftertheone.com Matthew booth

    Wow… I LOVE how the word “ACTION” starts as 2-D and progressively becomes deeper and more 3-Dimensional. I think global warming is a sham

    However, I am still totally for a cleaner Earth and “greener” ways of living and respecting the planet.

    • http://www.soapboxstudios.ca Brent Nelson

      Totally. :)

    SIMPLY WOW!

    a lot of tuts just repeate some kind of look or use the same technics used for other tuts or are just low level and have a medium result, BUT THIS WALLPAPER: WOW AND WOW! especially “from earth to water to the north pole” and what impresses me pretty much too is the color-balance of every part of hte digital nature. deeply impressed… gratulation

  • wouter

    I think this wallpaper is really amazing, it inspired me to try and do this myself.
    but i can’t even create the 3D hollow letters. i’d really love a tut on this one, might even get me to buy a premium membership!!!
