Free Phone Background - Doctor Who

Calling all Doctor Who fans! Here is a free phone background with a quote from one of my favorite T.V. shows. This particular quote is from an episode featuring the weeping angels. It is also one of my favorite quotes from Matt Smith's version of the Doctor.

Making this was challenging because of the margins. I wanted to have a door in the picture to connect to the quote. The fonts are several different sizes and the line spacing had to be set manually for it to be set how I desired. Usually, I stick to one font in my designs but this background features two.

The blues are actually TARDIS blues. I looked up Matt Smith's TARDIS to find the exact shades of blue. One of my favorite parts of this piece is the contrast between the blues and the bright white.

As for the texture behind the door, I used several brushes to get this look. I started with a solid navy. Next, I mixed lighter and darker smoke brushes in the background. To top it all off, I used a crumpled paper brush, which was slightly faded. The door itself, is just a gradient with two slightly different navies.

Do you have a favorite quote or episode from a T.V. show? Want it made into a background? Just let me know and I can make you a background! In the mean time, share this with your fellow Whovians!

Free Phone Background - France

Here is a new free phone background! Megan asked for it originally but I'd like to share it with everyone! Hope you like it!

Hopefully it will fit you guy's phone. I was trying to make a larger image and messed up the dimensions for an iPhone 4. You can stretch it out and it works fine though.

Really makes me want to go to Paris again. Going up the Eiffel Tower was an experience that I will never forget. When we were at the very top the tower was even swaying. If I ever get another chance to visit, I want to try going to the top of the Eiffel Tower and not be so scared. I absolutely wouldn't let go of the walls or railing.

Well, feel free to share it with your and comment with ideas for new backgrounds!
