Available in Blue and Graphite 1280×1024
When I saw this picture of torn paper at iStockphoto, I thought it’s too good not to turn into desktop background so I bought it right away and masked away the background and put this on gradient background. If you would like different color options and/or screen size, I’m willing to do up to two popular ones as I’m pretty busy lately with several projects.
Right-click and save as:
Be Original Blue – 1280×1024, 1920×1200
Be Original Graphite – 1280×1024, 1920×1200

Hello!
Could you make a 2560 x 1600 px version?
Thanks!
Please, chek you mailbox.
I have loved this one since I first laid eyes on it! Thanks for a great looking desktop.
Cheers!
Hi!
Could you please share psd with us, or if not create one more version with text: be creative?
I think being creative is more important that being original. Sometimes you need to see other people work and imitate them to develop your own style.
I you will find some time, please make one more version! THANKS!

Hi Marcin,
I’d love to post the PSD file for this but I can’t due to iStockphoto’s license. I’ve created Be Creative version in both blue and graphite version:
Be Creative 1920×1200 –

I cannot find the torn paper used on iStockphoto. can you send me a link?
Hi Adam. I love that wallpaper but would it be possible to get the background used without the Be Original torn paper? Thanks!
Weird, I thought I had plain versions up somewhere. Anyway, here’s new URLs for gradient only BG:

Deat Adam,
great work!!! I love it. Can you please send me the .psd file, cause i would like to design my wedding invitation like your wallpaper…
Greetings from germany.
Felix, glad you like it :) I can’t send you the psd file since the image is licensed. You’ll need to purchase the license yourself.
Adam, thanks for your quick answer…
I tried to find the a way to purchase the picture but cannot find anything.
Can you help me? Do you have a link? Please, it is very urgent!!!
Thanks Felix
Felix, it seems the photo is not for sale anymore. You can do a search for “torn paper” on iStockphoto.com for similar images.
Is there a version without the text on a torn paper in the middle? I’d like just the background, looks very nice!
George, I’ve already posted gradient-only version. See my comment from July 23th for download link.
Oh, how did I miss that? Went through the whole thread before posting the question…
Anyways, thanks a lot Adam! I love these wallpapers! :)
This wall paper is very cool in my desktop, thanks
