Today a reader sent us an ad illustration made out of Finder folders and document icons, which gave me an excuse to organize a desktop clutter art contest for Mac and PC users,

  • Falldog, on 04/18/2008, -6/+15All you have to do is to set a picture as your background then copy and paste until you've covered the image. Reset background, and wallah.
  • TheRealToma, on 04/18/2008, -5/+197Only Mac people do this because they have no games :O

      • anagoge, on 04/18/2008, -0/+25Never from lower right to upper left. It is forbidden. We do not speak of this again.

          • IEatHamburgers, on 04/18/2008, -2/+3HE SAID WE DO NOT SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN! TO THE DUNGEON WITH YOU!

  • dulymachine, on 04/18/2008, -2/+26this is going to lead to someone with no life writing a script for converting a jpeg to desktop icons.... see you in a few hours!!!
  • joshcxa, on 04/18/2008, -5/+12This is quite easy to do. Just set your background to the image you want to copy and put folders on top...easy eh?
    • mikegcallahan, on 04/18/2008, -1/+6Yeah! SO EASY!

      Now try it and see what crap you come up with.
    • RomeyRome, on 04/18/2008, -0/+6Once you're done, you can advance to the next level & reduce you icon size from 48 to 16!
    • ZachSka87, on 04/18/2008, -0/+4Yup! In fact, that's even how the author said he did it! Good job, you can read!!!! w00t!
  • cl2yp71c, on 04/18/2008, -8/+2Was I the only one who noticed that the 2 gray folders on each of the pig's feet are named "negro"?
    • morninglorii, on 04/18/2008, -0/+6And the white ones are named "white", and the pink ones are named "rosa", the yellow ones "amarillo"... I'm pretty sure he's naming them after the colors they are (albeit in different languages).
    • Chetyre, on 04/18/2008, -0/+8If you'll notice, it's in another language. Spanish, I believe...each folder is named after its color.
      • reyesz, on 04/18/2008, -0/+4it is spanish, negro means black
        • munawarali2, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1Wow - I checked Babelfish, and you're right. I never knew that.
        • Jektal, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1..Really? You needed to check Babelfish for that? Where do you think the term "negro" for a black person came from?
        • digitalpencil, on 04/18/2008, -1/+2It's worth bearing in mind that it is pronounced differently.. Calling it 'neegro' will get you slapped like most countries.
      • joef3, on 04/18/2008, -0/+5His name is Jesus Diaz. I'm going to go out a limb and say Spanish is right.
  • Contajeerus, on 04/18/2008, -3/+9Command J > "Snap to Grid" to destroy their electronic house-of-cards nonsense!
    • Jektal, on 04/18/2008, -0/+3Command J? Is that part of this incredible ease-of-use I keep hearing so much about?
  • supershiva321, on 04/18/2008, -14/+1gr8 grafitti...

    • kutateli, on 04/18/2008, -0/+6***** you.
      • arcticblue, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1How did you do that with your name/pic? I'm using FF3b5 and I see your name coming out of the box that is supposed to hold a picture. After the letters leave the box, they're all squished up to fit in right next to the actual name (where everyone else's name is). Sorry for the poor description, but it looks really strange.
  • silentsirens, on 04/18/2008, -8/+7Spider-pig, Spider-pig, Doing whatever Spider-pig does.
  • acegi, on 04/18/2008, -6/+10spider pig is a ***** abomination to otherwise fantastic satiric cartoon known as the simpsons.
    • Durrok, on 04/18/2008, -2/+7Spider Pig = Jar Jar

      What the Phantom Menace were they thinking?
  • sovietninja, on 04/18/2008, -2/+8You know what's scaring me? The names of his drive and his iPod.
    Alice? Cheshire Cat?
    Pedobear Approves!
    • KraftDinner101, on 04/18/2008, -2/+1Negro.Caught me off guard at first, then I read the others and realized that they're Spanish.
    • jinxplayer, on 04/18/2008, -3/+0Cheshire Cat..perhaps hes a big Blink182 fan?
  • josabz2, on 04/18/2008, -7/+2likes:
    homer and spider-pig
    dislikes:
    stupid title. clutter? its not even clutter! clutter (desktop icon) is something that has been used and is not organized e.g its just put somewhere , blah blah blah. try renaming that or your art would just turn into fart.
  • mrjoanofarc, on 04/18/2008, -8/+3He called one of the colors "negro." >:( Well, I guess that's what it's called. :/
    • munawarali2, on 04/18/2008, -0/+4Spanish for black. See other comments above.
  • iRis9091, on 04/18/2008, -10/+4told ya, Mac users are retards, they got nothing better to do than bragg about how much better a Mac is compared to a windows pc
    there it is.. proof..
    "nothing better to do"
  • Ocelot13, on 04/18/2008, -7/+10man what happened to the old digg? you know, the one with real stories that had actual content? not constant picture posts and the same articles being resubmitted every few days.
    someone needs to create digg v2 so itll last for a bit before it gets infested with lolcats and other dumb news stories.
    • DTXT, on 04/18/2008, -1/+2Use the categories and avoid everything else (who wouldn't realise that when it annoyed them that much!)
  • Hacker3dward, on 04/18/2008, -4/+3Dugg for being better than the last desktop clutter art.
  • Phi01, on 04/18/2008, -1/+6way too much time on his hands.
    • DeFex, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1Usually i object to this comment when someone has physically made something (they think is) cool. but this time i must agree.
  • REBELinBLUE, on 04/18/2008, -1/+2This is probably a really stupid question, but does anyone know where to get those different coloured folder icons? I looked on macthemes2.net but couldn't find them on there
  • nibblett, on 04/18/2008, -6/+0SPIDER PIG SPIDER PIG CAN WE SPAM YOUR DESKTOP YES HE CAN CAUSE HE'S A PIG
  • skeletorcares, on 04/18/2008, -2/+4So this is the new way to try and prove you're creative and didn't waste your money on a mac? the duplication of folders! you're a designer now!!! ghey. buried.
  • MH94, on 04/18/2008, -3/+1Centipede FTW
    http://www.play.vg/games/30/Centipede/
  • wufoo, on 04/18/2008, -1/+3Couldn't they have turned off folder names possibly? unless they are actually using them.
  • homeb, on 04/18/2008, -2/+0one question: how mush time?
  • DeFex, on 04/18/2008, -3/+4Seems most of these are done on macs. Maybe thats what you do while you are waiting to be blessed by the magic creativity you get from owning one
  • gangxue, on 04/19/2008, -1/+0I only come to look

  • ferdike, on 04/21/2008, -0/+0View › Clean Up
  • rtmag, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1Wow.... us poor Windows users don't have different-colored folders (without customizing them).
    There is usually so much clutter on my Windows desktop between widgets and icons and folders that it would be beyond any form of art.
  • Nerina85, on 04/27/2008, -0/+0haha.. this is pretty funny :) gives me an idea to start creating my own art with desktop icons :)
