A bookshelf is nice…if you have books to put on it. But it’s 2010, and, for better or worse, my copy of Angry Birds is seeing a lot more use than my copy of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
Thankfully, designer Jeff Broderick whipped up this elegant iOS 4 background to house all our other modern day classics. Yeah, OK, I know we’re supposed to be moving away from these kitschy design metaphors, but I can’t help enjoying seeing all my apps lit up proudly like trophies in some wondrous nerd trophy case.
You can grab the background here, but please save a spot on the shelf for iBooks, it’s the least you can do. [Dribbble]

Notice the buttons above to get backgrounds cropped and formated for the exact resolution of your iDevice.

Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 4:41 PMHi Kyle, if you hold the phone differently (remove finger from left hand lower corner black strip) while taking a screenshot, you’ll have reception.

It’s pretty easy to tweak that to make it look awesome on the iPhone too:
