Wallpaper creation
How to design an iPhone wallpaper that stays readable
A wallpaper has to support the clock, widgets, and icons. Start with the crop and quiet areas before adding effects.
A clear sequence
- Choose the screen and orientation first.
- Keep the focal subject away from the clock and widgets.
- Leave enough contrast for icon labels.
- Preview light and dark appearance when relevant.
- Save a clean version alongside any stylized version.
A wallpaper succeeds when the screen remains easy to read at a glance.
