September In All Its Facets (2020 Wallpapers Edition)

September In All Its Facets (2020 Wallpapers Edition)

Cosima Mielke

September is just around the corner and, well, that means it’s time for some new wallpapers! Since more than nine years already, our monthly wallpapers series is the perfect opportunity for artists and designers from all across the globe to challenge their creative skills and dive into a little project just for fun. What tools or techniques they use — be it illustration, lettering, or photography — and what stories they want to tell with their designs is entirely up to them. This always makes for an exciting and unique collection of wallpapers each month anew. And, of course, this month is no exception.

In this post, you’ll find wallpaper designs for September 2020, created with love by the design community for the community. All of them are available in versions with and without a calendar and can be downloaded for free. A big thank-you to everyone who shared their artworks with us — we sincerely appreciate it!

Last but not least, to cater for some extra variety, we also included some favorites from past September editions at the end of this post — timeless treasures from the archives that are just too good to be forgotten. Enjoy!

  • All images can be clicked on and lead to the preview of the wallpaper,
  • We respect and carefully consider the ideas and motivation behind each and every artist’s work. This is why we give all artists the full freedom to explore their creativity and express emotions and experience through their works. This is also why the themes of the wallpapers weren’t anyhow influenced by us but rather designed from scratch by the artists themselves.

September Vibes

“On September 1st, the first day of school in our country, schoolchildren across Serbia would write about what autumn feels like in their neighborhood. Usually, it’s the imagery of fallen leaves rustling under the feet, foggy and chilly mornings with the sun breaking between the murky clouds, a muffled sound of a chainsaw cutting firewood somewhere in the distance, the smells of fruits and vegetables being prepared for home canning. Autumn is the season of serenity, quietness, and reflection.” — Designed by PopArt Studio from Serbia.

“‘Spin me a sunset paradise; Make it glisten in the sun; Give out love and happiness; Free to each and everyone; The kindest smiles and faces; Everywhere that we look.’” — Designed by Anh Nguyet Tran from Vietnam.

Bi, And

“September includes both National Ampersand Day and Celebrate Bisexuality Day, which seemed like a perfect match. This features a bunch of my favorite ‘&’ designs, to celebrate the happy and loving relationships that bi people can have with… anyone. Of any shape, size, gender, and orientation. They’re all valid. (Flag pairings cheatsheet, left to right: bi & proud LGBTQ, also-bisexual, lesbian, straight, asexual, intersex, nonbinary, transgender. Not even trying to be a comprehensive list.)” — Designed by Erin Ptah from the United States.

National Grandparents Day!

“On the 13th of September let’s celebrate National Grandparents Day! They are there to coo over us as babies, to fuss over us toddlers, guide us as kids, and offer love and advice through the teen years and beyond. So take the time this September 13th to say thank-you to your grandparents for all the love, care and fussing they provide through our lives.” — Designed by Ever Increasing Circles from United Kingdom.

Oldies But Goodies

Be it the golden colors of late summer days, a favorite song, or, well, cats — below you’ll find a selection of September wallpapers from the past that are just too good to gather dust somewhere down in the archives. Please note that these designs don’t come with a calendar.

Finding Jaguar

“Nature and our planet have given us life, enabled us to enjoy the most wonderful place known to us in the universe. People have given themselves the right to master something they do not fully understand. We dedicate this September calendar to a true nature lover, Vedran Badjun from Dalmatia, Croatia, who inspires us to love our planet, live in harmony with it and appreciate all that it has to offer. Amazon, Siberia, and every tree or animal on the planet are treasures we lose every day. Let’s change that!” — Designed by PopArt Studio from Serbia.

Flower Soul

“The earth has music for those who listen. Take a break and relax and while you drive out the stress, catch a glimpse of the beautiful nature around you. Can you hear the rhythm of the breeze blowing, the flowers singing, and the butterflies fluttering to cheer you up? We dedicate flowers which symbolize happiness and love to one and all.” — Designed by Krishnankutty from India.

Flower Soul

Autumn Rains

“This autumn, we expect to see a lot of rainy days and blues, so we wanted to change the paradigm and wish a warm welcome to the new season. After all, if you come to think of it: rain is not so bad if you have an umbrella and a raincoat. Come autumn, we welcome you!” — Designed by PopArt Studio from Serbia.

Maryland Pride

“As summer comes to a close, so does the end of blue crab season in Maryland. Blue crabs have been a regional delicacy since the 1700s and have become Maryland’s most valuable fishing industry, adding millions of dollars to the Maryland economy each year. With more than 455 million blue crabs swimming in the Chesapeake Bay, these tasty critters can be prepared in a variety of ways and have become a summer staple in many homes and restaurants across the state. The blue crab has contributed so much to the state’s regional culture and economy, in 1989 it was named the State Crustacean, cementing its importance in Maryland history.” — Designed by The Hannon Group from Washington DC.

Fresh Breeze

“I’m already looking forward to the fresh breezes of autumn, summer’s too hot for me!” — Designed by Bryan Van Mechelen from Belgium.

Summer Collapsed Into Fall

“The lands are painted gold lit with autumn blaze. And all at once the leaves of the trees started falling, but none of them are worried. Since, everyone falls in love with fall.” — Designed by Mindster from India.

Summer Ending

“As summer comes to an end, all the creatures pull back to their hiding places, searching for warmth within themselves and dreaming of neverending adventures under the tinted sky of closing dog days.” — Designed by Ana Masnikosa from Belgrade, Serbia.

Funny Cats

“Cats are beautiful animals. They’re quiet, clean, and warm. They’re funny and can become an endless source of love and entertainment. Here for the cats!” — Designed by UrbanUI from India.

Do You Remember?

“My wife tells me ‘You have a song for everything!’ and this month was no exception. Earth, Wind, and Fire’s happy, danceable tune was the first thing to come to mind. For me, the catchy beat and memorable lyrics are such a contrast to the month that heralds the first day of autumn, ushering in a ‘temporary death’ yet with a certain, not-too-distant re-quickening. It’s the 22nd this year, so we took liberties with that excerpt. Ironically, co-writer Allee Willis claims no significance to the date, stating, in an interview with npr.org, ‘It just sang better.’” — Designed by Brian Frolo from Cleveland, Ohio.
