This summer started out hot, with eyes wide open and monitoring the World Cup in Russia. Warm summer weather inspired the color palette. - Designed by Marijana Pivac from Croatia. We are regularly looking for creative designers and artists to be featured on Smashing Magazine. You can feature your work in our magazine by taking part in our Desktop Wallpaper Calendar series.All images can be clicked on and lead to the preview of the wallpaper,.Have a great July - no matter what you have planned!

Please note that some of the wallpapers come in two versions as usual (with and without a calendar for the month), while the best-of selection at the end of the post only covers the non-calendar versions. In this post, you’ll find free wallpapers for July 2018 created by artists and designers from across the globe as it has been our monthly tradition since more than nine years already.

So why not bring a bit of that summer joy to your desktop, too? The time for spending every free minute outside to enjoy the sun and those seemingly endless summer days, be it in a nearby park, by a lake, or on a road trip, exploring unfamiliar places.

For most of us, July is the epitome of summer.
