Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/creativemarket.com\/blog\/tag\/design-it-yourself\">Design it Yourself series<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1920\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1080 \/ 1920;\" width=\"1080\" controls src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/04\/16075949\/Drop-39_Design-it-Yourself.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Set_Up_Your_Canvas\"><\/span>Step 1: Set Up Your Canvas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open Adobe Illustrator and create a new artboard. Make sure your dimensions match your screen\u2014for instance, we&#8217;re going with an iPhone 14 setup (1170 \u00d7 2532px, 21:9 ratio). Go to File &gt; New, punch in your size, and hit Create. Easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Pick_Your_Elements\"><\/span>Step 2: Pick Your Elements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jump onto Creative Market and grab spring-themed illustrations that feel fresh\u2014think flowers, pastel shades, and leafy details. We&#8217;re using &#8220;Riads \u2013 Stylish Handwriting Font&#8221; by ARSAVISUAL for the text, so download that and get it installed. Save everything in one folder so it&#8217;s quick to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Start_Composing\"><\/span>Step 3: Start Composing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drag your chosen illustrations onto your artboard and move them around to build your spring vibe. Use Illustrator&#8217;s Layers Panel to keep organized\u2014trust me, it&#8217;ll save you headaches later. Play around with sizes, placements, and transparency until everything feels balanced. Group bigger flowers near edges to frame your calendar, then sprinkle smaller bits around for texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Calendar_Basics\"><\/span>Step 4: Calendar Basics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grab your Type Tool (T) and write out your weekdays: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun. Select the Riads font you installed earlier and tweak the size and spacing from the Character panel (Window &gt; Type &gt; Character). Keep it casual but readable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Calendar_Grid_Setup\"><\/span>Step 5: Calendar Grid Setup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select your weekdays text box, then hit Type &gt; Area Type Options. Set Rows and Columns each to 7. This creates your neat little calendar grid. Click under &#8220;Sun,&#8221; hit Enter, and start typing dates. Adjust spacing in the Paragraph panel (Window &gt; Type &gt; Paragraph) if needed\u2014clean but chill is the vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_6_Make_It_Personal\"><\/span>Step 6: Make It Personal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t forget to mark down special dates, birthdays, or deadlines. Highlight them using Illustrator\u2019s Ellipse Tool (shortcut L). Circles in subtle colors work great\u2014drop their opacity a bit to keep the look soft and integrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s it! In just a few steps, you&#8217;ve got a fresh, personalized spring wallpaper. Now go brighten up that screen and make it yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s quick Design it Yourself project is all about making a spring-themed calendar wallpaper that&#8217;ll brighten your screen.
