Found this while walking in NYC today around 33rd and Broadway. Made from the snow piled up on the top of a car parked in the street. I thought it was pretty cool.

Creating an iPhone Background
December 12th, 2009 — 1:13pm
There are a lot of place to download iPhone and iPod Touch backgrounds. I wanted to make one though. I wanted a background that matched my laptops background (another one I made). Its very basic just a black background with some text. I’m a big fan of the minimalism look.
I started out by looking up the screen size of the iPhone, 320 x 480. I made a quick background in Fireworks and loaded it on my iPhone. The text didn’t quite line up though, which made no sense to me at the time. Then I realized that the screen of the iPhone may be 320 x 480, but the actually usable space is 320 x 460. The status bar at the top of the phones screen is always present and takes up 20px (the signal strength, time, and battery life bar). I re-did the background with this resolution and everything lined up nicely.
I included a couple blank templates for iPhone and iPod Touch backgrounds that are already set to the correct size. One is just a blank white background, the other is a blank black background. Feel free to use them and create your own backgrounds.
