Basic Apple Guy shared the new wallpapers and the background on how the new creation came to life in a blog post this weekend.
To get everyone up to speed, at WWDC14, in the early days of the transition from OS’s named after big cats (Lion, Jaguar, Tiger, Leopard, etc.) to places in California, Craig Federighi joked about Apple’s “Crack Marketing Team” driving around California in search of the next name for OS X. Before unveiling OS X Yosemite; Apple teased about considering OS X Oxnard, OS X Weed, and yes, OS X Rancho Cucamonga
To give Rancho its due, rather than being the butt end of a WWDC joke, I wanted to see if I could create a beautiful macOS-style wallpaper of this locale.
For speed, Basic Apple Guy created the first design with Midjourney but it was such a low resolution that he decided to recreate a version from scratch at a higher quality with more detail as well as “a vectorized tree at the vanishing point.”
