Texture
Tasty textures
Texture is certainly one of the more overused and under thought out design elements, but at the same time it is a useful tool to have in the designers toolbox. Because when it makes sense, it can work really really well. Check out these samples to decide for yourself.
Texturized web designs
The use of texture (or distress) in web design was one of the very first topics I covered on Design Meltdown. Since then it continues to be a heavily used approach (and since long before I ever talked about it of course). It’s a style that is appealing for so many reasons, but in the end is often over used.
