Use The Texture!!!!!!!!!

sannbe · #3 Jul 1st, 2007, 20:03

Personally, I like the plain grey. You have never struck me as a texturey sort of designer...Clean and clear...

Weird1993 · #4 Jul 1st, 2007, 20:55

I like the texture better myself.

spinal007 · #5 Jul 1st, 2007, 21:05

plain grey. textured backgrounds suck. they're so 1997! (lol)
just have a look at the worst websites archive and you'll see that most of them have some sort of freaky background.

my personal opinion aside, funky messed up backgrounds make the text harder to read...

pa007 · #6 Jul 1st, 2007, 21:08

I like both but it depends on what it looks like on. Stick it on as a bg so we can see properly. I'm quite liking the pattern at the minute but I like patterns more so...

Yes, but what if he did the textured bit just around the outside and left it plain where the text is, that could work maybe?

As Pete said, you'll have to try it and show us to get a proper opinion.

bruno89 · #8 Jul 1st, 2007, 21:32

JacobHaug · #11 Jul 2nd, 2007, 06:29

Yeah, I am going to have to see both of them on your site. Show us both of them in use. Give us a URL or something.

delusion · #12 Jul 2nd, 2007, 07:40

bruno89 · #13 Jul 2nd, 2007, 08:22

Nah... no texture. The site looks sharp, smart, smooth, slick, etc... the "grandad's wallpaper" on the background doesn't fit in the picture (in my eyes).

Lchad · #15 Jul 2nd, 2007, 11:45

I like texture but not that texture. That's too grown up and old fashion for you bruno.

pa007 · #17 Jul 2nd, 2007, 13:07

I like that pattern actually but not on your site bruno. I've got a nice one that works well on cleaner looking sites. It's just diagonal stripes, grey too so it may fit with you site.

I'll find it and post it up.

Pete.

pa007 · #18 Jul 2nd, 2007, 13:08

Here it is.

My nan actually has that design in her front room

in blue.

If you really want to use textures, you need to go with something modern to show that you can adapt to with the times.
