July 27, 2010Great list! The effective use of texture can really give depth to a website. Mix this with good photography and typography, and you have a killer combination. We used the texture of smoke on our site.

July 28, 2010Cool, I really like textures, infact I also do use them in my web-site.
Be careful with the total size of the page though! I had to do a lot of optimization and base64 encoding to get an average good loading speed.

July 28, 2010I’ve used texture, or we have a template that was fitted with a texture and I just love the effect and dimension that is gives a flat page. This is a great list and really diverse examples of ow they can be used. Thanks for sharing.
Justin Cosgrove
July 28, 2010Thanks for featuring my site. Were very proud of it. Steve Mullen did a fantastic job and it was well worth the investment.
I wanted awesome textures and a modern/hip look and feel. Most recording engineer sites look like something made on geocities in the early 90′s when HTML was young and full of energy.
I didn’t want to portray some 80′s burnout engineer with a crappy looking site. So we came together and this is the result of our brainstorming and his fantastic web design skills.
Thanks again! And enjoy!
Tucker Graczkowski
