Design Resources - Textures & Backgrounds
This list includes all kinds of goodies that I find useful and I’m sure you’ll find something you like here too. All of this stuff I would consider to be a little bit special and even better its free!
The Inspiration Gallery - Unique and original borders, backgrounds, wallpaper.
These are not just the “usual” hideous backgrounds and borders you can
find on the web. There are some very beautiful textures and images
here.
Briar Press - Cuts and Caps
- Fabulous ornamenents and inital capital letters. You can download these vintage images for your personal use in print, web, or even letterpress projects.
Image After - Stock Photographs of Textured Objects
- This a huge collection of photographs. You can download and use any image or texture from the site in your own work. Covers everything from architecture exteriors to household objects.
Squidfingers Patterns - Over 100 different repeating patterns.
Texture Library - More photographs of textures of everything from wood to fabrics to metals.
Background Patterns - Lots of interesting, yet subtle backgrounds for use on web sites.
