Fun with textures

Brick House TextureMy family and I recently visited the ghost town of Jerome, AZ, on a trip to our neighboring state to the east. It’s a charming town, and not as touristy as I feared. Jerome’s location, nuzzled into the side of a hill, provided scenic views to the desert below. In between landscape photos that soon filled my camera’s memory card, I found myself admiring scenes that attracted less attention from other visitors.

I fell in love with the beautifully worn walls and sidewalks, often in dark, untouched corners of town. Nature elegantly and randomly deteriorated these places over the years, leave a unique design that no human can recreate. They serve an important function when designing natural, organic looking images.

Textures can be used in many cases, including logos, abstract art, photo manipulations, and more. So if I’m ever caught staring at the side of a building, there might just be a reason.
