Update: Goshdarn, I forgot that Blogger allows maximum of 1600 pixels. Here is a link to a zip file of both, in full size.

Background patterns
Sometimes I get tired for a while of having a distracting photo on my desktop ("wallpaper"). But on the other hand, just a solid color is very boring. So I got the idea of making these subtle patterns. They are both based on photos, and made to a tiling pattern with a Photoshop plugin called Terrazzo, and then bled of most of the contrast. I quite like them, whaddayathink?

I like the designs but I feel like my gaze has drifted 90 deg. downward...I'm looking at someone's beautiful kitchen tile. I think you're on to something though...I bet a wallpaper that looked like a classy artistic real wallpaper would be cool.
ReplyDeleteIs this something that went away ten years ago and has not come back?
ReplyDeleteI found some nice wallpaper tiles years ago, they are simple 16*16 or 32*32 bmp's which you tile on Windows dessktop, and I think I had something similar on system 7.
I never did really care for photos as the wallpaper, but the best one I had was a photo of my retina, I scanned it, the changed it to be blues not reds. Looked pretty cool.
Gorgeous, especially the top one! :) Thanks for sharing, Eolake.
ReplyDeleteI find I have to be very careful what kind of picture I put on my desktop. Too busy isn't any fun.
