I am very pleased to present to you the first interview here on HRT. A few months ago, I noticed some outstanding textures in the HRT Flickr pool and I wanted to find out more about the artist, Tyson Crosbie. Turns out, he’s a professional photographer from Phoenix, Arizona, and he agreed to do this interview and share some details about his artwork and the process behind it. So let’s hear, what he’s got to say:
When trying to come up with new ideas for textures, I often turn to Flickr for inspiration. The vast amount of texture images on there is overwhelming and sometimes makes it hard to find the ones you are looking for. In order to make things easier for you, I created an overview with 5 groups, which offer a great variety of texture photos and have a solid user base, so that new content keeps flowing in on a regular basis.
Over the last 2-3 weeks, lots of different articles about and collections with various high resolution textures have been published all over the design community. In this post, I would like to present the most important ones, in order to make sure that you don’t miss any of the action. So let’s get right to it:
Web Design Ledger is a relatively young web design blog, which delivers high quality content with every post they publish. Their latest article features 30 brilliant vintage textures created by several artists on deviantart. There are lots of wallpaper, grunge and floral textures available, so head on over there in order to grab some great images!
Today, I would like to share a few locations, which I think are great for texture photography.
From personal experience, the most productive photography sessions I had so far, took place in the forest. Most of the times, you have a great variety of bark due to the diversity of the trees. Next to that, if you are in a humid area, there is a great chance of finding lots of moss and fern. (more…)
Famous Smashing Magazine published a huge inspirational post, which showcases loads of websites that use either patterns or textures as a background. And the best thing about it – highresolutiontextures.com has been included in the “wood” category! This is smashing news and such an honor.
