I was on a skiing vacation in Austria and came back with lots of wood textures. Here is a collection of the most outstanding ones. This pack includes 6 high quality images of various sorts of wood or bark. I hope you have fun working with these!
A few weeks back, I went to an antique market in Belgium and besides looking for some hidden gems at the different stands, I was able to take some nice pictures of old wooden chests and antique chairs. I really love, how colorful some of these textures turned out to be, but look for yourself…
At the beginning of october, I moved into a new house with my girlfriend and as we made quite some renovations, I wanted to document those with a special texture pack. This pack includes high resolution images of carpet, tiles, wood and wallpaper. Enjoy!

In order to mix it up a little, it is time for some more inspiration. The following websites illustrate, how one can achieve beautiful results in web design through the use of textures.
slabovia tv: it has a nice wooden background and contains some concrete and paper textures as well. It is hard to describe, what this website is about, so you have to see for yourself. If you want to kill some time, the Monster pig game can help you with that!
decay of intent: this is the portfolio of Italian freelance graphic designer Alessandro Cammarota. He uses a grunge style concrete background on his website.
brainwash factory: design related blog of German freelance designer Ines Opifanti. I like the fabric background in combination with the well-crafted logo.
In addition to the 3 handpicked websites above, here is a link to a post on designerside.com about 42 websites that make use of wood or grain textures.
This guest edition of the mixed texture pack series has been contributed by my dear friend Martin, whom I know since university. He always has some good advice for me when it comes to photography or the Search Engine Optimization of this website. Thanks a lot for that!
Make sure to check out some of his stunning pictures, which he showcases on his photoblog!
Due to the different camera involved, the pictures have a slightly smaller resolution than normal, but 3072 x 2304 pixels can of course still be considered as being high resolution. Grab the free texture pack, which contains 9 pictures, by clicking the download link below.
