Purchasing a bundle of products is much more profitable than all of them separately. Thus beginner designers sometimes choose to get a collection than buy a single product they need, bundles are especially popular among the professionals, who create designs for living. It is like buying the instruments. If you want to make a little renovation in your flat – you will probably buy a hammer, a paint roller and a few brushes. However, if you work in a home renovation service, you purchase a big toolset, because you can’t predict what could come in handy. The bundle of textures and designs is a toolbox that professional web-developers and designers use.
Here, on the MasterBundles you can buy magnificent sets of textures art for a fairly low price. However, the bundle’s availability is limited in time, so if you like a collection of textures and patterns – don’t waste the time and go grab it!
Textures and Patterns: What’s the Difference
Those two things seem to be the same – a picture you can use for design, but there a big difference between them in a matter of how they are used. The texture is a picture that helps you to understand how it would feel like when you touch it. When you say the surface is scratchy, soft or wet – you are speaking about the texture. Painters use textures in art, writers describe texture in books and web-developers use textures as a background for their websites. Of course, those are visual textures, that only create an illusion of the tactile sensation you would feel if touched the surface the painting shows.
Textures are often used as one big piece. The patterns are small images that are not used as a single picture. They are numerously repeated and then used as a piece, constructed of tiles, like a mosaic. Both textures and patterns are popular and used according to the web creator’s needs, taste and business type.
Types of Textures
Textures in the art could be divided into natural and artificial ones. Natural represents the surface of objects that were not constructed by humans: rock, sand, tree bark, clouded sky, e.t.c. Artificial, obviously, is a texture of objects, crafted by men: pencils, bricks, paved road, e.t.c. Visual textures could also be defined as:
- Decorative texture. It is a texture, created to make the surface more beautiful. It is an additional element of the picture and could be easily removed without affecting the colours and shapes of the image.
- Spontaneous texture. This one is tightly connected with the essence of the picture and can’t be separated from it. When an artist creates an image from pieces of old cloth, placing it in a spontaneous way – it is a spontaneous texture.
- Mechanical texture. It is a texture that was created by machine. An image that was printed on the old typography printer is dotted because of the way the machine shows different shades of black and grey. This kind of texture for Photoshop than became a trend and is still used, thus machines don’t print pictures that way anymore.
Where the Textures and Patterns are Used?
Ready-made bundles of textures for Photoshop could be used for different purposes. Like any tool, they have not a single use and not only web developers surf the internet to find a profitable offer of textures and pattern set.
Background image. Of course, you can use those images as they are – place them without any customization to the background and that’s all. Textures art pieces gathered to the bundles you can see above are big and sharp enough to look beautiful even if you stretch them to the full screen.
Photo design. If you are a photographer – bundled patterns and designs are perfectly clear to use them for collages and other photo design tricks. Double exposure is very popular now and pure textures are the best choice for creating such an effect.
Commercial products. Advertising posters, banners and cards sometimes need textures as a part of the picture. Commercial images differ a little from those you do for fun or as an art but you still can use clear textures for Photoshop while creating them.
