Textural Troubles and Triumphs Support
So many sites either have no texture, or are else over-textured through (ahem) enthusiastic use of Photoshop or other image editors. In this tutorial, Linda discusses decorative texture as an integral part of web design when done properly.
The tutorial concludes with a check-list of design elements and principles to be taken account when designing texture for your web site.
Linda Goin
Linda Goin carries an A.A. in graphic design, a B.F.A. in visual communications with a minor in business and marketing and an M.A. in American History with a minor in the Reformation. While the latter degree doesn't seem to fit with the first two educational experiences, Linda used her 25-year design expertise on archaeological digs and in the study of material culture. Now she uses her education and experiences in social media experiments.
Accolades for her work include fifteen first-place Colorado Press Association awards, numerous fine art and graphic design awards, and interviews about content development with The Wall St. Journal, Chicago Tribune, Psychology Today, and L.A. Times.
