How to Use Stone Textures in Design
While textures have been a trend in design for a long time, its overuse and frequent misuse have left a bad taste and its benefits overlooked. Here are some tips and ways to ensure textures guide the user’s eye and emphasize the key elements instead of being the main focus of your designs.
- Choose your textures logically. Make sure to choose textures that are relevant and logical to the subject of your design. For example, Aluminum Textures will make a lot of sense when used in websites for industrial companies. It should help build identity, rather than just looking good.
- Consider what you are trying to achieve. It’s easy to get carried away when using textures but you have to keep in mind the final effect that you want to achieve and make sure that your vision is perfectly executed. Dwelling too long in choosing the right texture will never get you done.
- Make sure it serves a purpose. Using stone textures for aesthetic purposes may require some more thought before finalizing your design. If it doesn’t improve your design, take it out. Using stone textures for subtlety and nuance sounds like a better plan and a better way to go about it.
- Ensure that the text where you will place the texture is still readable. It is one thing to design a text, and another to make it standout while still being understood. As an artist, it is your responsibility to make sure that the stone texture that you will use will not make the text not readable.
- Never sacrifice quality for loading time. Using textures on your web pages can require some loading time especially when used as backgrounds or other larger elements. Yet, you don’t need to sacrifice the quality of your texture. Repeating texture patterns is a good way to save time.
