Textures are used more often than one may think and in fact they are essential building blocks for designers. The reason why most people are not aware that textures are being used everywhere is that textures usually remain in the background or fade into other elements, supporting the overall design. This way textures are used to create a more realistic ore authentic atmosphere.
How you use textures is entirely up for you but I’m sure you can’t resist to take a closer look at the selection you will find below.

In this article I have selected 40+ great textures on Flickr, all with Creative Commons license. I have also included a stunning list of texture resources that you can’t afford to miss.

Before you use any of the textures make sure you check the license carefully.

In celebration of 25 years of business, Minneapolis based Duffy & Partners (one of the most renown and internationally recognized design firms) has created a gallery showcasing logos from 1984 to the present. The slideshow on the Duffy website (select 25 years in the top left menu). The logos are awesome I believe and it is very interesting to see how logo trends have developed over the last 25 years. A few of the featured logos have been picked out and included below.

Besides the logo showcase Duffy & Partners have created a time line telling the story of how it all started and how the company became what it is today. Besides showcasing loads of brands, logos and products they have worked with over the years, hovering some of the images will briefly give you the story and context for specific projects and events.

Finally just recently Duffy & Partners have created a slide show capturing a day in the life of Duffy’s logos – presenting how design influences our everyday lives. There are some really awesome photographs, statements and colour to enjoy here and they are linked together into a story bringing it all together.
