Completed a new website recently for Crystal Metal Polishing, based in the Midlands UK. At this point, all they wanted was a simple one-page website, but something that looks the part. We got cracking with the site design, and have created a very simple, but sexy piece of interweb!

Go check out the Crystal Metal Polishing website now.

Recently i’ve been finding that a lot of modern sites are using subtle textures to add depth to their designs. I’ve taken a few moments to pick out a handfull of designs that use lovely subtle effects :

one.Twenty.Seven

The one.Twenty.Seven site uses really nice texture in the background, which reminds me of used chalky slate. This could be deliberate as once upon a time designers would have “roughed” up their work on these older mediums. Personally, i think it’s a very well thought out design, with some great touches.

Camp Kintail

Notice how this site utilises textures to make it feel wild, outdoors and adventurous. The textures used in this design aren’t over-the-top, and add a real feeling to the design. Great job!

Douglas Menezes

Another arty site, but everything works perfectly. The textures in this design make the doodle look as though they are hand-drawn onto paper. Simple, but very effective.

Well I hope these have given you some inspiration for your next design / project. Feel free to comment this post below :
