Paper texture for a blog. |
http://mckayhead.blogspot.com/2010/11/creating-business-card-using-inkscape.htmlNow that I am getting somewhat serious about blogging, I figure I might as well have a blog that looks somewhat decent. The background sets the tone for your entire blog, so this is my first step.
The look I am trying to go for is kind of a geeky designer look. I have kind of been liking the grunge look recently and think I want to go for something similar to what I did with the business card tutorial.
Step 1: Get your texture
I am going to use a paper texture. I will be setting this up in Inkscape and use this for the basis of my blog.
The texture is good by itself but I want to dilute it a bit. Create a separate layer to create an overlay.
I used a tan color then put the layer blend mode to screen.
Create another overlay that is black. Add a radial gradient. Blur it a bit.
That is it. A nice paper texture background for the blog!
