How do you get a good website background?

Featured Replies

I've seen a few sites recently with a great metallic honeycomb like backdrop, similar to the one used at www.davidforbes.com

 

This cannot be a small image file simply repeated as it is much brighter in the middle than the edges...

 

Where can you get such backdrops from... any ideas?

 

Thank you

 

 

 

Hello q4legend

 

they have used one big image as their background and it can be made with photoshop

That is awesome, well done!

 

Incidentally, how do you get the honeycomb/mesh effect in photoshop?

 

Cheers

You can use one big image, bandwidth is not such a problem these days. I tend to use a 1px wide strip and repeat it, that way no matter how big the viewers monitor is they will always see the background.

 

You can use the strip with a header and footer image making them say 900px wide on page using margin: auto to centre. That way you can add some interesting graphic to the main part and then have a repeating strip at the sides. It gives a good aesthetic to size/performance pay-off.
