Sturgeon's Law

I've been realizing more and more that a good number of seamless textures are really poorly constructed, or lack 'real world' uses (retina burning colors, and shapes).

This observations is summed up with Sturgeon's Law which states:

“Ninety percent of everything is crud”

This seems so true, however is pretty pesimistic. Optimistically, it just means that to find the gems, one must sift through a whole lot of mud.

Sturgeon's Law is kind of parallel to Pareto Principle, or most of us know it as the 80/20 Rule. This rule is an optimistic, real world look at almost every system. From business sales, to group participation, it holds true.

So.... back to my point.... Most of the seamless textures are not well done, However those textures that are well done, shine above the others. Hopefully, you will find the textures on this site to be nicely done, and fall well within the 20% of loving-goodness.

What do you think of the laws/rules? What do you think of the textures on this and other websites?

Cheers,
Patrick

Seamless Texture - Blue Sky 2

Mr. Blue Sky is a 2-way tileable texture... not up-down, but side to side. As with all sky textures it can be stretch easily and still looks great.

Seamless Texture - 2009 Election Colors

The 2009 election will be remembered for many things, but one of the graphical things is the cool colors developed for the Obama campaign. Democrats or Republican, these colors will be in our culture for several years. I'm glad I like the colors.

A bit of a spin on the previous orange box texture... with a nice 3D look. I like! Really the red drop shadow helps give good depth to the texture. As Emeril would say... Bam!
