Hey All,
Can someone tell me where I can learn how to make backgrounds like Ingo uses here:

I am referring to the blue background.  Thank you.

Hey.. thatīs simply a wallcovering-piece with a tile-feeling that they have faded out to black..

Letīs say you take an image like this one
Line_s_Thai_Vinyl_Wallcovering.jpg

then you just do some photoshop like change the hue to whatever you want to fade out the edges.. and voila!

Hope this make sense to you.. good

Hey Laveklint,
Thanks a ton!  I am curious if he actually builds them based off something like the above graphic.  The reason I say this is his seem like they are more pixel based, if that makes sense.

Or is it his method of “tweaking” the above image to get the desired result?

In any case, thanks again for the quick reply….really appreciate it.

Scaling down the pattern and applying a sharpening effect can help create that sharp, pixel effect.

Or, there are really talented designers like Squidfingers who actually design ornate pixel patterns that scale seamlessly.
