• 5 minutes READ

When it comes to mobile app interfaces, textures as well as patterns are incredibly versatile tools. They serve various purposes:

  • Add depth and richness to design;
  • recreate true-to-life effects;
  • highlight key elements;
  • visually break up content into various functional divisions;
  • provide sharp contrast between background and foreground elements;
  • maintain brand identity;
  • enhance personality of an app.

Skillfully collaborating with other decorations, textures can easily complement or fetch out adornments, making an interface look unique and memorable.
