Ornate Backgrounds Part 3
3rd edition — by Patrick McNeil — Oct. 17, 2007
The Design Element
There is no getting around it, the use of ornament is a popular trend right now. But like many other patterns we can see that the quality of usage has slowly increased as designers work it into their mindset. This set of designs are really sharp, and their usage of ornamental backgrounds shows just how terrific the style can look. And the best thing is that it doesn't feel forced or like an after thought. The ornamental designs have been carefully crafted to fit into the design for a unified result.
