21 High-Res Textures to Use In Your Next Project

Textures are great for any project around, let it be Photoshopping, web design, graphic design, or just messing around, and here at 16.3 we want to give you the best stuff for doing this stuff. I spent a few days looking through DeviantART, finding the best textures for work.

These are some really nice textures that I’ve handpicked and viewed. This took me quite a while to compile but I think it’s worth it. I tried to have only the best, but if you need more, you can always go to DeviantART and look around. We’re against stealing, so you can find usage limitations by each picture description.

Most of these images can be used with either a simple notification to the author or an attribution in the work. Some of these are non-commercial only, and most of these are Creative Commons-licensed. We hope you enjoy this collection!

[Project] Sleek: A Free CSS Template

I had some excess time the other day, and with this extra time I had, I decided that I would make a contribution to the community by releasing a free CSS template: sleek.

Sleek is true to its name. It has a monochrome layout that gives heavy emphasis to its content, which is beautiful as a photo blog or a single page portfolio.
