I am a Graphic Design student in my fourth year. I have recently started my own Graphic Design business. I also have the added challenge of being disabled (quadriplegic). I am paralyzed from the shoulders down with limited movement in one arm, and I do not have the function of my wrists or hands.
Utilizing the computer as allowed me to excel in my schooling. With the aid of a Macintosh computer and some adaptive equipment & software, I have been successful in overcoming many of the physical challenges of my disability, allowing me to pursue a career in Graphic Design. Specializing in computer graphics.
I have put a good bit of time into designing these Texturized Backgrounds. If you like the Backgrounds in Vol.1 and are going to use them, I'm asking for a small Shareware contribution of $5.00 for Vol.1b once paid, than Vol.2 is free. Living on my Disability income makes my budget very tight. Your $5.00 Shareware contribution will really help. Thanks!
Respectfully, Thomas

File Description:
If your reading this I'm thankful you've decided to download these backgrounds. It seems that everyone has made an attempt at creating PPD backgrounds. There are some wild and exciting PPD backgrounds available, but your eyes go crazy if you leave them on your screen for longer than a minute. And I certainly wouldn't want those wild and crazy PPD backgrounds on my screen when I am giving a computer presentations to my Graphic Design clients. Are you ready for something different?
These Desktop Background Textures are High-Class and Unique. The textures used are 3 dimensional. The kind of textures that look like you could reach out and touch them (hence the name;"Touch-Me Textures"). If you have a color monitor with your Mac and you like it looking sharp, these backgrounds will make your Mac style'n!
Touch-Me Textures vol.1b contains 18 (128x128) backgrounds made to run in 8, 16, & 24 bit color using Desktop Textures 2.1. These backgrounds are sharp & professional and were originally designed to be used as multimedia backgrounds. This can be accomplished by copying the desired background from within Desktop Textures 2.1 and than pasting the 128x128 background into your multimedia application. If you like backgrounds for your Screen the utility application Desktop Textures 2.1 is fantastic. One place to downlaod it from is the MacWorld Software Library, Graphics online AOL.
I have also uploaded a Touch-Me Textures Sampler. It's for those people who want a quick downlaod to see if they like my background textures. It has 4 different Touch-Me Textures (different from those in vol.1). The Sampler is Freeware. Look for the Sampler in the same place you found this one.
Textures range from soft, delicate textures on pastel canvases, to big & bold texture shapes that jump out of the exciting color collages. Most texture backgrounds are seam-less (or nearly seam-less). A few of the backgrounds are tiled by design. The names I've chosen for the different backgrounds probably could be better. I tried to be creative. Most often I picked the first thing that came to mind. I welcome any suggestions.
This volume contain a small variety of the many backgrounds I've designed. If I receive a good response I will be uploading future Volumes. Please E-Mail me for any requests. I will customize the backgrounds textures. If you like the texture of one of the background, but want a different color or vise-versa let me know. Also E-mail me with any comments or inquiries. The small $5.00 shareware contribution is worth it.
4 Texture Backgrounds in Sampler - Freeware
18 Texture Backgrounds in Vol.1 - Shareware $5.00
12 Texture Backgrounds in Vol.2 - **Free (only to those who paid for Vol.1)
