Unique Photographic Textures & Backgrounds on CD-ROM
Aimed at professionals in the computer design world, all of the images on Image Farm's 5 CD-ROMs have been professionally photographed and chosen specifically for their potential use in commercial design projects such as brochures, packaging, magazine ads, video games, TV and video graphics, and multimedia-based projects. Acknowledging a large and diverse range of design styles, Image Farm provides photographic images ranging from close-ups of the natural world to cutting-edge, urban details. The emphasis is on providing a thorough selection of contemporary design components to a sophisticated generation of designers.
Image Farm textures have been photographed in diverse and visually captivating regions throughout the world including Berlin, London, Arizona, the Canadian Rocky Mountains and more. The images can be used by designers as unmodified elements in the creation of artwork or designs, or as templates that can be manipulated into entirely new elements through the application of filters, or by altering color, contrast or shape.
CURRENT CD-ROM RELEASES:
• Volume 1 - ARIZONA DESERT
A desert landscape is one of natural extremes. Unlike the barren, sandy depiction that typically comes to mind, Image Farm desert images reveal colorful sand and rock formations, cracked earth, dry grasses, giant Saguaro cacti, fractured rock, and layers of natural sediment. This eclectic mix of natural elements, as well as the architecture and art that they inspire, are a display of the variety and beauty that lies within the desert.
• Volume 2 - BERLIN WALLS
When the Berlin Wall came down, a city scarred by a tumultuous history was suddenly revealed to the rest of the world. Berlin is the perfect setting for a series of images enriched by history, culture, art and political upheaval. A professional photographic eye, combined with a passion for the city, enabled Image Farm to capture some of the world's most vibrant graffiti, descriptive physical decay, and miles of distressed and weathered surfaces.
• Volume 3 - COTTAGE & COUNTRY
Far away from the concrete cityscape, lies the pastoral beauty of the countryside and the many cottage retreats it conceals. Image Farm brings you the visual splendor of the countryside with images of lush foliage, creeping vines, dry leaves and grass, moss-covered tree bark, weathered barn board, and woven mats and baskets that you would find in and about the cottage. Enjoy a photographic walk through the country and discover the natural textures and backgrounds it reveals.
• Volume 4 - REAL ROCK
In this stunning collection of photographic images, Image Farm has captured the beauty and unlimited diversity of rock surfaces. These finely detailed and vibrant images are real textural rock surfaces, from sources as diverse as museum and private rock collections, to the Canadian Rocky Mountains and the shores of Great Britain. Real Rock gives you an abundance of authentic and colorful rock textures, the way that nature intended them to be.
• Volume 5 - STREETS OF LONDON
As one of the world’s oldest and most architecturally rich cities, London is filled with an abundance of beautiful buildings, streets and monuments. A long and eventful history has enriched the appearance of the city’s unique visual facades. Aged stone structures, inlaid rock and mosaics, moss-covered bricks, and ornate sculpted reliefs are just a few examples of the many images contained on Streets of London.
