I was working on updating my website last night when I realized the background color was very dull and and boring. I decided that I needed some kind of background but for my site I really just wanted something simple. This is where pixel patterns come in. They are great way to add visual style without drawing a lot of attention. I came across a site k10k that has a ton of pixel patterns for you to check out. These patterns are great because you can just drop them in and go. There are also plenty of resources out there for patterns similar to these or even how to create your own patterns. A quick search on Google and you will be creating your own in no time!
