One of Stockvault’s sister sites, www.texturepacks.net just got a nice and moody makeover. Bjorgvin has been working on the new design for the past couple of weeks, trying to illustrate how one can use all those excellent textures when designing websites.  If you’re not sure what the site is all about, it’s basically a mini stock photo site where you can buy high resolution texture images in packs of 25. The textures can be used for both personal and commercial work. Highly Recommend!
