Textures.

On my front cover I wanted to create a 'grunge' look, so i decided to add a grunge texture. After looking through the internet this is the texture i decided upon.

I think this texture is grungy, it adds a distorted effect to the front cover. When i put it on my front cover, i decided it looked better if it wasn't as obvious, i faded it using the Opacity and Fill tools. I reduced it to 26% and 19%. I think this shows a faded-grunge look and is very effective. I also use the texture as a background on my contents page.
