Textures in UT2004

"Perhaps our peculiar gifts are 'arbitrarily' sacrificed so that they form the foundation and underlying order of conventionality in our world; and let those of us who are truly considered to be 'divinely' inspired, rise and live on in history."







LIGHT


The texture uses straight lines of varying weights and lengths which do not seem to have an overall consistent pattern, yet could hardly be called chaotic or anything else along those lines. They maintain an 'underlying order' by remaining perpendicular to each other.

DARK


The concentric sings are alternately broken at 0 and 180 degrees, or 90 and 270. The design incorporates two initial rings, which represent the clients. The rings slowly run out of space to expand and thus have to share space with each other until the point which both are within the same ring. In the case of the clients, this would be sharing both physical space as well as ideas.

MEDIUM



The black bars in the the texture represent the people who have sacrificed their talents or skills. They lay the foundation, like sleepers on a traintrack, for the world. Upon first inspection the texture looks very rectangular, lending itself to the idea of this sacrifice giving rise to conventionality.
