How to make these Textures

 
The Trick behind these backgrounds:

First of all you need Photoshop or any other software by which you can use the same basic filters and which is able to define any square for a pattern.

 

Step 1:

This is the basic of all textures. Take any picture you like or more important any picture which is having colour composites which looks very appealing to you. Then define a little square. It should have less than 64x64 pixels. Define this square as a pattern.

Open picture >>> use Marquee tool >>> Edit >>> Define Pattern

 

Step 2:

Create a New and empty picture 64x64 pixels in size. I have used this size for quicker loading but you can also take 32x32 or 128x128 or 256x256 pixels. Use Fill and Pattern to create the basic picture.

File >>> New (64x64 pixels) >>> Edit >>> Fill

Sometimes Pattern alone gives a satisfying result for a background.

 

Step 3:

Use and play around with one of following Distortion Filters:

Polarize, Ripple, Twirl, Wave and Zig Zag

Filters >>> Distort >>> Polarize

Sometimes playing around with two of them is also creating interesting results.
