We think we don’t need to explain how paper and card textures are being used in web designing and give the design a very rough cut-and-paste and unpolished style. This kind of a style adds an informal and personal feeling to the design.  Nowadays, one of the most popular design trends is the utilization of paper material. With the help of paper scraps, card textures and notepads, a designer is now able to create an attention-grabbing and elaborated design with a low-fi appearance. In this post, we are going to show you some extraordinary and best web designs that are created by using paper elements and textures. You can notice how paper is used in diverse types of design components like in content areas, backgrounds, navigation menus and all sorts of other web page parts. Hope this post will inspire you. We are waiting for your comments.

Hey! Look at my site http://www.icesixxx.com : it’s all about papers, notes, post-it, pen, stickers,…
I’m a musician and I wanted a somewhat trashy look to my site. It’s fully interactive with lots of stuffs moving, making sound.
Tell me what you think of it, drop me a note on the site.
