Eveytime I look at the Find My Friends app or on the new iCal on Lion I feel like we are finally in texture hell. That "leather" in the Find My Friends app just reminds me too much of skin, so I simply had to do this :)
@Arno totally!! I've been a big fan of that style for ages but it is just not working for me anymore. It's like eating way too much of your favorite cake. I'm already working on a new version of ZT and you definitely won't find any wood or other bold textures in there anymore.
Great shot, haha. I totally agree re: textures, and Apple (particularly with iOS) seems to be a big offender. The textures (and typography) in Game Center are just awful.

Weird, I thought dribbble was all about jerking off over textures, hairlines and retro type.
