Today I saw this website which told me about tiling backgrounds, I made a few on photoshop and decided that I was terrible at backgrounds, here are the two I made
I have decided that I am terrible with backgrounds, which is why I did some research.
I looked at these websites to get some ideas as well as inspiration

and then I decided I would look at the Apple website, to see what professionals would do with layouts.

I was very surprised. It is very plain, very white. But Apple products always tend to be so. So what should a history professor's website look like? Parchment didnt seem very original...quills, pens littering the background is an idea.
I really liked this website background, so I may go with something like this, using some of my father's photos
