    hello, I am working on a website design. I have not designed many designs that use patterns or textures so I am getting used to this. When using a design heavily centered on pattern usage what are the techniques that make it look more sharp and modern. As patterns tend to give a retro feel, I want to make it modern without using shadows/gloss.

    Suggestions/ideas please!
