pixels for the background of my poster and box template

This is a late upload of some of the ideas i had for the background on my packaging i had a go at taking my own photos and editing them on the computer,however they wouldn't pixelate enough for what i wanted for and eventually i decided to stick with the picture i already had on the box template but these are the ones i pulled of google to try on my packaging. i needed something that people would notice of a shelf but not see it as a blast of colour that they want to get away from so i looked around to find one that had the balance i was looking for and these are the ones i sealed on until i was able to take my own photo, but as i explained i have not been able to.

 I chose  this one because of it intricate nature and the colour i liked the way it came from far away into the foreground and splayed out giving it a nice effect. but it was to bright and i didn't use it, because it is so bright it lead to distraction of the text and i needed for the text to be read rather the people looking at the background...... obviously i need it to be eye catching but no so much that people only see the background.

 originally i chose this one because it was dark and had hints of colour in but eventually it became to plain and i began to dislike it. Also because it was brown it looks really muddy and i didn't want that of my work so i went and looked at lighter pictures to see if i could find one that has that balance i was looking for.

 This was the design i settled on it has a mix of colours i like and it worked well with my box and the writing i used to altogether it was a finished piece that i was happy with. I would have gone with a brighter picture but they were either the wrong colour or too bright for what i needed.

 the design i found later when ii was looking for backgrounds to use for my other products and i still might use it later if i have time to make a box for either of my other products. I like the way all the colours match each other without it being to bright or too green.

This i tried out and found it to be to intricate for my work as it distracted from what i was trying to achieve and you couldn't see the righting in-front of it which was annoying because i really liked this picture but it was unusable.
