Starnet — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 16:00:38 +0000

Hello!

Today we prepared 5 abstract textures. They are made in Photoshop from a different selection of textures you can find on our free textures website Startextures.com and using patterns that were posted in some of our previous posts. So the end result is a combination of patterns, textures and different colors. Textures are quiet large, 3000x3000px (300 DPI) and can be downloaded from our Flickr page.

Grunge photo borders

Starnet — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 19:13:36 +0000

Today we prepared something different. Here is a set of 6 grunge photo borders. There is allot of different similar items out there, but the truth is there can never be enough. You can use them to create any print project, like posters or fliers and they can be very useful in web design as backgrounds or you can use them as grungy wallpapers. With these you can create really stunning print or web graphics due to the size of the files: 4724*3150 (300dpi).
You can also use these as Photoshop brushes but you have to re-size them to the allowed brush limit which is 2500×2500 in Photoshop CS4. You can do this by clicking on Edit – > Define brush preset option in Photoshop. Your new brush will appear in the brush pallet.
You can also use these to fuel your creativity in Photoshop by cutting, modifying, adding new layers, effects and using blend mode to create your own photo borders.

Enjoy!

Free grunge backgrounds

Starnet — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:20:46 +0000

Today i have prepared for you a set of colored backgrounds with a touch of retro. For basic element i used circles, i then set to four different compositions. Then as usual i experimented in Photoshop with applying different gradients, textures, blend modes and styles. I made 4 basic colored backgrounds and extra 4 that were based on the original 4 so you get a better idea of what you can do with these textures. You can change colors, add gradients, experiment with blend modes or just use them as they are now. Posibilities are endless.

Enjoy!

Free grunge textures

Starnet — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:47:44 +0000

Today we are publishing another intensive colors grunge texture set (mostly because of the popularity of another grunge set we published). The textures were made with a similar procedure, with the exception of these being based on paintings. Because of the painting canvas the granulation of these textures is allot higher. I was aiming for a painters effect and i hope i was successful. File sizes are nearly 20MB each for full size, so be patient when downlaoding. The textures are free to use in your designs and i hope they will inspire your creativity.

Grunge striped textures

Starnet — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:57:10 +0000

Today we are releasing a pack of 7 grunge striped textures. The textures were made with stacking multiple layers and using various custom made brushes made from selected textures you can find on our free texture website Startextures.com. When the texture layering was done i have decided to add a striped pattern. The stripes were made in Photoshop and saved as .pat file which makes the pattern available in your brushes window. When i was using the brush tool i selected the texture button on my brushes palette which enabled me to apply the random stripe pattern on the texture. And why are the textures green? Because i am anxiously awaiting spring.

Enjoy the upcomming weather change and check out our blog for more free stuff.
