Colorful grungy tileable stripes patterns

Starnet — Thu, 13 May 2010 17:55:17 +0000

For all of you who can’t get enough of striped patterns, we offer a new addition to your collection: A colorful grungy stripped pattern set. The collection contains six patterns made of horizontal lines in different color variations. To create it we played around with gradient effect in pastel tones and we added a grainy texture to achieve the grungy look. The jpegs are 530×530 (300 dpi) in size and can be downloaded below or you can snatch the .pat file here.

How to install a pat. file

A pattern is usually an image that can be tiled seamlessly to create a pattern.
Once you’ve downloaded a pattern, you will have to unzip it first.

Than you have a .patfile that has to be installed in Photoshop in order to use it on your artwork.

Copy the .pat files into:
Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS\Presets\Patterns

To load a pattern set, first open Photoshop, go to the Patterns palette then click the small arrow in the top right corner and choose “Load Patterns”. Find the .pat file you have just copied to the Patterns folder in step 1, and hit ‘open’. Select ‘Add’ and voila. Next time you open Photoshop, the new patterns will be in the pattern library already…

40 Free grunge textures

Starnet — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 11:02:37 +0000

We are adding 40 new high resolution grunge textures to Startextures.com library. These were all photographed on Slovenian seaside ports, fishing harbors and a salt farm. Lots of them are old worn surfaces of decaying boats and none of the textures were modified in any way with Photoshop, so these are natural surfaces with a grungy look. We made about 350 new texture photographs on this trip and these 40 are the first release. You can expect all of them to be available by the end of the month. Enjoy the textures and be creative!

You can view and download the textures here. Please read the downloading rules in the FAQ section before downloading to avoid being banned.

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.
