Starnet — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 18:17:50 +0000

This time we are publishing a set of 5 colorful patterns that are mostly in bright and dark pink color.All patterns are 530×530px in size and can be put to good use for example Twitter backgrounds. They can also come in handy for various printing projects or website designs. You can change the color as you wish, just open the . jpeg file in Photoshop, ad the desired color, ad the preferred mode and save it as a pattern (Edit-Define Pattern). You can download the premade patterns below or get the Photoshop .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 .pat file that has to be installed in Photoshop in order to use it on your artwork.

First 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, hit ‘open’ and select ‘Add’. Next time you open Photoshop, the new patterns will be in the pattern library already.

6 seamless green retro patterns

Starnet — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 15:08:23 +0000

Today’s post is meant for retro vintage fans and this time its all about gray and green.The patterns are pretty large and so can be used greatly for any print or web project, and if they are to big for your needs, you can always make them smaller, but be careful about scaling to preserve tile-ability. You can also change their color and by using blend mode add a texture of your liking and re-save them as patterns. The seamless textures are 600x600px in size and can be snatched separately below or you can download the entire Photoshop .pat file here.

Use them well and enjoy!

Starnet — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 10:30:23 +0000

We all know how appropriate it is, to have a big library of textures on your computer when you are working on a design project and don’t have the time to make the textures you need yourself.Today’s post contains something for the metal textures fans, that can be used for your web or print projects, business cards, backgrounds, posters or basically anything you can think of. I am aware that there are literally tons of free metal textures out there, but i always say that no two textures are alike, so there is always room for one more free texture. Today’s package contains 9 lightly scratched industrial tileable metal textures in gray grunge look. Textures are 530x530px in size and can be downloaded below or you can get the entire package in Photoshop .pat file here.

Subtle background patterns

Starnet — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 18:30:51 +0000

Today’s post was made spontaneously from some patterns i needed for a project i was working on, and they needed to be more subtle so they could be used for light backgrounds for web pages and blogs.

All 9 seamless patterns are in pale colors, which is great if you want your fonts or other graphic elements to stand out from your projects background. Ofcourse you can do anything you like with these in Photoshop, like change color, intensity and structure of patterns. The textures below are 500x500px in size and can be snatched separately. If you want the whole package of patterns, you can download it here.

I hope this will be useful and helpful in your future design projects.
