11 Free Hi-Res Light Grunge Textures (Set 1)

Franz Jeitz — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 12:15:36 +0000

It’s an absolute pleasure to release these 11 Free High Resolution Light Grunge Textures. Each one is a stunning 3200px wide which makes them perfect for web and print purposes. I’ve recently bought a graphite stick and these textures are the result of experimenting with different surface textures. You can incorporate them into your backgrounds or use them to lightly distress your type and designs. Though I’m sure that you can think of loads more ways to use them. As always, they’re free for both personal and commercial use. You can either download each texture individually or download the whole set at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!

Free Hi-Res Grunge Border PS Brush Set + Textures

Franz Jeitz — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 11:34:21 +0000

Today’s freebie set is all about grunge. It’s a pleasure to present to you the latest Photoshop brush set consisting of 11 free high resolution grunge borders. The grunge lines were created by rubbing a graphite stick over straight edges of different objects. As you can see from the banner these PS brushes are great to create grunge borders around your designs as well as to simulate hand-drawn lines. The reason why the lines are diagonal are so that I could make them as large as possible. All lines are between 3000px and 3500px in length. I know that some people prefer to work with textures which is why I made the source files available too. You can download all 11 grunge lines as a single high resolution jpg. All you need to do is cut out the line you require and paste it into your design.

I hope you can put them to good use in your commercial and personal projects. Don’t forget to share them if you like them.

10 Free Hi-Res Textures: Rolled Paint Grunge Set 2

Franz Jeitz — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 15:33:29 +0000

It’s been a while since I released a new texture set and imagine my surprise when I realised that I never published these 10 Free High Resolution “Rolled Paint Grunge” Textures that were used for the Rolled Paint PS Brush Set 2. If you’re a regular reader then you know that I love my resources extra large. That’s why all the textures are a minimum of 3000 pixels in size, making them ideal for web and print purposes alike. The small previews don’t really do them justice so I’ve included a few closeups to show the detail. They’re fantastic for background images or to grunge up your designs, giving them a nice organic touch. You can either download each texture individually or download the whole set at the bottom of the post.

12 Free Bicycle Silhouette Vectors

Franz Jeitz — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 13:20:15 +0000

I’m pleased to release these new freebies: 12 free bicycle silhouette vectors. With the Tour de France in full speed and hitting the first serious mountain stage today there’s no better time to get your hands on these beautiful bike vectors. I’m a huge fan of the TdF and it’s great to see two riders from Luxembourg in the top 5. As you can imagine there aren’t many sport discipline where I can root for someone from my home country, let alone 2.

The set contains vectors of racing bikes, BMX, tandems as well as some bicycle pictograms. While I don’t ride a bike myself, like many designers I’m in love with the shape and geometry of bicycles. There’s something intrinsically beautiful about their clean, minimal lines.

All of these were created by hand in Illustrator and for the first time I could put the variable width tool introduced in CS5 to good use. Each bike is a group of different solid shapes so that you can easily alter the colour of the frame or change the spokes of the wheels. As with all the freebies released on the blog these bicycle silhouette vectors are free to use in both personal and commercial projects. Enjoy!

It’s been a long time coming and they’re finally here. I’m please to release 10 Free High Resolution “Rolled Paint Grunge” Textures. These are the source files I used to create the Rolled Paint PS Brush Set 1. All the textures are a minimum of 3000px in size which makes them ideal for web and print purposes.

You can either download each texture individually by simply clicking on the preview image or you can download the whole set at the bottom of the post.

However you choose to proceed I hope that you can put them to good use.

Free Hi-Res PS Brushes: Rolled Paint Set 1

Franz Jeitz — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 18:20:20 +0000

It’s been a while since I last published high resolution PS brushes. Finally I’ve found time over the weekend to create some more and I’m very happy to release this new set containing 10 Free High Resolution “Rolled Paint” Photoshop Brushes. The brushes are between 2400px to 2500px large which makes them ideal for both print and web projects. The small previews don’t do them justice, you have to download to see the fine detail. It was great fun getting messy with water colours and a rubber paint roll. The brushes can be used to quickly grunge up any design giving it a more organic feel or to create distressed borders. Alternatively you can vectorize them and use as a scalable mask. The possibilities are endless and I hope you can put them to good use. As always these hi-res photoshop brushes are free for commercial and personal use. I will be releasing the source textures shortly as well as part 2 of the set. Enjoy!

64 Free Marker Pen Strokes Illustrator Brushes

Franz Jeitz — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 21:19:41 +0000

It’s with great pleasure that I release this freebies set containing 64 free Illustrator Brushes of pen marker strokes and scribbles. They’re great to give any design a more natural, hand-drawn look. All brushes are of the highest quality and you’re free to use them in both personal and commercial works. They are compatible with Illustrator versions from CS upwards. It’s worth mentioning that with brushes like these the best results can sometimes be attained by setting the stroke to 0.25px or less.

And here’s how you install them: Download and extract the .ai file from the archive. Move it to a folder of your choice (Illustrator stores all its default brushes in the directory Illustrator > Presets > Brushes). Open any illustrator document and go to the brushes palette. From the dropdown menu select: Open Brush Library > Other Library and choose the .ai file you just downloaded. That’s it. Enjoy!

I’ve recently watched “2001: A Space Odyssey” which gave me the inspiration for this design. Some screenshots were actually used for colour reference. I hope you like it. Feel free to leave a comment and share it with others if you do. Thanks.
