Ink Scribbles: Free Hi-Res Photoshop Brushes

It is time for another free high resolution Photoshop Brushes Set. This time I used India Ink and a bamboo stick to go completely crazy. This resulted in 21 Ink Scribbles (or Smudges) Brushes. As always I only provide you with the highest resolution brushes, these are between 2243px and 2500px large. Grab them and get creative. Don’t forget to post your designs in the Fudgegraphics User Showcase on Flickr for all of us to see.

Steady Still: Free March 09 Wallpaper

This post is part of the free calendar wallpaper series. Each month I create a new wallpaper featuring the current calendar. Looking at the same image over and over again is not very stimulating. Hence having a new background each month should help getting your creative juices flowing. March 09 Calendar Wallpaper is entitled “Steady Still”. There’s no real meaning behind it. I just liked the sounding of the words.
As always a non-calendar version of the wallpaper is also included and the following resolutions are available:

  • 1920×1200 (suitable for 1440×900)
  • 1600×1200
  • 1280×1024
  • 320×479 (iPhone, non-calendar version only)

What’s Your Favourite Colour?

colour-wheel

Colours tell a lot about someone’s personality. So in an effort to learn a bit more about my favourite designers and bloggers I started a 1-question mass interview to ask them what their favourite colour is. Although the colours they chose are very different these 40 creative minds have one thing in common. They are at the top of their game and I respect them deeply for their contributions to the design community. So please visit their websites/blogs and discover outstanding articles, free high quality resources and gorgeous designs.
As a bonus I made an A2 poster containing all the favourite colours with the respective names for you to download as pdf for free. All you need to do is take it to your local print shop or simply use your inkjet at home to print it. Read the rest of this entry »

Seasons: Free Christmas Print

Let me start of with wishing you all a very jolly Christmas. Today is the traditional Christmas present day. Though I don’t have a tree nor wrapping paper I still want to give you a present to celebrate the festive season. Rather than giving away another set of Photoshop brushes or textures I decided to make something more special: a “free” print design. I would have loved to send you all a finished print, but my financial means did not allow this. Instead you have the possibility to download the hi-res pdf (A3, 300dpi) of the print design entitled “Seasons”. Grab it and take it to your local print shop or simply use your home printer. You can choose between a blue or brown version (or both). I hope you like the present and don’t worry, I don’t expect anything in resturn. Happy Holidays!
