Apply detailed wood grain effects to your lettering, logos, and graphics with the help of my free Dark Wood Texture Mockups. These Photoshop files contain Smart Object layers you can paste your artwork into, which will then be automatically processed to apply the wood grain texturing. Every fibre and knot will be erased from your artwork to give it a weathered effect that is ideal for rustic or outdoors themed designs. The original plain wood grain textures are also supplied in basic JPEG format, for quick and easy use as backgrounds or overlays within your projects.

Ever since I created the showcase of Unique Packaging and Label Designs for Whisky Bottles I have been wanting to have a go at creating some kind of liquor bottle label design of my own. I also have a resource in my collection that I have been eager to make use of, which would be the perfect tool for creating a Victorian style brand design complete with ornate flourishes. Follow along with this Adobe Illustrator tutorial to create a vintage logo for a whiskey bottle label. I’ll show you how a layered typeface and its bonus assets can be used to quickly build great-looking artwork without the need to illustrate the ornaments or lettering by hand.
In today’s Adobe Photoshop tutorial I’m going to show you how you can easily create cool looking vintage logo designs by combining antique illustrations with some visually interesting text styles and layouts. This kind of artwork is really popular as T-shirt graphics, so I’ll show you how to set up your document at the appropriate size for a T-shirt design. To finish off the artwork, we’ll apply some vintage print effects and make use of my Washed and Worn textures to make the digital design look like a realistic old T-shirt print.
Access All Areas members have a cool font to download this week, courtesy of LovePowerDesigns. The Bearded Sailor is inspired by old-school tattoos that were popular with sailors. It’s a hand-drawn font with rounded strokes that pairs perfectly with both script and sans-serif fonts. The Bearded Sailor comes in two styles, a solid regular version, and a Shadow variant with stylish gaps beneath the spurs for more of a vintage appearance.
