I’ve released a few sets of halftone texture resources on my blog over the years, but this latest collection is definitely the easiest to use when adding tones to your illustrations in Adobe Photoshop. These Photoshop Brushes allow you to paint with halftone patterns directly onto your artwork. Choose from 12 distressed halftone effects with varying degrees of density and dot size, then alter the brush size and colour to suit. As you enlarge the painted area, the halftone pattern will seamlessly expand too, making it easy to add retro shading tones to your designs.
Access All Areas members have a tremendous collection of tileable texture patterns for Adobe Illustrator to download this week, courtesy of Jeremy Child from The Artifex Forge. Every one of these 18 textures has been sourced from unusual materials and painstakingly converted into a seamlessly repeating pattern you can use to flood areas of your designs with just the click of a button. These pattern textures are perfect for adding instant interest, depth and detail to your projects. You’ll find classic textures such as rust, paint and wood as well as some more unusual ones like marble and hessian.

Access All Areas members have a wonderful collection of vintage logo templates to download this week, courtesy of Roman Paslavskiy. This Minimal Vintage Logos volume contains 20 pre-made designs in a simple retro style with a touch of roughness. The badge templates are fully editable and 100% vector, so you can edit all the text and stroke weights, and scale the logos without losing sharpness. Some designs are fully type based, whilst others include graphics that ties it to a specific theme, such an apparel brand or the adventure/outdoors industry.
Spoon Graphics Readers may recognise this marquee sign effect from my video tutorial last week. I mentioned in the video that I would be working on a full collection of characters to share with my members. After many hours of rendering the 3D artwork, I now have a set of A-Z characters, 10 numbers and 4 glyphs to form a complete pack. Each one is based on the vintage bulb letter sign style and features realistic lighting and textures. They come as individual PNG files with transparent backgrounds, or compiled within a layered PSD so you can quickly add broadway style type to your own designs.
