I’ve been playing around with bright lights and camera lenses to produce a range of realistic vibrant bokeh images that can be used as backgrounds to your designs, or overlaid onto photographs to add realistic retro style light leak effects. This set contains 30 high resolution JPGs, each with a unique spread of bokeh blurs in a variety of colours. Unlike the digitally crafted alternatives, these graphics have an extra level of authenticity with natural blends of hues and a touch of ISO grain.
Access All Areas members have a brilliant new premium design resource to download this week, courtesy of Carlos Fernando.

Every ready-made design is fully editable, so you can edit the text, change the font and swap the colours to generate unique designs every time. Each template is ready for print with a 3.5×2″ final print size, bleed guides and CMYK colour mode.
Access All Areas members have a new set of vector resources to download this week, courtesy of Eddy Biel from Layerform Design Co. This collection of 20 graphics have been digitally converted from authentic coffee stains with a variety of drips and splatters. Use them to produce vintage and grungy effects, or combine the circular shapes with your logo layouts to produce interesting designs.
This week, Access All Areas members have a new set of brushes to download for Adobe Illustrator, courtesy of Jeremy Child from The Artifex Forge. These brushes allow you to create graffiti inspired art, without the risk of a criminal record! They have been carefully vectorized from real spray can art to allow you to produce realistically sprayed lines with Illustrator’s brush and pen tools. 27 spray paint stroke brushes are included along with 6 bonus splatter brushes that can be used to add extra detail and texturing.
Access All Areas members have a fantastic new font to download this week, courtesy of Sam Parrett from Set Sail Studios. Sickamore is a loud and proud handmade brush font with a powerful and edgy style. It’s great for headers, logos and attention grabbing words or phrases. This is a font I’ve had in my personal collection for a while and has been a regular typeface choice for many of my own artworks, so I’m excited to team up with Sam and share it with my Access All Areas members.
A black and white conversion is a pretty simple task, but there’s a range of additional tweaks that can generate beautiful tones and enhance the overall mood of the shot. Following on from my Color Grading Photoshop Actions a few months ago, today I’m happy to share my new collection of Black & White Photo Effect Actions for Adobe Photoshop. The set contains 20 presets which apply a range of stylish effects to your photos. It includes actions that mimic analog photography aesthetics from different print techniques and toning methods, along with some creative monochrome effects with various colour casts.
