Many hours have gone into crafting these tools and resources, making them the biggest and best downloads available on Spoon Graphics. If you want to create truly great effects within your designs, purchase my design resource products:
Copy Shop
The Copy Shop has everything you need to recreate the gritty, low-fi aesthetic of photocopied designs, including actions, textures, templates and more!

More great tools and resources
I'm busy making more great products for you, but in the meanwhile here are my most used tools, including my favourite fonts, my go-to creative assets, and the products and services I use in my daily life as a designer. These are the tools and resources that I personally rely upon in my own creative toolbox to work smarter and more efficiently. I hope you find them useful too! If you decide to purchase some of these products yourself, I'll receive a small cut of the sale at no extra cost to you.
50% off My Favourite Fonts
I've always been a bit of a snob when it comes to fonts. I just can't stand the awful kerning and bad quality of many free fonts available on the web, so I've spent years building a library of pro-grade typefaces to call upon. I've managed to secure a 50% discount on my go-to favourite fonts. If you want to enjoy my most-used typefaces in your own projects too, check out this special custom bundle at Design Cuts.
Essential Creative Assets
I make use of all the free design resources I share here on Spoon Graphics in my own work, but I also rely upon a few trusty resources from other creatives that form an integral part of my toolkit.
Textures
Textures are a staple of my design work! They help to transform your clean, digital designs into more realistic artwork with a tactile appearance.
Patterns
Patterns are useful tools for filling large areas in your designs. It can be difficult to get them to tile seamlessly, so using ready-made assets is a real time-saver!
Effects Packs
If there's a certain visual effect you need to recreate in your artwork, Effects Packs can provide all the tools you need to produce a specific graphic style.
Mockups
Never present your print designs to clients—or in your portfolio—as flat graphics. Simulate how the finished print will look with mockup templates. These mockup packs contain every product you'll need!
Photoshop Brushes
There are essentially two types of Photoshop Brushes: Artistic brushes you paint with to create handmade effects, and brushes that apply texturing to your work. Both are really useful tools to have!
Illustrator Brushes
Illustrator brushes are the secret ingredient to creating authentic looking hand-drawn vector illustrations. Each brush set helps you create a whole new illustrative art style.
