Access All Areas members have been treated to some amazing resources from Vintage Design Co over the previous months and they’re back again with this amazing collection of vector textures from the Texture Armoury. This premium pack contains 36 detailed vector textures based on canvas, wood, gravel, paint and wood. We usually see great textures for Photoshop but vector textures are pretty rare, which makes this huge collection extremely attractive to Illustrator fans.
Access All Areas members are in for another treat this week! Expert designer Matt Borchert has kindly donated a full volume of his fantastic vintage texture packs. Vol 3 of his Vintage Texture Pack series contains 30 super high resolution textures scanned from sources dating back to the 1800s. Each one is a huge 4500x4500px file with varied levels of detail, ranging from dark aggressive details to fine etch marks.
This week I teamed up with Ian Barnard of Vintage Design Co to arrange some fantastic resources for Access All Areas members. The Vintage Logo Elements Collection contains 75 vector elements to quickly build trendy vintage style identities of your own, as well as a bonus set of 10 high resolution texture files to distress your designs to achieve that classic vintage look.
Halftone screen patterns are a key ingredient of retro design, but it can be difficult to find or create realistic screentone style resources. Photoshop and Illustrator can produce halftone effects, but the result is a series of perfectly formed circles which don’t look very antique at all and fail to capture that grungy rock poster vibe. I’ve manually created a collection of distressed halftone patterns by hand to achieve that authentic printed appearance. There’s 12 patterns in total, each varying in dot size and density to provide a range of texturing resources.
I literally risked my life to bring you this week’s texture pack and I have charred fingers to prove it! Grab this free set of high resolution burnt paper textures to incinerate your designs, perfect for giving pages an antique appearance or creating an old treasure map. Each burnt paper is available as a high resolution JPEG or a PNG file with transparency. With a few simple steps you can overlay these textures onto your designs and create a realistic burnt edge effect.
Subtle textures are always handy when you’re looking to add some detail to your design projects or to just produce a cool background for your mockups. This free set of textures features 6 high resolution files, each with subtle markings and a muted colour overlay to quickly and easily add a touch of grunge to your work.
