19 Free Hi-Res Burnt Paper Textures

Ive had these burnt paper textures lying around for a few months, had them scanned in to my computer but didnt have chance to upload them, i can think of a few things that i would use these textures for including web designs.

They are relativly high resolution 1600 x 1135 px so they should be a good size to play with and add to your designs, some of them may need colour adjusments and cleaning up but im sure you know what youll do with them, so i hope you enjoy them.

Design Shards October 2008 Calendar On Smashing Magazine

While making my re-design for my site I was also working on an entry for smashing magazines October calendars, luckily it made the cut and was featured on the list this month.

October Can Be Beautiful Too

If you want a specific resolution feel free to leave a comment stating what you want and id be glad to upload it for you, or you could resize the bigger resolution.

I have a big interest in illustration so i picked up my £35 graphics tablet and got to work on creating a face, I am very pleased with how it turned out and could stare at her eyes all day.

The wooden background is a texture that i included in my texture pack that I released a few months ago, also I added extra overlays to the illustration with other textures that I included in the pack to make it more rustic and give it a feel of nature and autumn.

I created the calendar from a piece of cardboard and downloaded a leaf stock image pack from deviant art, added it all together and that was the result feel free to download the calendar, if you have no use for it maybe you could get some inspiration from it, either way hope you like it.

You’ll notice the wide open space on the left of the calendar, I realise some people don’t have Icons on there desktop but I do so I am sorry if this annoys you or if your using vista that the calendar gets covered up by your widget.

Download The Brushes

  1. Free From Media Slap: Download (12mb)
  2. Visit Media Slap : Media Slap

About The Brushes

The first is 19 brushes from 18 sets on media slap and the 2nd is 20 border brushes from the entire ‘Bangin Borders’ set.

The pictures don’t do these brushes justice as they are at HI-RES 2500px / 2500px this means you can use them, for bigger projects that you have or scale them down to fit better.

I personally like the grungy style border brushes that are included in this pack.

Samples of the brushes

These Brushes are infact HI-RES 2500px / 2500px
