Free Hi-Res Photoshop Brushes: Destroyed Heraldry

I’ve got another high resolution Photoshop brush set for everyone’s downloading pleasure! I call these “Destroyed Heraldry,” and they were super fun to make. All of them are super-hi-res (most are 2500px). I spent a lot of time on each one individually, and they are a combnation of over 3 different types of media, and multiple layering effects to get to the end result.

Free Texture Tuesday: Light Blur

Time for a something a little different today, folks. To create these “light blur” textures I set my shutter speed to around a half a second, aimed my camera at a bright colored object, and spun or moved the camera quickly while the shutter was open. I hope you can find some unique uses for them!

Wanna Help Send Some Fellow Designers to FOWA?

Last year, I did my best to help send David Bracetty to FOWA. This year, I’ve been contacted again, and I’d like to spread the word to anyone who might be willing to help. A couple of our collegues in Tel Aviv, Israel are stating their case, and asking for help to get to this years FOWA (Future of Web Apps) event in Miami, FL. There are ways to help, even if you can’t donate, like spreading the word if you have a blog, for example. Anyway, I’ll be sponsoring these two guys, because I took one look at their website, and their work, and FOWA is where these 2 belong. Good Luck Guys! :)
