5 Free Seamless Vector Patterns

March 22, 2007 | Posted in Freebies | 20 Comments »

I will elaborate on multiple ways to use these patterns in upcoming posts with both Illustrator and Photoshop, but for now, here are 5 seamless vector patterns for your designs. Formats: AI, EPS, SVG, PNG. Tip: instantly turn these 5 patterns into 10 by reversing the fill into a stroke. For those of you without a vector graphics editor, check out InkScape (free) or you can use the PNG provided with a transparent background.

Random Free Vectors Part 2 - Rounded Squares

March 21, 2007 | Posted in Freebies | 13 Comments »

Here is another example of a design play with a single shape. With a single shape, it’s possible to achieve very intricate designs, with a little layering, color, and path manipulation. I’ve been exploring simple shapes and layering lately, and again wanted to share with you a little super-simple inspiration.

5 Excellent Free Grunge Fonts

March 18, 2007 | Posted in Freebies | 200 Comments »

These are 5 of the (in my opinion) best free “grunge” or “eroded” typefaces of late. Three of which are from the same artist/typographer Gyom S?guin. I hope you didn’t miss these, but if you did, you can download them right away. They’re free. I wish I had more opportunities to take advantage of these fonts in a real situation, but I find that it’s always a good idea to keep these fonts around to save time having to look for them later.

Random Free Vectors Part 1 - Circles

March 15, 2007 | Posted in Freebies | 39 Comments »

I’m starting a new series today: Random Free Vectors. I started this blog to share things that I like to design, without having to have a client that needs it. So, I’m going to start posting some random vector designs that I like making in my spare time/research. These are obviously going to be more on the decorative/artsy side instead of web design, but they might come in useful as background elements, patterns, etc. I think it’s wrong for these to just sit collecting dust on my hard drive. I’m hoping that some of you can find uses for this series of freebies.

Free Photoshop Buttons: White Glass

March 15, 2007 | Posted in Freebies | 13 Comments »

This is a small set of of Photoshop buttons I made for a site I was working on a while back. It’s not a huge set, but I thought they were some nice buttons, and wanted to share them. They have an “inset” style to them with a silky glass effect, and will work well on almost any background. If you download the PSD, you will notice that here is not a highlight, but a shadow that creates the effect. Don’t forget to check the effects on the layers to see exactly how they are made, if you want to customize. For those of you who see no need to customize these buttons, a PNG with a transparent background is included.
