I’ve got some nice ones this week. Urban Decay. Who doesn’t like urban decay? These images are from a run down building built in the 1920′s. Lot’s of renovations and swapping owners created these nice urban decay textures. (You can click on the images and get the full size ones from Flickr)
Congratulations to LyLian, Patrick, and Peter Hanley, the 3 lucky winners of the Strata Design 3D SE + Strata Foto 3D SE Bundle. This is some great software that can be put to good use and I’d like to thank Strata for making the giveaway possible. I hope you guys enjoy the software!
I’ve recently come across a lifesaver Photoshop plugin that is gonna rock your world. It’s called GuideGuide from Cameron McEfee and it’s a godsend for creating print layouts, and web for that matter. GuideGuide is free, and its a “panel” that assists you with laying out your guides across the artboard/document. Instead of having to do the math with complicated layouts, you can simply tell guide guide how far from each side of the document you want to place a guide. So simple it hurts.
GuideGuide can even find the center of a selection! You can set the number of columns, and gutter width as well. This is one USEFUL plugin, and I wanted to share it with everyone. Thanks to my friend Mike for the tip. :)

This week I’ve got some porcelain tile textures. These would be great used as a subtle texture behind other artwork. They aren’t too grungy, but still have some nice texture to them. (You can click on the images and get the full size ones from Flickr)
Ive got some more awesome software up for grabs. My friends at Strata have recently launched some new products that I think you guys (and gals) will love. Strata Design 3D SE and Strata Foto 3D SE. It’s my job to give 3 copies of both in a bundle from the Mac app store to 3 lucky BittBox commenters. Be sure to read the rules, and good luck :)
Albeit not entirely design related, I told my friends at MacLegion I’d help spread the word about their launch, and their spring bundle. It’s an incredible deal, and there are some productivity/workflow tools in the mix that would benefit anyone, including designers. If you’re in the market for saving a heap of cash, head on over :)
This weeks textures are some finished wood images. I can’t remember who, but someone requested “polished” wood to me on twitter. I hope these are close enough! (You can click on the images and get the full size ones from Flickr)
