A couple of months back I made a post on my blog called 7 Bubble Textures to Pop Into your Designs, I really got a kick out of making those textures so I thought I’d try another batch here on Bittbox. These bubble textures were shot in our swimming pool, originally I wanted to take my camera under water to shoot some bubbles but it turns out that a plastic baggy is not a very good water proof enclosure. ;) Enjoy!

I can’t think of a better way to start the week than some yummy free vectors, can you? Our friends at The Vector Lab have offered BittBox another exclusive freebie for everyone to enjoy. If you’ve never been to TheVectorLab.com, it’s a site that sells high quality, royalty free vectors on the cheap. (I especially like their engravings. They have some of the best engraved ornaments on the web) Open up your stock folder and add another file to your archive. You never know when you might need a spiderweb vector! Thanks Ray :)

There’s this little bookstore where I live that has a secluded room towards the rear of the building that is packed with old and antique books.

For this set I took a propane torch to the edges of the paper to give the that vintage burned look. Enjoy!

If you have multiple computers, and you use both of them quite frequently (like myself), then you understand that syncing 2 computers is a never-ending battle. Syncing files is hard enough, but I want to share a workflow tip with everyone that will make your lives easier when switching back-and-forth between machines. I want to show you how to sync all your Photoshop Presets (Brushes, Actions, etc.) on multiple computers. This will speed up your design workflow, and increase productivity. For example, you download and install a new set of brushes in Photoshop on your laptop, then you get home, and the new brushes have already been downloaded and installed on your desktop. (Note: you can do this for Illustrator, InDesign, etc. I’m just using PS as an example.)
