These scratch textures would work perfect for giving photos an old, worn look or even as a cool, grunge website background…they would definitely put an etch in your designs ;)

I’m taking suggestions for textures again, I’ve been able to fulfill a lot of the previous requests but if I haven’t gotten to yours just leave me a comment reminding me and I’ll try my hardest to make the textures you want in the coming weeks. Thanks!

Time for a little inspiration. Package design can be tricky, but as you can see here, sometimes it can be relatively simple and still come across as beling elegant. Sometimes, less is more…..

These textures were made in Photoshop by layering various grunge and paper textures together along with floral patterns. They may not have a wide variety of uses, but I think they’ll really come in handy when you find a place for them in your designs. Here are links to the patterns that were used:
