We caught up with the design studio’s Adam Wagner to discuss the thoughts behind these new lavish resources and this is what he had to say!

“Do a Google search for “Spray paint textures” and you’ll see why we knew that the artistic community deserved better,” he explains.

“So, we brought in a well-known graffiti artist from right here in Cleveland to show us what he could do. And, well, we were mightily impressed!”

“Our graffiti artist had the supplies, technique, and experience to create incredible blended tones & texture. He quickly laid down a base of colors and then slowly added layers. By the time he got to the topmost layer, he was practically placing each drop individually! His control & detail was pretty amazing.”

“Really, it’s kind of like having your own personal Jackson Pollock at hand. To finish off each texture, he feathered the edges with white spray paint to achieve a natural splattered fade.”

“I’m happy with what we came up with, and I’ve already used the textures a few times. I like that these spray paint textures can be used without calling attention to themselves. With simple tools like Photoshop’s brightness/contrast and hue shift/saturation, the versatility is pretty impressive. Try blending these into any design that needs a more traditional, naturalistic, urban feel.”

If you’ve been inspired by these examples and wish to purchase the new pack, for just $34.99, that’s £22.11, then log onto http://arsenal.gomedia.us/spray-paint-texture-pack-volume-2.html

Do you feel like your Photoshop creations look a little flat and lifeless? Often the best way of injecting realism into your Photoshop work is by introducing some ‘real world’ elements. Here we have scanned in some sticky notes. There are four for you to enjoy, all on transparent backgrounds and at a high enough resolution to work in any document. Use them to tag a caption onto a photo, alter the colour slightly and use as sticky tape, or just use them as you would use them in real life!

Texture fans will love this file, which is full of lovely bumps, creases and fibres. It is great to use as a background or try something a bit more creative. In our example above, we pasted a photo in a separate layer and then used the Overlay blending mode to let the texture peep through. We then used one of the Spatter brushes as an eraser to rub away the edges for a more natural look. This texture would also work well on a digital painting.
