60 Chalkboard Textures

Do you need a chalkboard texture but you are sick of backgrounds that look unrealistic and/or show repeating patterns? Then these textures are definitely for you!

They are high resolution – 12×12″ (3600×3600 px), and and are made from real, authentic chalkboard images. I used a high quality SLR to take literally hundreds of chalkboard images from every possible angle, light setting and level of (real) chalk density. The camera and I were both covered in chalk by the time I got done!

I then painstakingly used these images to construct these beautiful chalkboard backgrounds for you. They are incredibly diverse, including chalky, not so chalky, light, dark, green, blue, “velvety” or smooth, and everything in-between. This product represents many, many hours of work!

This collection includes 10 different textures (NOT seamless), each in 2 shades (light and dark) of 3 colors (gray, green and blue), which adds up to 60 images! You will receive them as JPG files, neatly organized according to color and shade.

Software compatibility: .JPG files will work with most graphic softwares.

Vintage Engraved Patterns

The fastest way to achieve authentically vintage looking designs and illustrations!

Even digitally drawing realistic, vintage artwork can be time-consuming and fiddly. So, why not try a new way to easily create your authentic-looking, etched illustrations with this incredibly realistic set of engraved, repeat patterns?

This nifty short-cut is so simple to use – just layer the patterns at different rotations to create hatching and build up shading. And if that wasn’t easy enough, I’ve also supplied each of the patterns at different rotations as one-click graphic styles (at 90, 22.5, -22.5, 45 and -45 degrees) to further reduce the time it takes to create your vintage art!

The patterns are supplied in black but it’s super easy to adjust the color and I’ve supplied comprehensive instructions on how to do this.

Included in this set:

• The Patterns – Fifteen highly detailed repeat pattern swatches.
• Graphic Styles – Each of the patterns supplied at different rotations as one-click graphic styles.
• Example files – The images from the preview. Use these to see how I achieved the look.
• Instructions. – A very thorough guide on how to load, apply and then adjust the patterns is supplied.

Software compatibility: Adobe Illustrator CS1 – CC.

41 Roller Paint Textures

Introducing the Roller Textures Pack!

Authentic design is all the rage, and the best way to achieve that authentic look is to get your hands dirty. But when time is of the essence, “getting your hands dirty” isn’t always the practical solution.

Within this pack you’ll find 41 High Resolution Roller Paint Textures in all the necessary formats (Infinitely Re-sizable Vector, Layered Photoshop PSD File & PNGs). Each individual texture was hand made with black acrylic paint, a paint roller, and smooth and rough card. Scanning each piece at 900 ppi made sure that the quality was transferred to digital as best as possible.

The technique that I use for removing the background (card or paper in this case) from my textures ensures that all the realistic details (paint gather, small highlights and shading etc) remain intact. This technique both improves the overall quality, and the flexibility of the textures. Allowing you to overlap my textures on any background, including other textures. Without any dodgy lines or other unwanted overlapping issues.

Included in this set:

• 41 High Resolution PNG Images of Each Texture
• Organised PSD File Containing all Textures
• Adobe Illustrator File with all Vectored Textures (Infinitely Resizable!)

Software compatibility: Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator CS5 and newer. .PNG files will work with most graphic softwares.

      Me, too. I think, wait! I have some of these (patterns, mock ups, fonts etc) already, and with my country’s dollar being so low, I should just let it pass. Then, I see one set of something I’ve always wanted (in this case, Two Little Owls), and think, well, why buy one set for the same price as this whole huge amazing bundle on Design Cuts? So, typically at the last minute, I cave.

      Automatic payments would help ;) I just missed the last bundle by a couple of hours and I am suffering from buyers’ regret. Why? WHY? The horror of the one that got away…

    OH. MY. GOODNESS. This bundle is a must for me. I cannot believe how many different pieces I can use in my work. To say I am excited is an understatement.

    I try my best to be strong when I first see a bundle. Must resist temptation, must resist temptation (I tell myself during my initial views of the bundles) and it took very little time for me to realize this bundle is an overwhelming hit out of the ballpark.

    Once again, Design Cuts provides amazing work created by incredible designers in a bundle that inspires me to create more with these resources. Thank you for saving me time, money, and making me want to be a better designer.

      Katie Best, thank goodness I’m not the only one! I also tell myself, “No,you don’t need another bundle – be strong – resist – you can do it!” And then I see the first few items in the bundle, and I go “No, I can’t resist – I have to buy it!”

      Sometimes I CAN resist, but not with this bundle – it’s absolutely gorgeous! I honestly don’t know how you “Design Cutters” keep coming up with these amazing deals for us. So many gorgeous products, and for such unbelievably low prices!

      Thank you!

    Damn you folks.

    I started scrolling down determined not to care about needing to have anything in this bundle, and by the time I was half way down the page I knew I was in trouble. And here at the bottom I know I have to have this…

    The worst part is that I just got through purchasing the previous bundle, right before the offer ended last night. I haven’t even started downloading it yet… and now I’m on the hook for another purchase the very next morning?

    Sheesh.

    It’s another good one. :-)

      Cracking up at your comment, Floyd. Just wait until you start downloading that last behemoth!

      I stopped scrolling halfway through the 2 Lil Owls stuff and bought it then and there. Just came back and scrolled the rest of the way to see what else I got. Christmas in July! Thanks, DC!

    ooooooooooooooooooh maps! Map, maps, maps! Sold

    Oh yeah, and the vintage engravings too. Had my eye on that one for a while too.

    PS: Why is it “had my eye on” and not “had my eyes on”? English is so weird :P

    • Ben Neeves

      Thanks so much for your purchase, Claudia! I hope you enjoy working with your new resources :)

      PS: totally agree with you – another one is “keep a sharp eye out” or “keep your eyes peeled” … English is pretty weird when it comes to eyes :P

        hehehe when I first moved to Canada, I used to get very frustrated because my brain works in a very logical way but English made no sense to me, as you point out. All of those idioms and quirks were giving me lots of grey hair. I never knew what people was saying to me. Now I just chuckle :)

        Also, this bundle rocks! Only until last night I browsed through the whole thing and finally learned all that I had gotten. Sweet.

        Oh, re PS: That is why I laughed like a clown at the movies during that scene in Iron Man 2 when Nick Fury says to Tony Stark: “I have my eye on you” but he only has one one, right? I am sure I laughed harder than I should have and people around me were wondering what in the world was wrong with me lol

          aha! Or how about his line in Captain America 2 when he says “you have to keep both eyes open” – I thought that one was pretty funny as well :)
