The Artifex Forge is giving this and other useful resources for free in a bid to help designers and illustrators who have been hit financially by COVID-19.

Create beautifully textured designs and streamline the design process!

Does this sound familiar? You’ve found some great looking textures but when you start to use them, you find they’re just too small! So you try up-scaling… but it doesn’t look right. You try tiling them… but it looks messy. The Artifex Forge is here to solve your design woes with these tremendous tileable textures!

They are super user-friendly as I’ve worked hard to convert each texture into a repeat pattern, which you can use to flood areas with just the click of a button. This means no more time wasted in trying to get textures to fit, no more unsightly edges and so no more compromises in your designs. These pattern textures are perfect for adding instant interest, depth, and detail to your projects.

I see texture everywhere I go and am constantly capturing it for use in my design and illustration work. I thought it was only fair to share the best and most interesting textures from my extensive personal library. I’ve included classic textures such as rust, paint, and wood as well as some more unusual ones like marble and hessian. Check out the final screen-shot for the full broad range.

To use them simply select a vector shape, or a piece of text, and click on a swatch. You can then easily rotate, scale or adjust the color to suit your design needs. I’ve supplied comprehensive instructions on how to do all of this.

Included in this set:

• The Patterns – Eighteen original repeat pattern swatches.
• Example files – A selection of the preview images. Use these to see how I achieved the look (these examples are compatible with Illustrator CS5 – CC only).
• Instructions – A very thorough guide on how to load, apply and then adjust the patterns is supplied.
